Introducing 'Mexican Batman'...

Gotta love that play on words on the lead-in to the headline, huh? The Sun repored today about a mysterious vigilante who's been dubbed “Mexican Batman” after chasing down suspected motorbike thieves and duct taping them to lampposts.

At least five men have been found bound to street poles with their mouths taped and the word “thief” scribbled across their faces in the past two weeks.

An unidentified local has taken drastic measures against a huge spike in bike thefts in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, by ruthlessly attacking a string of people. Photos show the alleged thieves strapped to street poles with huge amounts of tape around their arms and bodies. Several had “ratero” scrawled across their forehead in marker pen, which means thief in Spanish.

So-called Mexican Batman also drew moustaches and cat whiskers on the men as his supposed calling card.
