The Caped Crusader, as it turns out, is British and could probably stand to lose a few pounds. An unidentified man in an ill-fitting Batman outfit escorted a wanted burglar to a police station in northern England, then disappeared awkwardly into the night.

This mystery man dressed as Batman demonstrated the same crime-fighting skills as the Caped Crusader when he handed over a suspect wanted for burglary in Britain.
Closed-circuit television footage showed a portly figure wearing an ill-fitting costume including gloves, a cape, and a mask, bringing a 27-year-old man to a police station in Bradford in northern England.
"The person who brought the wanted man into the station was dressed in a full Batman outfit," a spokeswoman for West Yorkshire Police said. "His identity, however, remains unknown."
