A lot of people will say, “Firemen, now those are the real heroes.” But I ask, isn’t the fire department just a fraternity for 30-year-olds? Superheroes which, like all superhero movies, contains an unnecessary cameo by Stan Lee, is a new documentary from newbie director Mike Barnett airing on HBO this Monday, following the real superheroes — no, not cancer doctors or hospice nurses — but weirdos who put on costumes and “fight crime.” Documentaries about weirdos tend to be the best documentaries, but I confess, I really wish it had more parkour.
