One of the more popular genres of film today is that of the comic book. It seem that every few months there is another movie based on a comic book coming out, and almost weekly there are 2 or 3 movies being announced. Of this genre, one of the more popular sub genres is the “made at home” super hero. Kick-Ass, Defendor, Griff the Invisible and James Gunn’s Super are recent entries into this sub genre. While these movies didn’t rake in the money at the box office, they have a cult following and are very popular among the fans. The newest entry into this sub genre is Boy Wonder. Of these movies, Boy Wonder might be the most interesting film of the bunch.

As a kid who grew up reading comic books, I dreamt of one day being a superhero with the abnormal abilities to be faster than a speeding bullet and catch thieves just like flies. That's just what Sean Donovan sets out to do...only Sean doesn't have superpowers or a brightly colored disguise or even a mighty moniker. All he shares with caped crusaders and spandex-clad superheroes is the unfailing determination to see evil thwarted in his city. The driving factor at the core of every great masked avenger. Their origin story, if you will.

Producer Michael Morrissey is ready to make the jump from producing to directing and if the trailer for his first feature is any indication, he’s about to arrive with a bang.
Taglined “Beware the Hero,” Boy Wonder isn’t your caped crusader hero film. Heck, it doesn’t even truly follow the recent batch of awkward super hero’s we’ve been seeing of late (Kick-Ass (review) and Defendor (review) come to mind) as he has no bright costume but Sean Donovan is a hero none the less.
After witnessing the brutal killing of his mother, Sean grows up obsessed with finding her killer. A good student by day and vigilante hunter of bad guys by night, the boundaries of right and wrong begin to blur and his dual lives begin to collide.
The trailer is pretty amazing, cutting between Sean’s past and his present with great speed...
