Default RIP: Batman, struck by broken down batmobile hit by a Camry

He was one of the good guys. His batmoblie broke down often, always to make the local news wherever it happened.

Lots of sick kids will miss his visits.

Fitting that the batmobile was supposedly a converted Lamborghini.

Very sad RIP Mr. Robinson

His brother said he hopes more people are inspired by his late brother’s life to help sick children, but he knows nobody can step into that Batman costume.

“There will never,” he said, “be another Lenny Robinson.”
Perhaps not but there are plenty of Hero personas that could be chosen

Very sad, more sad to happen to such a good man dedicating his time and money to bring joy to the less fortunate/sick. I remember seeing a special on that guy and his Batmobile on some program, I think it was Motorweek.

Really a shame, I've seen the Batmobile around a few times as he lives in my area. The Batmobile wasn't a Lamborghini, he had a black Lambo he used as the "bat mobile" but a couple years ago he actually had a replica of the 1960s Batmobile made which was very cool.

Here's a picture of it:



I've driven down that stretch of road on I-70 coming back from the panhandle of WV or Deep Creek late at night many times. it is VERY dark, and quite empty...I can easily see how parked part ways in the fast lane he could be hit and killed.

Such a shame.
