By now you've surely all seen or heard about Buckingham Palace's Batman on board.

London's police chief has demanded an urgent inquiry after a fathers rights campaigner dressed as Batman evaded supposedly tight security to stage a protest on a Buckingham Palace balcony.

My favorite part of all of this is how it was reported on the local news. An anchorwoman made a "clever" remark about how (I'm paraphrasing), "Usually the police are glad to see the Caped Crusader..."

She then switches to a more serious tone and continues, "...but not when it isn't the real Batman. This fake Batman managed to go unnoticed as..."

Am I wrong, or did she just imply that there is a real Batman? On the news. WTF?!!

My second favorite part of this whole thing is imagining how the fuck a dude in a Batman costume (aka this fake Batman) was able to evade security. Note to terrorists: ditch the turban and don a cape. Apparently no one's looking for superheroes.
