In the movies, Gotham City police required a giant spotlight to find Batman.
Montgomery County police didn't have to go quite so far, finding him cruising around in a Lamborghini Wednesday in Silver Spring and pulling the unidentified man over for not having proper tags. The bizarre picture was posted to the department's official Twitter page today, followed by a note clarifying that the "Batmobile" wasn't towed.

Well, it is the People’s Republic of Maryland...
Well, I’m a Marvel guy, but I always try to give the Dark Knight Detective props. After all, he’s not an illegal alien like Superman.
I was just in that area last week. Didn’t see Batman, though.
At least Superman learned English.
Is this 197?
According to the best available primary references, including Superman #53, the Kents discovered the infant Kal-El after his space-ship landed and was destroyed. The Kents took him to a home for foundlings, and they later legally adopted him from that home. He is as much a legal citizen as any other alien by birth adopted from outside the United States, whether from Russia, from one of the Stans, or from China. He's just not a natural born citizen, so he would not have been eligible for the White House back when the Constitution was followed.
You might get a kick out of this...
mermaid man and barnacle boy are pissed.
You know, with all the bad news we get every day, it’s fun to read a story like this.
I agree!!

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Much more impressive picture. Where’d you get it? Another link?
That he did, Captain. He learned enough English to renounce his US citizenship last year. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2712414/posts
But I’ll tell you what, the “Man of Steel” ain’t got nothin’, and I do mean nothin’, on any Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine. Kryptonite don’t mean squat to them.
Thank you for your service!

He’s not a US citizen anymore to the best of my knowledge.
The reboot in the 1980s John Byrne Man of Steel comic book made Kal-El a test tube baby that wasn’t actually born into he landed on Earth. He wanted to portray Krypton as cold and emotionally sterile, therefore reproduction had become a technological process. Although that dovetailed with the desire to make Superman a natural-born citizen.

Kal-El was not an infant sent from Krypton to Earth; rather, his fetus was placed in a “birthing matrix” equipped with a rocket engine and Jor-El’s experimental warp drive, with Kal-El gestating during the trip to Earth; once the rocket landed, Kal-El was fully “born” on Earth. This also made him “born” an American, a plot point that would be used in Armageddon 2001, a DC Comics storyline which explored possible futures, one of which featured Superman becoming President of the United States.[2]
I did. Darned if I can find it now though :) Pic is tagged img.gawkerassets.com
