Batman sighting sends school officials into a tizzy

Earlier today three Phoenix-area schools went into lockdown after a person dressed as Batman ran across the campus of a middle school.

The student described the person as 6 feet 3 inches tall and possibly male.

“We’re assuming it was male, although they did have a mask on,” Sgt. Mark Clark said.

Heh … I’m guessing this wasn’t another marketing stunt from a Time Warner company. Officials say Batman was never found. Which makes sense, because he’s the goddamn Batman

    Couldn’t have been the real Batman. He doesn’t go out during the day. :P

    Frank Miller has created one of the greatest quotes in comicdom’s lexicon. God bless him.

    Judging by how nuts Frank Miller sounded in his NPR interview, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was him (with lifts in his shoes) running around screaming, “I’m the goddamn Batman,” and asking which kid wanted to come back to his cave and eat rats.

    I’m surprised Homeland security was not all over this, surely it is a terrorist trying to disrupt the fabric of America.

    Seriously I hope it was a prank and not some person with malicsious intent.

    pfft. When someone dressed as Superman flies over a middle school campus, then I’ll be impressed. And worried.

    The Bat-man is an urban myth. You’ll notice there are no pictures. Sure some kid saw a big bat figure running around his school. “Users are losers” pal. I can’t believe anyone would waste media coverage on another sighting of the “mysterious” Bat-man.
