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.

It's sad a statement about poor health and diet when even the Caped Crusader has let himself go. Who can you turn to these days when even superheroes like Batman don't seem to be hitting the gym anymore. I haven't seen Superman in awhile but hopefully he still fits into his tights.
Detroit – A 31-year-old man dressed as the comic book Caped Crusader was arrested today in Petoskey after he was seen hanging from the top wall of a downtown business.
The Petoskey News-Review reports officers went up on the roof about 12:40 a.m. and pulled the 31-year-old man back onto the building.
Public Safety Director John Calabrese says he believes the man "enjoys doing this."
Officers confiscated a baton-like weapon, a can of chemical irritant spray and lead-lined gloves.
The Harbor Springs man is awaiting arraignment on charges of trespassing and possession of a dangerous weapon. He’s being held in the Emmet County jail.
You may have to scroll in with the + arrow on the top left side of the map for a nice surprise. Maybe you can see the pool. The damn thing didn't want to work a few times for me.
