As we get closer and closer to SDCC, I get bombarded with press releases and other SDCC related info – most of it is parties, panels, etc.
Every once in a while I get a story that is so compelling that it NEEDS to be shared with the world. This is one of those stories – I ask you to please read this press release, watch the trailer, SHARE this post, and attend the panel.
If you have ever been inspired by Batman, then “Legends of the Knight” is the perfect panel for you to check out while at SDCC.
Please watch the video first:
Filmmaker Brett Culp tells a compelling story of how Batman plays a vital role in the lives of thousands of people across the world. Here is some more info:
