This is a job for Batman! Or, maybe not?

He may be the caped crusader but even Batman is not allowed to cross a police line no matter how honorable his intentions.

The realistic-looking comic book superhero appeared to have traded in his usual Batmobile for a pickup truck, but there was no mistaking who he had come to help - the local police force in Kelowna, British Columbia.

The fearless fighter was caught on camera by a fellow motorist who managed to capture the humiliating turnaround after being told to return to the Batcave.

Batman was seen walking back across the street to his car looking rather sullen and rejected - his cape not flowing quite as majestically as usual.

If he'd have listened to his police scanner, he would have realized that the police were responding to a domestic incident and likely didn't need his help.

Upon approaching the armed Kelowna officers during the incident to offer them assistance, cops assured him that they 'had it under control'.

'We were driving home from a friend's house Saturday evening when a police car pulled out in front of us and blocked the intersection,' said Melissa Parent who shot the video an uploaded it to Facebook.

'He was followed by five more police cars, so we pulled over at a safe distance to see what was going on. Before we knew it, the cops had their guns drawn and Batman came out of nowhere, parked in front of us in his black Dodge truck covered in the Batman logo and sprung into action.'

A police spokesman told local media, 'Situations like this are dynamic and subject to change very quickly: the presence of 'Batman' or anyone else is an unwanted distraction and foolish as they are placing themselves at risk.'
