Batman certainly makes to the list of many people¡¯s most liked superheroes.?
He works alone, doesn¡¯t really have ¡®superpowers¡¯ so to say but? cool gadgets and equipment; he is basically aided by technology, is mysterious and a vigilante.?
However, it seems that in a city in Chile, Batman has turned into Robinhood, at least partially.?
Let me explain. A stranger disguises himself in Batman clothes and prowls the streets of Santiago to deliver food to the homeless. He has been providing sustenance and comfort to those in need, especially those hit hart by the coronavirus lockdown in the Chilean capital.
The man¡¯s Batman outfit is complete with a face mask(because coronavirus does not discriminate between superheroes and the common masses; and what example will a superhero be setting if he did not adhere to distancing measures?). He delivers a few dozen plates of hot food to homeless people throughout the South American capital, on a regular basis.
Who is he? Just like Batman he wishes to not be identified.?
¡°Look around you, see if you can dedicate a little time, a little food, a little shelter, a word sometimes of encouragement to those who need it,¡± he reportedly said. According to him his disguise is meant to bring good cheer.?
Coronavirus restrictions in Chile have severely impacted the country¡¯s economy. According to Reuters, unemployment there has skyrocketed to over 12%, breaking a decade-long record, and much of the capital Santiago continues to operate at half mast.
One of the recipients of the Batman¡¯s gesture, Simon Salvador, said the true sentiment behind the suit and the act was clear. ¡°It is appreciated...from one human to another,¡± Salvador reportedly said.

The images of the man¡¯s Batsuit show it to be shiny and pretty impressive. Also while this hero is literally wearing a cape not all heroes do so.?
People from various communities around the world are helping those who have been impacted badly by the coronavirus lockdown and restrictions. In the US for example, members of the Sikh community have been regularly organising langars or handing out food packages to the poor and the homeless, who do not have access to food. In fact, some members of the?Sikh community were also making pizza deliveries to hospitals and police stations for frontline workers.?
