I'm rewatching "Catch Me If You Can" and noticed something meaningless that struck me – When Hanratty (Tom Hanks) is told that Barry Allen is "The Flash" – we cut to him on a payphone telling this to a colleague. He's holding a small stack of "The Flash" comics, which I guess stresses this point in the movie, but…
I find it totally meaningless and unrealistic – what would be the point of buying the comics just because of this realization? I'm happy to be corrected if someone can justify this, and I'd like to know what other details do y'all nitpick in movies?
