His Batman costume was to be used for partying. It finally allowed him to play vigilante. On Saturday, in Norwich, United Kingdom, Sonni Mason, 25, a party-goer was celebrating a friend’s birthday, when he saw a man snatching a woman’s bag in front of a bar, reports the British press. Still disguised in his Batman costume, the young man set off in pursuit of the suspect through the city center. But his superhero operation didn’t stop there.
After tracking down the bag, Sonni Mason had to climb a wall near Norwich Cathedral to retrieve it. His Batman gear had limits, however: Sonni’s homemade grappling hook, made from a recycled toilet paper roll, wasn’t enough. He was finally able to reach the bag thanks to a helping hand from a friend.
Fortunately, his party companions were also dressed in the same theme: Mr Fantastic and Cyclops, two Marvel characters, as well as Poison Ivy, from the DC Comics universe, accompanied the Norwich Batman. Thanks to the intervention of Sonni Mason, the bag was finally recovered with all of its contents intact and returned to its owner.
