The company Cumbria Superheroes is taking credit for his appearance, using the man in the Batman costume as a way to reassure the local children that they don’t have to worry about these “killer clowns.”
A photo shared on the BBC Cumbria Facebook page earlier this week showed someone dressed like Batman chasing one of these creepy clowns away.
However, don’t get your hopes up of this new Batman sticking around to fight anyone wearing question marks or wielding weaponized umbrellas.
It looks like they’ve been successful, as one kid wrote to “Batman” thanking him for catching that clown.
