A simple, unequivocal statement released from Montgomery County police officers reads as follows: “Yes, Batman was stopped by officers on Wednesday, March 21, on southbound Route 29 at Prelude Drive, Silver Springs, for no tags on Batmobile.”

That’s right, Batman. Police officers in the state of Maryland pulled over the Dark Knight himself in his ‘Batmobile’ because he didn’t have any licence plates visible.

Spurred on by the notion that he’s the hero Maryland deserves, but not the one it needs right now, the officers hunted down ‘Batman’ and then posted these pictures on the force’s official Facebook page to show even costumed vigilantes need to display registration plates properly.

But of course, you know it’s not really Batman, because a) he’s driving a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (not an Aventador or DeltaWing) and b) Batman would never get caught. Ever.
