Say it ain't so, Batman! An unemployed Singaporean man was sentenced to almost three years in jail today, after failing badly to live up to his name—which is, we are not kidding, Batman bin Suparman. The 23-year-old was arrested in August, after security cameras spotted him breaking into a store on two separate nights and making off with about $400, the AFP reports. He pleaded guilty to a number of other crimes as well, including stealing about $520 using his brother's ATM card and consuming heroin. (More Batman bin Suparman stories.)
