Batman escapes ticket after being pulled over

A man in a black Lamborghini and dressed as Batman is pulled over by Maryland police for displaying “Bat-plates” – but released after showing the correct, civilian licence plates.

US police pulled over a motorist dressed as Batman, but the caped crusader escaped – legally – without a ticket.

Lenny Robinson, who dresses as the superhero to visit sick children in hospital, was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman logo tags outside Washington.

Officers wanted to talk to him about his superhero logo licence plate, which is not approved in Maryland.

In the film, the officers approach the car and the man dressed as the comic book hero gets out and shakes hands with the officers. One officer says: “It’s a nice car, dude.”

Once “Batman” has shown the policemen his correct, civilian licence plate, he is allowed to continue on his way to an appearance at Georgetown University Hospital.
