Batman Coming To CdA For Parade

Batman (Lennie B. Robinson) is shown with the Batmobile that he’ll drive in the Coeur d’Alene Fourth of July Parade Wednesday (above) and with a little girl (below). Robinson will also be in Coeur d’Alene to raise money for Children’s Village. (Courtesy photos)

Its first stop is Coeur d’Alene. That’s not counting the gas stations between here and British Columbia, Canada, where Lenny B. Robinson had to stop his brand-new Batmobile on the drive over. That’s right,  Batmobile, like in the movies - the recent ones, where props and costumes are otherworldly. Imagine that car, built by a Canadian familiar with the movie industry, at a roadside station somewhere in Washington off Interstate 5 on its way to the Lake City. Well, that’s exactly what happened Monday. “Everybody from everywhere is stopping to look at the car,” said Robinson, who has played Batman for hospitalized children over the last decade and recently added to his persona by purchasing a head-turning, state-of-the-movie Batmobile that’s pulling into Coeur d’Alene today. “It’s a work of art I’m proud to drive”/ Tom Hasslinger , Coeur d’Alene Press.
