When evil clowns invade your neighborhood, there’s only one man with the skills and experience to properly handle the situation.

Batman. Obviously.

That’s exactly who came to the rescue when an invasion of creepy clowns began popping up in Cumbria, England, just like we’ve seen here in America. BBC reports that these mysterious monsters have scared a number of young children (plus a bunch of adults, probably).

Luckily, a man known only as Cumbria Superheroes did the most sensible thing possible: he put on his pitch-perfect Dark Knight Batsuit and hit the streets to dish out the kind of dark vengeance that would make Martha proud.

No, he’s not punching anyone… At least, as far as we know. Instead, he’s giving them a taste of their own medicine by scaring them off.   

“To all the little kids that’s been affected and scared by these clowns, you don’t have to worry anymore. Batman’s taking care of it,” he said in a video.

Cumbria’s Batman is already making a difference, giving the local kids a reason to feel a little safer. No word yet on how safe the clowns feel but honestly, we hope they chill out. No offense to anyone who has decided to become a professional clown, but Pennywise is not someone you want to run into after dark.
