Default The Maryland Batman has died

I saw this article today, total bummer:

http://jalopnik.com/marylands-lambor...ash-1724543845

He pulled over and got out of his car after a breakdown and was hit by someone not paying attention on I70.

Be careful out there when/if your car breaks down.

So sad when bad things happen to good people. RIP Batman

I'm sure this is anecdotal, but I feel like I'm seeing an increased prevalence of idiot drivers in Toyotas, particularly Camry's (followed closely by Priuses).

Very sad to hear.

my neighbor bud is on vacay in NC with his family and his bro-in-law's family. they awoke to screaming the other day - turns out batman was the brother of his bro-in-law's wife and she got that call in middle of night or something. he said she was hysterical.

crazy sad.

Terrible. I'm not sure I'd change a flat on the side of the road anymore.

So it sounds like he was in costume when this happened after he had just visited someone. I wonder what will happened to it, and that car?

It just seems like maybe someone else should pick up the cape & cowl and carry on. I wish I had the means.

He does have some kids, 23 years old and 21 year old twins. I wouldn't be surprised if they took over
