Police say a 21-year-old man dressed as Superman attacked some motorists in Ann Arbor early Sunday.
A group of men stopped their car to talk to some friends outside an Ann Arbor home when the alleged attacker jumped out from behind some bushes and into the vehicle,
"I guess this young man jumped in the back seat of the victim's vehicle and just started hitting him and when the victim attempted to call using his cell phone, (Superman) grabbed the cell phone and he stomped on it," said Sgt. Angella Abrams, of the Ann Arbor Police Department.
The victims said when they got out of the car, people from the house party came toward the car, and a large street fight broke out, according to The Ann Arbor News.
No one was fighting when officers arrived, but two witnesses were able to show digital pictures they took of the alleged attacker, police told the paper.
Officers spotted the man in the crowd -- wearing a red spandex Superman costume -- and arrested him, the paper reported.
"He was in costume, and it was a pretty terrible Superman costume at that," said Mark Majewski, who witnessed the incident.
The motive for the attack was not known, according to police.
The identity of the man wearing the Superman costume was being withheld pending possible charges of assault and battery.
****In other news the Caped Crusader was seen with several women of questionable character....he was later seen swearing about where his money was and than struck one of the women.*****
Found him...snicker...
Red spandex?
Superman wears blue.
Captain Marvel and Budman wear red.
Given the setting and the actions of the suspect, I'd guess this duffus was in a Budman costume.

Clark is screwed!
It's good to see that Christopher Reeve has recovered but I never thought he'd begin his new life as a criminal....

Maybe this guy was just really excited that Bryan Singer has been signed to direct the new Superman movie.
I'm sorry!
It was the cellphones that made me do it!
I hate cellphones!
They're everywhwere!
I.. i.,.
Oh, wait, wasn't in Ann Arbor anytime recently..
Umm.. Ignore the above.
/ joke.
See, this is exactly why men shouldn't wear spandex.
"The identity of the man wearing the Superman costume was being withheld" cant they check with the Daily Planet?
If someone attacked me like this, I'd be laughing too hard to call the cops.
Superping.
"I got your kryptonite right here."
ROTFL!
Oh man.. did you at least get to look at taotao, anham98, and amorph before they got erased from all existence?
Yeah, he seemed pretty fixated on me for some reason.
He kept getting caught in inconsistencies.
Like he's 'going for his Masters Degree' and then he 'already had it', or he's '22', no wait '21'.
He has on epost remaining up.
Shows his ignorance rather well.
*sigh*
Moderator Agent 47 snuck up on it while it was otherwise occupied and garroted it.
As well as anham98 and amorph.
Ah, I see I need to dig out the box of '80s photos again!
Considering he's in Ann Arbor, I would say Nader.
Stop it!
