User blog:RoninTheMasterless/Knight Owl on a Budget

In a recent conversation with a friend of mine, she told me she was not a fan of Batman or the superhero genre (the former broke my heart the most honestly). She said she preferred stories with characters that were more easily identified with, in which ordinary characters make a stand, take action, etc. Obviously I disagree with her in many ways. I myself always thought superheroes in general showed us how extraordinary we can be, and the impossible worlds they dwell in were illustrative too me that all the things I wanted to accomplish always seemed impossible before I did them. Her view is valid and not unfounded, as many superhero films neglet the need to have tension: that atmosphere that the character can die, or at least the character thinks they can, because, in my opinion, I can intellectually know the title character won't die, but the movie can still convey that that character could have died. I like to think she'd. enjoy Knight Owl, because I like to think I made him feel like a real person. Due to this conversation, and my own love of Daredevil on Netlix I've decided to make a down and dirty Knight Owl blog that may or may not become a reality at somepoint, but overall this is mostly for catharsis.
