Police in Three Rivers, Michigan, US, have arrested a man who they say tried to steal posters and other Batman-related items from a cinema lobby while dressed up as the Joker.


Detective Mike Mohney said he expects 20-year-old Spencer Taylor to be charged with theft and destruction of property.

Mohney says police officers were sent to the Three Rivers 6 Theater. When they arrived they found employees restraining a man wearing a purple suit, a green wig and face paint in the style of Batman’s enemy in The Dark Knight.

The movie has kept up its record-breaking pace, pushing its total receipts since opening to US$313.8 million (NT$9.5 billion) at the end of its second weekend.

In the sequel to Batman Begins, Batman considers giving up crime-fighting as Gotham is terrorized by the Joker, played by Heath Ledger. Ledger died in January of an accidental overdose of medicine.

美國密西根州三河市的警方逮捕了一名男子。警方表示,這名扮成「小丑」模樣的男子,想偷走一家戲院大廳裡的蝙蝠俠電影海報及其他週邊商品。

麥可.莫尼警探表示,二十歲的史賓賽.泰勒應會被依偷竊及破壞他人財產等罪名起訴。

莫尼說,警方獲報後便前往三河市的六號戲院;他們抵達戲院時,看到戲院員工制伏一名身穿紫色西裝、頭戴綠色假髮且臉上塗上彩妝的男子,他的造型宛若電影《黑暗騎士》中蝙蝠俠的死對頭「小丑」。

這部電影持續刷新賣座紀錄,上映兩週就創下三億一千三百八十萬美元的票房收入。

《黑暗騎士》是《蝙蝠俠:開戰時刻》的續集,劇中高譚市籠罩在「小丑」的威脅下,蝙蝠俠一度考慮放棄打擊犯罪;劇中飾演「小丑」的影星希斯•萊傑今年一月才因用藥過量意外身亡。
