Can you tell which loglines are real?

From Studio System News:

…since it’s April Fools’ Day, we took it upon ourselves to take some log lines of real, existing projects that are currently in development and mix them up with a few that came out of our own imagination. Can you tell the difference? Which ones are real … and which are not?

1. Hero
Log line: “A secret government operation using human experimentation turns a homeless man into a superhero, erasing his memory in the process. They must then deal with the consequences when he ultimately learns what they did to him.”

2. Bruiser and BiffLog line: “After his fiancée dumps him, a recently successful cartoonist sees his creations come to life and give him advice. He believes he’s going crazy until he realizes that everything they tell him to do is right.”

3. The Wolf’s Hour
Log line: “Set during WWII, a werewolf searching for his long-lost blood brother is recruited by the Allies to stop a Nazi plot to drop a poison gas on England.”

4. Talon
Log line: “Dragons who disguise themselves as humans are out to rule the world and the Order of St. George is out to kill them. So when a female dragon and a slayer get involved there are consequences.”

5. The Great Pastry War
