"Kick-Ass" is based on the 8-issue "Kick-Ass" comic book mini-series created by Mark "Wanted" Millar and John Romita Jr. following a superhero fan who decides to become a costumed crime-fighting vigilante. Along the way, he meets up with other vigilantes including 'Red Mist' and father-daughter team 'Big Daddy' and 'Hit Girl'.


"Kick-Ass" is co-produced by Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B.

His first attempt at fighting crime results in Dave being overpowered, then hit by a car. But determined to retain his secret identity, he hides his costume before paramedics arrive.



The $70 million comic book adaptation will be released by Lionsgate April 16, 2010.
