For the last six years in Burnsville, North Carolina, a local man has been dressing as Batman and doing acts of good.
Burnsville Batman has been helping to feed homeless people, cleaning up graffiti, driving people home from the bar, and even helping with the western NC cleanup after Helene.
Naturally, we had to talk to him.
This is “3 dumb questions and 1 smart one” with Cardinal & Pine’s Billy Ball Explains NC. We ask Batman which Marvel character he’d be, what’s up with Robin’s costume, and what do folks in western NC need right now.
Billy Ball Explains NC is a weekly conversation about North Carolina politics, culture, and news, led by Cardinal & Pine Senior Newsletter Editor Billy Ball. Make sure to like and subscribe to @cardinalandpine on YouTube so you never miss an episode.
