When I clicked on the trailer for a new Batman documentary, I didn’t expect to get teary-eyed.  But Legends of the Knight isn’t your typical superhero flick…

The waterworks really come when Culp speaks to young fan Kye

Sapp, who took strength from the Caped Crusader when he was fighting leukemia at age 5.

Interviewer: “What would Batman do if he had cancer?”

Sapp: “He would try to stand back up and fight it … like I did.”

Oh, man.
