A mysterious caped crusader who dresses as Batman has been spotted hanging from bus stops and landmarks around a city centre.

The unidentified “superhero” has become an internet sensation after suspending himself by his ankles in broad daylight in various Nottingham locations.

He claims his superpower is to make people laugh and says his aim is to save the world from impending misery by putting a smile on people’s faces.

But although he lives near the real Gotham in Nottingham, the Batman impersonator is no Bruce Wayne.

All he will reveal is that he is a plasterer with a five-year-old son and is also a drummer in a band.
