Mystery surrounds 'Batman of Sheffield'
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3711570/Mystery-surrounds-Batman-of-Sheffield.html

Dubbed the "Christmas crusader", the real-life superhero has been spotted lending a hand at a soup kitchen, charity job and children's hospital in Sheffield.

But despite his good works and charitable donations totalling £10,000, the Yorkshire Batman's identity is as mysterious as his Gotham City counterpart.

Batman helped stack shelves and man the tills at Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice charity shop in the city, where staff said that his presence sent takings through the roof.

"At first we thought he was a joker, but he turned out to be a true superhero," said one shop worker. "We're thinking of getting a Bat light installed so we can send him a signal whenever business is slow."

1. What a nice story
It's good to hear some good news now days considering all of the bad news that's out there.
