How cool is this? Although Batman in England doesn’t seem right. But mad kudos to the old school Batman uniform and just doing the whole vigilante thing. Awesome.
I do have to wonder though about the state of robbers in England. I mean, this Batman doesn’t exactly look…in shape. How did he get this robber to submit? This line of thinking leads me to believe that maybe he had a sidekick or maybe even a legion of chubby suburban superheroes working together like a League of Unextraordinary Gentlemen.
A man dressed as Batman has brought a suspected burglar into a police station in northern England.
West Yorkshire Police said Monday that they do not know the identity of the man who appeared in “a full Batman outfit” and turned in a 27-year-old suspect to police in Bradford, England.
CCTV images released by police show a caped crusader — fully-clad with the comic hero’s boots, gloves and logo across his chest — standing alongside a man in a red hooded sweatshirt.
Police said the handover occurred on February 25 and the suspect will appear in court on March 8 charged with handling stolen goods and fraud-related offenses.

"How did he get this robber to submit?"
Probably used a Jedi Mind Meld.

This guy should probably work on his abs if he wants to go around dressed as Batman…

You really should be careful about judging overweight men in Britain. They're a dime a dozen and one overweight fellow could probably tackle you, punch you through a wall and, in blatant disregard to intuitive sense, outrun you thanks to his past on the school rugby team, professional fighting experience be damned, these men can be freight trains.
My guess is this guy is one such overweight fellow.

Yeah, uh, anyone ever notice pro kickboxers ain't built like basketball players? More like linebackers.
Good technique can compensate for a difference of size and strength. People who are already big and strong only need good technique to fight each other.

I wouldn't make fun of his weight. It's rather traditional to look like a bowl of pudding and actually be too dense to float.
