How did they know he was a Fake?

How did "the press" know he was a fake?

From the link:
A fake Batman has marched into Christchurch central police station demanding to know what emergency had triggered the "bat signal" - white light beaming through the sky.
The caped crusader, dressed in full superhero garb of mask, cape and tights, was insisting that the White Lights of Hope, which commemorate the earthquake anniversary, bear an uncanny resemblance to the bat signal.

Read on at the link to see how New Zealand police handled the matter.
(clue: New Zealand is a rather commonsense country, free from most of the red tape, the "blame somebody else" attitude, the nanny-ish guardrails around everything, & other restrictive rules that have come to blight society in most "developed" western nations)

Speaking of guardrails, have you noticed the proliferation of same in Queensland?
Any road is liable to be lined with them which is pretty drastic when there's nowhere to go if you break down or have someone heading for you with no brakes....

"Here, Bruce, I got this Batman costume on eBay, and I know just the trick with it. Free drinks all ev'nin says you won't walk into Christchurch police station in it."

OF course he's a fake. Batman never fights crime on the wrong side of the 23-degree line...

You mean Batman can't get insurance!
