Batman Promises to Keep People Safe from Killer Clowns

2016 you are strange

We couldn’t make this up.

People are living real-life nightmares with the prospect of sinister, weapon-wielding, clowns popping up everywhere. Teachers have issued warnings to kids and police are investigating the sightings.

It’s gotten so bad that Batman has gotten involved to protect the local schoolchildren of Whitehaven, Cumbria.

Batman is not actually a vigilante. He was sent out by a local costume company, Cumbria Superheroes, to reassure children.

A mom shared the above letter on Facebook thanking Batman for his intervention:

“Hi Batman my name is xxx.

I have been scared of this clown situation (school told us about it yesterday).. I seen on my mammy fb that u caught the clown this means I can go to school and not be scared thank you for your efforts… my mam says you might be at whitehaven xmas light switch on… do u have a bat mobile… I hope your their so I can see you and your mobile.
