Does even Batman get parking fines in Lambeth?
3:41pm Tuesday 9th December 2008
At first glance it seems even the caped crusader himself could not escape the beady eye of Lambeth’s parking wardens when a parking ticket was slapped on to the windscreen of none other than the batmobile.
The supercar from blockbuster The Dark Knight was parked outside the GMTV studios in Waterloo to promote the DVD release of the Batman film.
However it turned out the ticket had been put on the windscreen by a prankster who had transferred it from another vehicle nearby.
A Lambeth spokesman said: "Even Batman has to park legally but this photo was a prank by a member of the public and no ticket was actually issued.
“There is no way one of our attendants would have issued a ticket.
"The car has not got a number plate."
