Who is britain's mysterious real-life batman?

Batman has given up on Gotham and, apparently, his exercise routine. A frumpy version of the Caped Crusader turned in a suspected burglar to a police station in Bradford, England, according

to the BBC. The official statement from the Trafalgar House Police Station: While the BBC tracked down a woman who believes she sold the costume to the man, his identity remains unknown. We,

brooding, a sudden interest in spelunking, and any close friendships with elderly butlers. 2. AN AGING ACTOR MAKING A COMEBACK Maybe there is a reason the secretive hero was dressed as the

campy 1960s Batman instead of the most recent one: Adam West is back. We hope this means the return of the Batcomputer. 3. A BOY-BAND HEARTTHROB A free daily email with the biggest news

Europe with Anne Hathaway. She'll be the one giving a teary, carefully rehearsed speech in front of a large audience.
