You may recall last May when I featured a story about Batman (Batman Has Let Himself Go) getting pinched for hanging from a local business and having a few assorted weapons on hand. Batman just got probation and is no longer allowed to wear costumes any longer. Looks like somebody else will have to answer the bat signal when Commissioner Gordon calls.

(CBS/AP) PETOSKEY, Mich. – Mark Williams, a man who was arrested after being spotted atop a building while wearing a Batman costume, was sentenced Monday to six months of probation, according to a report.

In addition, a judge told the 32-year-old Williams he's not allowed to wear costumes – including the Batman one he was wearing when Petoskey police picked him up in May, the Petoskey News-Review reports.

The Harbor Springs man earlier pleaded guilty to attempted resisting/obstructing an officer.

Williams said he was inspired by others who dress as super heroes to prevent crime and reach out to the homeless.

Officers in Petoskey, about 225 miles northwest of Detroit, also confiscated a baton-like weapon and a can of chemical irritant spray. Williams says he didn't intend to use them.
