Batman crashes in on Buckingham Palace.


CNN Article

Apparently Robin distracted the guards while Batman climbed up to a ledge near the balcony.

Slick shoes?! Are you crazy?!

As far as I can remember, he did a similar stunt last year dressed as Spiderman - then he scaled Tower Bridge dressed as Spiderman!

Actually the plan was that Robin would go up there too. But the police threatened to shoot him, so he had to stop.

This is the part where the American right-wingers chime in and demand jail time for him for daring to protest, the usual "get a job, freak" remarks, etc.

Just like last time, no?

Yeah, the real Robin is not a quitter (e.g. Nightwing)

My first thought was that the suit is a very poor looking copy of the original. He should fire the tailor.

He's campaigning for father's rights apparently. And that's the best way to show you're a good father really... walk out on a ledge in a Batman suit.
