Two Brits were left gobsmacked after getting stranded in a river – before being “rescued” by none other than Batman.
Rapper Antonio BandoMan couldn’t believe his eyes when a passer-by dressed as the caped crusader suddenly appeared to help.
The bizarre moment happened after the 29-year-old drove his red Mini Cooper into a river in Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds on 12 April.

The hilarious encounter quickly went viral online, racking up more than 490,000 views and over 97,000 likes.

“I was in my car driving through the river in Bourton-on-the-water.
