Batman is usually busy fighting crime, but sometimes even the Caped Crusader gets pulled over, as was the case in Montgomery County, Md., recently.

Police stopped Baltimore-area businessman Lenny Robinson last week for not having proper licence plates on his "Batmobile." They released a dash-cam video of the encounter.

Robinson was on his way to Georgetown University Hospital in his black Lamborghini. He is known for entertaining sick children at local hospitals dressed as the crime-fighting character.
