Gotham's Dark Knight is now the hero of Sao Paolo, Brazil, as retired police officer Andre Luiz Pinheiro dons the iconic black mask, cape and armor of Batman to fight crime in the violence-ridden streets of Taubate.

Pinheiro, 50, is using the DC Comics character to raise awareness in the fight against drug trafficking in Brazil.
