‘Batman’ held for scaling Buckingham Palace wall

A quote from the Metro newspaper earlier this year (UK)

"Batman and Robin are back fighting crime - in Whitley.

Two mystery men dressed as the Caped Crusader and his sidekick have scared away robbers in the town near Reading. They also saved a stranded motorist and even shooed off two streakers from a football pitch. 'They just appeared - I saw them running down the road in Batman and Robin outfits,' said driver Michelle Kirby, who was pushed to a petrol station after her Peugeot 206 ran out of fuel. 'I was laughing so much. They stayed in character the whole time.'

Ray Cox, 61, spotted the real-life superheroes sprinting through the town while shopping with his wife. 'Batman was quite a broad chap,' he said. 'They would scare a few muggers off'

Cheers

Because superheroes are, mainly, an American phenomenon, not a British one.

And what is a phenomenon for British geeks?

Binge drinking.

That's not a phenomenon. It's a daily ritual. Beer in the morning, noon and night. If you guys hadn't embrace tea parties, it'll be beer parties.

Unlike the comics version, this Batman stood around waiting for the police and receiving compliments for the arrest.

They also took down the name and send a padded van to pick him up at his home residence.

He should've learned from the original: run away.

Batman actually called me at about 3 AM once. He said he had caller ID and that I had just called him, but he missed the call. So he was calling me back.

>_<

If he has the lack of brains to pull off something like this, it's no wonder they won't let him see his kids.
