'Batman' hands over wanted burglar to police
LONDON (AP) - A man dressed as Batman has brought a suspected burglar into a police station in northern England.
West Yorkshire Police said Monday that they do not know the identity of the man who appeared in "a full Batman outfit" and turned in a 27-year-old suspect to police in Bradford, England.
CCTV images released by police show a caped crusader - fully clad with the comic hero's boots, gloves and logo across his chest - standing alongside a man in a red hooded sweatshirt.
Police said the handover occurred on February 25 and the suspect will appear in court on March 8 charged with handling stolen goods and fraud-related offenses.
Looks like Batman had a run-in with "The Wrinkler" today...Â
Doesnt this person understand that DC comics could sue him for copyright infringement or misrepresentation of their property? Wearing a costume to something like comic-con or a film release is one thing but this is overkill. Why take the legal risk, let alone the humiliation of wearing an improperly fitted outfit?
@DarkRenegade There's always a pessimist in every crowd. Have a sense of humor for heaven sakes. We just had the comic festival here and hundreds of people were dressed like their favorite super hero. Chill out!
@citizen kane Im hardly a pessimist. Just tired of people trying to escape reality and themselves by being something they arent. They want to be a hero, join up and get your dogtags.
@MikeCoomer Ah the customary troll posting comes along....
@DarkRenegade Wait a minute! Is DarkRenegade a pseudonym for Batman? Are you Bruce Wayne? No wonder your pissed at somebody donning the suit and whoopin ass.
Don't worry. Your secret's safe with us.
Batman rocks!Â
Holy inferiority complex! Doesn't even qualify to be an Adam West suit! That suit really sucks!
Batman needs to get to a tailor and get his Batsuit fitted.Â
