US ‘Batman’ killed after Batmobile breaks down
“Last night we lost our good friend Lenny “Batman” Robinson”, Kamenetz wrote.
“What happened this weekend with Lenny, the Maryland Batman, and the moment that he had with Jacob”. Once they noticed him pull over, they did the identical and witnessed the 10:30 p.m. accident, state police stated. He was on his way home from a auto show when the accident occurred. Staff papered over the windows and doors but struggled to keep the mystery guest secret with his Batmobile parked outside. He probably said it best himself during a Q&A session with The Washington Post in 2012.
The man’s real name was Leonard B. Robinson, 51, the father of three adult children from Owings Mills, near Baltimore.
The crash is still under investigation, and no charges have been filed. The driver of the Camry was not injured and has not been charged.
Custer, an actor from North Bethesda, said he was always impressed watching Robinson work with children, talking to them in the Caped Crusader’s signature deep, gravelly voice.
“He touched a lot of lives and made a lot of kids smile”, his younger brother Scott Robinson said. “That’s all he wanted to do”.
Fourteen years ago the Baltimore native sold his cleaning business. He spent thousands of dollars on his Batmobile and the toys he gave out were always autographed “Batman“. Next is Georgetown Hospital, to then be immediately followed up visiting the National Rehabilitation Center of Washington DC.
In hospitals, he didn’t walk so much as stride.
He chose to wear the Batman costume because one of his sons, Brandon, was obsessed with the character.
He became known all over the Internet after he was pulled over by police in 2012 while driving his Lamborghini in his authentic Batman costume. But when he saw how other kids reacted, that’s when he found his objective.
“It was a hot day and that’s a heavy suit”, Lassen said. “We hope that the Dark Knight’s bright light shines on”.
“You don’t need superpowers to be Batman, do you understand that?” “He’s naturally a superhero”. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Superheroes for Kids at Sinai Hospital. Many thought he was the real deal.
Robinson worked with Hope for Henry, a Washington, D.C., organization which helps sick children. Batman was the star.
“However he referred to as me yearly on his birthday”, Strongin stated.
She cried all morning Monday. The group had simply completed producing a video about this system. It starts with a boy dressed as Batman. He has leukemia. He’s ready outdoors a hospital.
“He was magic”, Strongin stated.
When Robinson fired up his Lamborghini, he’d be dressed in a Batman costume. “Batman’s here”.
Robinson’s Facebook page has been filled with photos and uplifting stories from fans. “He just had a lovely spirit about him”.
Buckland didn’t stop there, and he gave the kids attending Dunbar Intermediate School an inspirational that all should look to. They go back to the bounce house, where Batman confronted the bully, and tells him, gentlemen don’t act that way.
