Confessions of a Superhero (2007)
This is a documentary about a group of folks who dress up as superheros and make their living on tips taking photos with tourists.
All of these people want to be in the movie industry, and make a decent living from tips. They were on the news when they became overly aggressive with tourists. By law, they can't demand to be paid for being in photos. They will say "We work on tips." Sometimes, particularly the person who plays Batman gets enraged and will go after those who don't "tip." These people are glorified panhandlers.
Sad, but intriguing. The guy who has a stunning resemblance to Christopher Reeves claims he is the son to Sandy Dennis (Who's Afraid of Virgnia Woolf? and Splendor in the Grass). Superheros they are not, but they have few options at this point.
Either 75 or 80 out of 100.
