Lenny B. Robinson
Edit ProfileCareer
He gained fame in 2012 when a video of him being pulled over for an issue with a license plate went viral. On August 16, 2015, he was killed along Interstate 70 when his parked vehicle was struck by another motorist. Many prominent figures have shown support for Lenny"s philanthropic ventures as the Caped Crusader, including former Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Ray Lewis, musician John Mayer, and the official Batman Facebook page.
He befriended some of the Ravens" players and staff members as he often attended their charitable functions, especially if they were for children.
Lenny"s mission was "to entertain ill and terminally ill children by appearing to them as Batman and teaching them that just as Batman fights battles, no matter how hard or long their health battles may be, with strength of will and determination, there is always hope!" Lenny visited sick children in hospitals, handing out Batman paraphernalia to them, and was sure to sign every book, hat, T-shirt, and backpack he handed out "Batman". Some of the hospitals he visited included the Children"s National Medical Center, Sinai Hospital, and Georgetown University Hospital.
On August 16, 2015, Robinson was returning from a weekend festival in South Charleston, West Virginia when his Batmobile broke down on Interstate 70 near the community of Big Pool, Maryland. As he was checking the engine, a Toyota Camry struck his custom Batmobile from behind.
The Batmobile struck Robinson, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
A true living angel. Lenny Robinson will always remain in my heart #baltimorebatman."
Robinson"s funeral at Har Sinai Congregation in Owings Mills, Maryland, on August 19, 2015 was attended by hundreds. At the burial site, a black cover with the Dark Knight insignia was placed over Robinson"s casket where he was laid to rest.
