Maybe the crime you'd fight in the evenings would be your own school, for selling lessons to the kids...

I hate to think of the sort of person an ad like that might attract! Shocked

Shouldn't that be "Batman Man"? Very Happy

I also like Adanaman, it's fitting Turkey's superhero should be named after a kabob....

Or "Raki Man!" After a few glasses, he's convinced he can fly, speak English fluently, and is irresitable to women! He even thinks he looks sexy in those little tights!

Or there could be a whole gang of them - Menemen.
or maybe a partnet for Adanaman - Orta Boy.
