Man who dressed up as Batman to visit sick kids killed in car accident

A Maryland man who dressed up as Batman to visit sick kids was struck by a car and killed after his batmobile-like black Lamborghini broke down on I-70 Sunday night.

Lenny B. Robinson, 51, was coming home from a car show when police said his Lamborghini had engine trouble, The Washington Post reported. Robinson got out of his car to inspect the vehicle when a truck hit the Lamborghini, which then hit Robinson.

Robinson, who said he became interested in Batman through his son, Brandon, freely gave his time – but also a whole lot more.

He estimated that he lost 5 to 6 pounds in water weight while sweating inside the Batman suit, The Post reported. Robinson bought the suit for $5,000 and spent $25,000 a year on Batman memorabilia he signed – as Batman, of course – for the kids.
