Leonard B. Robinson (September 28, 1963 – August 16, 2015) was an American charity worker who became known as the Baltimore Batman after dressing up as Batman and visiting children in Baltimore, Maryland-area hospitals. He gained fame in 2012 when a video of him being pulled over for an issue with a license plate went viral. On August 16, 2015, he was killed along Interstate 70 when his parked vehicle was struck by another motorist. Support for Robinson's philanthropy has come from former Super Bowl MVP Ray Lewis, musician John Mayer, and the official Batman Facebook page. Robinson was an avid Baltimore Ravens fan, and attended both of the Ravens' Super Bowls during the 2000 and 2012 seasons. He befriended some of the Ravens' players and staff members as he often attended their charitable functions, especially if they were for children.
