Who Is The Route 29 Batman?

· ·

There was an unusual story last week about police pulling over Batman on Route 29 in Silver Spring, Maryland. When I first heard the story, I thought it was simply a rich guy living out a fantasy in a Lamborghini.

Michael Rosenwald offers a follow-up on the identity of the Dark Knight:

The Caped Crusader is a businessman from Baltimore County who visits sick children in hospitals, handing out Batman paraphernalia to up-and-coming superheros who first need to beat cancer and other wretched diseases.

In a world where news favors perpetual negativity, I am not ashamed to say this story melted my heart. If your faith in humanity needs renewal - if only for a brief time - read about the Route 29 Batman.
