Route 29 Batman is killed after his Batmobile breaks down along a Md. highway

The Batmobile pulled into a gas station Sunday night and, as usual, the children who spotted it gawked.

Lenny B. Robinson was used to that. The Maryland man, better known as the Route 29 Batman, had for years dressed as the Caped Crusader and driven his custom-made car to deliver moments of happiness and distraction to hundreds of sick children at area hospitals.

His costume stored in the Batmobile but his alter ego never entirely switched off, Robinson gave the kids at the gas station some superhero paraphernalia before driving off.

Minutes later, Robinson pulled over with engine trouble on an unlit stretch of Interstate 70 near Hagerstown, Md., police said. The people he had just met parked behind him, turning their emergency lights on.

His car was stopped in the median but still “partially in the fast lane” when he got out to check the engine, according to state police. Around 10:30 p.m., a Toyota Camry slammed into the Batmobile, propelling the steel-framed hunk of black metal into his body. Robinson, 51, died at the scene.

The crash is still under investigation, and no charges have been filed. The driver of the Camry, who was not injured, declined to comment.

Obligatory "I guess he thought it was a drive thru" comment.

Stick him in a Lazarus pit and he'll be fine.

I guess he was given permission to die.

Should've patched the autopilot.

Seriously, RIP

Which is why I didn't post it. Plus she ruined everything.

Everytime someone dies from now on - her tits will not make it better.

Selfish banana split.
