Thieves in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico are all asking one question: ¿Quién eres tú?
And the terrifying answer in the night is, ¡Yo soy, Batman!
According to authorities, a masked vigilante is swooping in, beating up bad guys, and leaving them gift wrapped for the cops to pick up.
The New York Post reports,
At least five men were discovered helplessly duct-taped to street poles over 10 days, beginning on June 13 in the area of Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco.
Many of the alleged thieves also had mustaches, cat whiskers and the Spanish word for 'thief' scrawled on their faces, according to several images.
Unfortunately, the police are treating the bad guys as the victims and are on the hunt for our would-be hero.
Police are treating the tied-up men as victims and are attempting to catch the vigilante, State Security Secretary Juan Pablo Hernández said, according to the outlet.
The men were able to be cut free from the posts and treated for their injuries. It's unclear if they are being investigated for the alleged thefts.
If the policía are that interested in fighting the caped cruzado, there are certainly a lot of pictures of Mexican Batman floating around online.
Here's a smattering:
And of course there's the Mexican Super Friends:
But seriously, isn't Mexican Batman just Zorro?
Let's not mix our masked vigilantes here!
