Fun for kids and those kids at heart!
Format: Paperback
When I was a kid around 8 or 9 years old, we would go to an outdoor theatre, a special treat. I remember the old 1960's era Batman movies playing on the screen. It was fun, exciting, heroic...all those things that made it pure enjoyment. When I think of recent Batman movies that have turned dark, deadly, desperate, all the fun has gone out of those experiences and I simply don't watch those movies. This is simply a long way of saying that this book, Bruce Wayne: Not Super, brought back all the fun I experienced as a kid. Here we have our hero, who doesn't think he is, who compares himself to everyone around him with supernatural abilities, and begins to grow desperate. The background story is essentially the same: dead parents, rotten town, etc. But we see life from his perspective and can root for him all the way. He goofs up, makes lots of mistakes and this makes him even more lovable. This book is prefect for readers young and old, and if this made into a movie, I guarantee you that I would watch it. Highly recommended.
