Two men dressed as Batman and Robin have climbed on to the roof of the Royal Courts of Justice to protest over the treatment of fathers in the family courts.
Eddie Goldtooth and Jolly Stanesby, members of the pressure group Fathers for Justice, scaled the side of the court building in The Strand just after 4am.
Group spokesman Glen Poole said the men were calling themselves "the caped crusaders for justice".
He said they were hoping to draw attention to the group's campaign to ensure divorced fathers were given proper access to their children.
The men intend to remain on top of the Royal Courts of Justice for a week and had taken food, clothes and bedding with them, he added.
Mr Poole said the stunt was the start of a campaign by the group of "civil disobedience" against the court system across the UK.
A Scotland Yard spokesman confirmed that two men dressed as Batman and Robin were on the roof of the courts.
"We are monitoring the situation and trying to persuade them to come down," he said.
