More life imitating comic book news! So imagine you're a suspected drug offender living in London and you're just chilling at your place when suddenly there is a knock on your door. Outside stand two men dressed as Batman and Robin, drunk out of their mind, looking for a costume party that was supposed to be in your neighborhood. Surely you wouldn't open the door to these people. Next come knocking on your door are seven uniformed police officers, looking around your neighborhood on a noise complaint. Being a suspected drug offender, you DEFINITELY wouldn't open your door to these fellows.
Your roommates, however, definitely would, seeing as some obnoxiously drunk people just dropped by and they wanted the annoyance to be taken care of immediately. And who better to tell than a whole armada of police officers? Well, much to your chagrin, they actually invite the police officers in and of course you run to the back door, in an attempt to escape into the night. Unfortunately when you open the door, there stands Batman and Robin again: Not drunk at all, holding police badges and handcuffs.
Awesome! It's stories like that that makes me want to join the police force and set up some kind of costumed operation where I'm an old lady in a park or a window washer or something. But still, nothing could be as cool as dressing up as Batman and Robin to capture criminals. When I'm taking them down I would definitely add in a few "WHAM!" "POW!" or "CRACK!"s.
Well, apparently all of this did happen a few days ago in London. I wish there were photographs of the officers involved in the operation.
Something I'd really like to know more about this story is whether they were dressed as 1960's era (Adam West and Burt Ward) or like 1990's era (George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell). I've got my fingers crossed on 1960's because if you know me, you know that the 1966 Batman movie is my favorite of all time.

That's some pretty spicy hero-on-sidekick action there.
