Default Batman killed when his Lambo breaks down

Batman died Sunday night when his Batmobile broke down on Interstate 70 near Hagerstown, Md.

Lenny Robinson, the 51-year-old Maryland man who drove a black Lamborghini and dressed as Batman to visit sick children in hospitals, was struck by a car as he looked under the hood of his Batmobile. He was coming home from a car show in West Virginia.

Sounded like a great guy.

Sucks when bad things happen to good people. We need more people like him.

Sounds like this guy was quite dedicated to the cause of helping sick children. I heard about his death on the radio last night, and they mentioned that he spent $25K of his own money per year on gifts to give the kids he visited. Terrible shame for this to happen to someone like him ...
