Holy justice system! A Michigan man who tried to be a real-life Batman, but got into a tiff with police, has been ordered to hang-up his tights and mask for six months.
Police in Petoskey arrested Mark Wayne Williams, known as the Petoskey Batman to his fans, in May when they found him dangling from a roof dressed in a Caped Crusader's costume.
After rescuing Williams, then 31, they discovered the wannabe crime-fighter was carrying a baton, a canister of a chemical irritant spray and lead-lined gloves. They arrested him for trespassing and carrying dangerous weapons.
The charges were changed and in a deal reached last month, Williams pleaded guilty to one count of resisting and obstructing an officer, according to The Petoskey News-Review.
A judge sentenced him Monday to probation for six months, during which time he's forbidden to dress up in his Batman outfit.
Williams's arrest and mug shot made him a brief celebrity. The booking photo depicts him posing in his blue and gray costume with sweat-soaked armpits that would make Adam West cry. A Facebook page for the Petoskey Batman has more than 4,000 fans.
Concerned about vigilante-like behavior, police around the country have started treating amateur superheroes like super villains
In Seattle, Benjamin Fodor, who tried to keep the streets safe at night under his alter ego Phoenix Jones, was arrested for allegedly assaulting late-night revelers this month.

And how exactly is this any different than the usual way superheroes are treated by law enforcement? I seem to recall several having warrants for their arrest, or at least officers having vendetta's against them...
Hello! to all you on aw.

You may or may not have heard of me on the other forum, but I am no longer the super unfamous Rejected, but the incredibly noobish RetardLover. The new name fits more of my …
Anyway, my anime preferences are cyberpunk, horror and supernatural based, but i'm also a typical 90's kid who grew up on Akira, Bebop, Ghosts in Shells, Gundam Wing, DBZ and most anime shown on Toonami and Adult Swim. I enjoy a generous amount of anime outside of those years so take me as open minded in terms of anime discussion.
