The pit stains…of justice.

Hell yeah! Batman exists in the real world! Finally Gotham’s seedy underworld is going to be washed clean with the mop of righteousness! Well…except this Batman lives in Petoskey, Michigan and mostly just gets arrested. Hmmm.

Mark Wayne Williams’ first arrest came last year when he was found lurking around rooftops wearing a Batman outfit and carrying a baton, pepper spray and sand-filled gloves. Yes, sand-filled gloves. Don’t ask me. More recently Mark showed up to the scene of a hit-and-run in his Batman costume and wouldn’t leave.

Mark has been sentenced to probation and banned from wearing any costumes, which seems kind of harsh. Mark Williams’ methods may seem crazy now, but just you wait Petoskey — you’ll be begging for him to put the cape and cowl back on once the Riddler decides to target northern Michigan.
