Would realy love to see a documentary of this Batman. Seems like he would move more people then the Dark Knight.

Not me. I've seen far too much of a tendency in people to wish to pull down the "powerful" or "good" when they become too noticeable. The media seems to embrace this tendency by fishing for the dirt on people to make news.

This guy is doing a good thing for these kids. Even this article mentions that he has a checkered past. If he gets too much attention, I would bet money that some reporter is going to write up a sensational post about what a slimeball he is and that would tarnish and diminish the good work he is doing.

I don't want to hear about what a bad guy he is or was "in real life". That might mark me as a person happy with self delusion, but he isn't hurting people when he is doing this, he isn't likely to be in a position to easily hurt people. Unless he starts trying to monetize or otherwise make this something other than a simple act of charity, I'd rather keep him out of the harsh spotlight.

After some thoughts I came to the conclusion that I feel the same way as you do. But if the article is correct, it will be hard for the press not to talk about him if he will drive around in a real replica of the batmobile. Cheers
