The motivation for the theft of the Batman costume by a thong-wearing man baffles local cops.

No wonder he wanted to wear a mask.

A caped-crusader wannabe who stole a Batman costume from a shop in Australia, after he entered the store wearing just a thong, has been arrested.

The Bruce Wayne fan had strolled into the second-hand store in New South Wales wearing just a G-string.

The man then walked around in front of the store until police arrested him.

He then picked out a Batman costume, changed into it and left the shop, reports Metro

Then, instead of fighting crime, he strutted around outside the store where he was seen on security cameras.

“It was very unique. Most people will at least try to rob you with their clothes on, surely,” said the store owner Michelle Rowe.
