Hello, Citizen

A 6-foot-tall, 275-pound bearded man crashed a children's birthday party in Oak Forest, identified himself as "vengeance," then helped himself to a piece of cake, police said.
[...]
When the owner of the home asked the man who he was, the intruder replied, "I am vengeance. I am the knight. I am Batman." Then the man went into the kitchen, cut a piece of birthday cake, took it into the living room and ate it.

I have come close to doing that so many times, but always chickened out at the last. No more will I live in fear.

Hopefully Vengeance/Batman isn't lactose intolerant. Or maybe that's the source of his first name...

And, also, I always thought Batman was saying, "I am the night", not "knight". But I admit this isn't important enough for there to be a right or wrong.

Man, why can't people like that ever crash my kids' birthday parties? I would have made him an honorary member of my family.

I always thought he was saying "night" too.

Then the matter is hereby settled.
