What kid never thought about actually being a super hero while reading comic books? If you cant answer that question it is because it is a trick question. Every kid who ever read any comic books growing up, at least once, thought about being a super hero. This movie features kids that take the super hero idea and make it their own. Kick Ass turns it up a notch.

Kick Ass will debut in theaters April 16, 2010. But until then your going to have to settle for Nicolas Cage telling us how the 60's style Batman inspired his take on Big Daddy:



"When Damon Macready is in his Big Daddy mode, that uniform is like his homage to the early Batman, not 'Dark Knight,' but older, like Adam West-style," he explained

Cage even went so far to say that his voice style is also modeled after the Mayor on Family Guy:

"That was the homage," said Cage. "Adam West would've been the Batman that he grew up with. That would be the Batman that would help him get the job done."
