It is funny.
It's also a reflection of gang culture in the city; the Batman outfit is presumably intended to reduce the likelihood of identification and retribution.

I presume you're joking? From the photo it looks more like the effects of a night on the razz!

No, the man handed in was a wanted criminal, not someone who'd committed a crime on the night.
I live in Clayton, which you know to be a relatively quiet suburb, but we are are certainly not short of police cars here today.

Great story this. Trending on twitter allegedly.
Then wisdom says: cherish your days, worry only lets your time slip away
Push away the thief trying to steal your gift, the fighter is the one whose feet are swift.

Don't mind folk dressing up as Batman, it's the Robins I'm not too keen on.
"I don't see what all the fuss is about. I mean, it's only fair after last year isn't it? Look Neil, just for you, I've put my best Rovers' tie on today in the hope it'll go some way to make up for it. Oh, by the way, Jon sends his regards."

It would appear not.

Yes, mea culpa. Apologies.
I hadn't realised it happened two Sundays ago (when Bradford City were at Wembley), and not last Sunday, when people don't generally patrol the streets in superhero outfits.

Yes, the (alleged) villain asked the super-hero to give him a lift to the cop shop.
"No, I can't. Catwoman has me tied to a seat at Wembley, where I'm having to watch City take a pasting. I'll have to escape first."
