Florida Busts Batman Gone Bad!

Citizens of Florida can relax. The Sunshine State is safe once again, now that Orlando police have busted … Batman! No, this wasn't the Caped Crusader of movie and comic book fame, but a local man who police say disguised himself as the Dark Knight— as seen in video acquired by The National ENQUIRER — to pull off a string of armed robberies.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said Juan Carlos Nieves Morales was arrested shortly after knocking over I Love New York Pizza in Orlando Friday night. Authorities suspect Morales also robbed eight other commercial establishments in a reign of terror spanning Jan. 22 to Feb. 21. The Joker would be proud!

“This caped criminal’s string of violent armed robberies has come to an end thanks to hard work from our Robbery Squad and Night Investigations Squad,” the Sheriff’s Office posted on its Facebook page. “Evidence recovered from the I Love NY Pizza case led us to the 26-year-old suspect.”

Authorities said they found Morales in a nearby car — which definitely was not the Batmobile! “Morales is looking at armed robbery charges in at least 5 cases,” according to the post, but more charges could come as the investigation continues.
