To an Arizona middle school, Batman! Three schools in the north Phoenix suburb of Cave Creek were on lockdown for about 45 minutes Wednesday morning after a student at Desert Arroyo Middle School reported seeing a person dressed as Batman run across campus, jump a fence and disappear into the desert, Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark said.The student described the person as 6 feet 3 inches tall and possibly male."We're assuming it was male, although they did have a mask on," Clark said.Officers combed the desert around the middle school. A nearby elementary school and high school also were on lockdown as officers sought the caped crusader. The result - no Batman."It's just one of those interesting little stories that we looked into but we couldn't find anyone," Clark said.Nedda Shafir, a spokeswoman for the Cave Creek Unified School District, said putting all the schools on lockdown was a precautionary measure. "We didn't want to take any chances," Shafir said. "We just don't want to put anyone at risk."

Ha Ha Ha..........I thought Batman is a hero not a vilin...........

Look out Batman!

quick robin! pull out the lawsuit repellent!

why do you lock down schools when you see a guy dressed like that,lol,actually,he is supposed to be a villian in the first one

Thats just stupid, why lock down schools because of someone running around wearing a costume??

What were they affraid of?

I think they were worried for the dafely of the children. People running around elementary schools in full costume including a mask that obscures their face certainly will raise an eyebrow. Its an odd thing for an adult to do.

I'd do it. Batman's my favorite classical comicbook/cartoon hero.
But I'd rather dress as the Green Power Ranger... Or a Pirate.

When my Goddaughter attended preschool a man came & knocked on the door of the building they were in. It was a separate little house on the main road and infront of the Catholic School it' was part. The teacher didn't open the door but asked what he wanted...he said he was there to apply for a teaching job. She told the man that he needed to go to the school office and speak to someone there. As he walked back to his car she looked out the window to see he was an older man dressed in a pink tutu & a diaper!
The police pulled the guy over & in back seat was loaded with used diapers! You do have to be careful these days!!!!

Haha thats rather stupid....Anyway, I thought batman was a hero, not a villan!:P

My god, what is the world coming to. Though it would be funny if u see someone dressed like a superhero running across a school campus.

Why lock down the school because of Batman? Hes supposed to be a hero.

Bats, what are you doing???

Guess he got a little tiny bit confused. Hahaha.

Damn... Most of the good jokes were already taken...

Though you know, could have been some kid skipping school in the costume. You know how boring school gets, probably thought to lighten things up a bit.

*Snickers* Either that or Bat's moved to a warmer local. I know I would if I could.

Nana nana nanana nana nana nanana Batman! *Batman swirly logo* "Holy out of place Batman!"

That's nothing! Our school was on Code Red for 3 hours when we spotted Barney.

lolol-omg
makes you wonder how someone in a batsuit got away so easy....(by changing back into regular clothes maybe?)

my school wouldn't close if Superman were rampaging

Superman's response to the incident.
