What do you do if a couple of tipsy grown men in capes and skivvies show up at your door looking for a party?

If you’re a suspected drug offender and you happen to live in the U.K, you may as well just surrender, ’cause you’ve just been foiled by the Dynamic Duo. Seriously.

Two policemen dressed as Batman and Robin teamed up to conduct a sting operation of superheroic proportions in Weymouth, Dorset, The Daily Mail reports.

Apparently the pair pretended to be a couple of inebriated idiots looking for a costume party and knocked on the door of the suspect’s home.

When the occupants of the house saw the drunken duo and refused to answer, Batman and Robin made their way to the rear of the house, and seven uniformed officers came to the front door.

Thinking the cops were there to help, the occupants let them in to complain about the caped crusaders.

When the suspect got a sneaking suspicion that something was fishy, he bolted for the back door and was personally busted by Batman and his buddy.

"This was my first costumed acting experience," Sgt. Tony Smith said. "The Batman costume was quite comfortable and not too restricting. But it was difficult finding somewhere to put my CS spray. There was nowhere for the handcuffs, but then Batman does not need handcuffs."

The suspect was arrested and charged with a drug offense.

  2. But it was difficult finding somewhere to put my CS spray. There was nowhere for the handcuffs
    I guess he forgot his utility belt. Or maybe that slot was taken up by the shark repellent.

  5. In this country, most cops were blue suits and fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Different strokes for different folks. (Hey, all Justice League members are ok with me).

  10. “It’s who I am underneath, and what I do, that defines me.”
    That was an awesome line from “Batman Begins” and nicely delivered by Christian Bale!
    He made a Great Batman in that film!
