A photo of Batman in action and a video surfaced of the British Caped Crusader telling kids it’s safe.
A group calling itself Cumbria Superheroes is behind the effort. According to The Telegraph, the group didn’t form to act as vigilantes so much as to reassure children there is nothing to be scared of concerning the clowns.
“As for you clowns, if you want to scare someone, why don’t you try and scare me,” the man dressed as Batman says in a video posted to Facebook.
There has been numerous issues with the sudden clown craze in America, which has resulted in multiple arrests and clown costumes being banned from some schools for Halloween.
