When life gone crazy imitates art that imitates life gone crazy...things get crazy.
Police in Michigan have arrested a man who they say tried to steal posters and other items related to the new Batman movie from a cinema lobby while dressed up as the Joker.Detective Mike Mohney said Monday 20-year-old Spencer Taylor of Three Rivers has been booked for investigation of larceny and malicious destruction of property.
Taylor is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 5 in St. Joseph County District Court.
There is no telephone listing under his name in the Three Rivers area.
Mohney says officers who were dispatched early Sunday to the theater arrived to find employees restraining a man wearing a purple suit, a green wig and face paint in the style of Batman's nemesis in "The Dark Knight."

Normally I don't pull in highlighted images, but this one was essential to the story.

Such a sad, sad face. They should have just let him have the posters. He did go through the effort of getting dressed up and all.

I guess he thought they should have a better class of criminal?

Sometimes I miss working for a theater. I would've loved to see this happen.
