Pinoy Super heroes @ 13th Pusan International Film Festival

its great to see that they have a special screening of Asian Superheroes, there's a list that includes Darna, Capt. Barbell, Lastikman, all of are Mars Ravelo creations. But its so weird that I didn't know that there is Darna in Indonesia, is this a typo error? hmmm, but its great also to see Kamen Rider and Inframan in the list and also other super heroes from other asian countries, I really want to watch them on screen.
