Artists Unknown, Images of Batman in Memory of Baltimore’s Batman

Lenny Robinson was often referred to as “Baltimore Batman,” for his act of dressing up as Batman, driving around in a blacked-out Lamborghini Gallardo “Batmobile” and visiting terminally ill children in hospitals.After selling his cleaning business, the Maryland native decided he wanted to help his community by putting smiles on children’s faces when they had little to smile about.

After seeing how donning a Batman suit cheered up his own ill son, Robinson decided that the best way to fulfill kids’ hero fantasies was to become Batman, offering rides in his Batmobile and putting on a show at local hospitals which he did for the last twelve years. Robinson visited sick children in hospitals, handing out Batman paraphernalia to them, signing every book, hat, t-shirt and backpack with the name “Batman”.

On August 16, 2015, robinson was returning from a weekend festival in West Virginian when his Batmobile broke down on Interstate 70 near the community of Big Pool, Maryland. As he was checking the engine, a Toyota Camry struck his custom Batmobile from behind. The Batmobile struck Robinson, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

A great man who gave his all for terminally ill children. Super Hero.
