Man Dressed As Batman Is Chasing The 'Killer Clowns'

A 'killer clown' craze is sweeping the world - including New Zealand - with police warning people against dressing as clowns in order to intimidate or harm people.

But now the craze has become even stranger in Brittan, where a man is dressing as Batman and vowing to chase down the creepy clowns.

A photograph has been shared on Facebook of 'Batman' seemingly chasing off a killer clown.

BBC Cumbria reported local company Cumbria Superheroes is behind the effort to rid the streets of clowns.

They have reassured that the costumed man is not a vigilante, but just trying to reassure local children who are scared of the 'killer clowns'.
