A Singaporean man with an unusual superhero-like name turned out to
be a villain who consumed drugs and stole from his brother.
Batman bin Suparman,
which means Batman son of Suparman in the Malay language, was
jailed on Monday for two years and nine months for various offences
including stealing his brother's automated teller machine card to
make withdrawals, media reported.
The 23-year-old unemployed man had also broken into the
office of a firm in western Singapore to steal money and taken
heroin.
Batman, who has his own fan
club on Facebook, became a social media sensation after an
image of his identity card with his unusual name was circulated
online.
