The best part - the dude was trying to steal The Lego Batman Movie.

Officer Damon Cole, a patrol officer with the Fort Worth Police Department dresses up as super heroes in his spare time to visit children with cancer or other illnesses.

He just so happened to be at a neighborhood safety fair for children when he heard about the alleged theft of 4 DVD's. Cole decided to go ahead and take the call, even though he was dressed as Batman at the time.

After convincing the managers he was actually an off-duty police officer, he issued a citation to the suspect for theft under $100 and sent him on his way - not before the suspect asked to take a selfie with him. Don't blame him, really. I mean, it's not like you run into Batman every day.
