Batman in NZ

Batman must be the most popular super hero in New Zealand. We saw so many kids dressed up like him, it really isn't funny. OK - it's funny enough to post.

We also saw posters and books, etc all over the place. Here is one example of him showing up in an odd location. The van pictured below is a standard Volkswagon camper bus/van which can be rented, and of course Batman is painted on the side. Maybe the image prevents theft??
