Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Christopher Dennis and Joe McQueen, aka Superman and The Incredible Hulk. They’re the guys who dress as comic book heroes on Sunset Strip and get their photos taken with tourists. They’re in town to help promote the documentary about their lives, Confessions of a Superhero, which made its SXSW debut Saturday.

There’s two more screenings of Confession this week: 9:45pm Tuesday at the Alamo Downtown, and 9:30pm Thursday at Austin Convention Center.
