Batman to the Rescue

Recently I was driving my two small children home when my car broke down in the middle of San Vicente Boulevard. I was so nervous, wondering how I was going to get both children out of their car seats with so many people honking their horns and driving around us.

It was the most welcome thing for someone to appear out of nowhere, take charge of the situation and push the car to the side of the road, which is exactly what Michael Keaton did.

Some people have this notion that the people we see in films are somehow not the same as the rest of us. Indeed, Keaton is not like the rest of us; he is better than many of us. Thank you, Mr. Keaton, for your example. SHIRA SUSMAN
