AIRPORT SECURITY: What’s your name?
PASSENGER: Batman.
AIRPORT SECURITY: Your real name, please.
PASSENGER: My name IS Batman.
AIRPORT SECURITY: Are you trying to be funny?! What’s your surname?
PASSENGER: Superman.
Airport security handcuffs him & puts him in a locked security facility.
Then they checked his passport…
I really hope this is true.
Thanks go out to Dave for sending me this.
C x
I saw this a while ago! I’d love to meet his mother..
ha awesome
I hope this is true too! I wonder if his brother Spiderman gets the exact same treatment…
now that is one good name
i hope this is true aswell
Blimey! LOLOLOL
nothing suprises me anymore, but just a thought if he is superman why is he taking the plane surely he could just fly there himself
I bet the poor guy can’t even order pizzas over the phone
Now THAT, I wouldn’t wish on anybody!
I hope for this reason, he redeems himself by saving people from fires and fighting off evil badguys like Phillis.
Wow! This has pretty much made my day
I want to meet this guy! According to his ID he’s only 2 years older than me!
xxx
Hahaha
this story is amazing.
What an amazing name
I wish i had a cool name. Mines pretty boring….
Why the hell does the lovechild of Batman and Superman need a bloody plane? If you could fly faster than a speeding bullet, wouldn’t you just save yourself the airfare?
BTW how does this work? Who does he become after jumping into a phonebox?
now you know what singaporeans are made of… Superheroes!
His face appeared innocent enough from his passport photo, BUT BY NIGHT…
Looks like he forgot to use a false name in his passport application:
“Right, Gas bill? – Clark Kent, Council tax? – Clark Kent, Passport….? Oh bugger.”
omg this is the funniest thing out! hehe x
getting more stupid yet funnier!!! love you guys xx
if that is true, then that is AWESOME O_O
Epic!:D
You’re not the only one hoping this is true, Coops!…
Not bad though where i am studying @ minute and i kid you not is a lad with the name (legally changed by deed poll)
LINK VAN DESTRANGE
he is on the enrolment system as that name as well and lecturers are always puzzled when they say his name
Poor soul!
Had me in stitches for a good 20 minutes and still got me chuckling
If it is true, What a name!
Have lived in Brazil and because there are not regulations in regards to naming you kid there was a few Bob Marley’s and a Bill Clinton in my school.
Love the fact that his middle name is Bin, like he’s tried being Superman but is now Batman!
Legend!
lol poor guy. This is brilliant
I kind of hope this is true but also hope my partner doesn’t find out otherwise we might have the kids name argument again. Although Care Bear von My Little Pony is quite cute for a girl ; )
Haha, nice one. Here’s a link explaining the story behind the name:

Coincidentally, one of the commenters has posted the same anecdote that you wrote at the beginning of this entry; only that one is dated March 13…
xD
Had a guy called Iceman in my work the other day. Not quite as exciting but made me do a double take. x
Anything to declare? Hmmm… laser vision, a utility belt packed with lethal weapons, the ability to punch through metal, I’m not surprised they didn’t let him on a plane, though I am surprised he went quietly.
Oh lord, please let this be true..
LOL! Oh, how i’d kill to have a name like that!
I actually want to be this child. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3369609/Teenager-changes-name-to-Captain-Fantastic.html Reminds me of this classic.
other singaporeans have pretty mundane names, trust me.
Cool! Although .. would someone have his pasport going around the world like this if it had been true?
Can be true though, the names overthere are quite different. In our country certain names are not allowed .. (Piet Lul enz), but you, brits and other fellow earthlings, would ofcourse not have known why.
We could check the dictionary for these words ofcourse … batman .. suparman ..
But I wont … had I been at a faster connection I might have checked, just out of curiosity.
Hm, batty boys .. who said that ?
Ah, heh, …Nothing wrong with names ending on ´man´
That is really funny, but something doesn’t look right about the text of his name, it just stands out a bit too much, i’m semi-convinced that it’s been photoshoped. I hope not hough
So that’s what he’s been up to, ahHAHAHhahahaHHAHAhahahAHhahhAAHhaha
Oh wow, this is so cool. I wish I had a cool name like his …
(by the way cookie is not my name … i wish it was though lol)
Genius!
aww poor guy!
really hope its true though, excellant name ; )
x
A friend of mine knew a bloke who changed his name officially to Monkeywrench Loadingbay! Which is very silly!
Amazing!!
Would’ve been ace if his middle name was Spider-Man. Spidey’s my fav!!
Hey this guy is 100% real! Mr.Suparman is one of my fellow collegues at Singapore Airlines…….
and its also funny he is a bit of a cross between bruce wayne and clarke kent
This is really ancient, must\’ve seen it about 3 years ago!
The ironic thing is, it never gets old!!
Hi very funny this reminds me of only fools and horses when they dressed up still laugh when i see it
Here Batman bin Suparman has something to say himself about ID cards:
http://gizmodo.com/376486/superhero-presents-strong-case-for-id-cards-as-states-get-real-id-extension
Well I met a Korean guy called ‘Bad Gurl Su’ so it’s probably true…
His mum or dad must have been a MASSIVE fan of DC comics
Well his name in Arabic characters is Btmn bn Sufrmin (no vowels) so it’s genuine but not as weird as all that. Note that there is no P in Arabic and F and P are interchangeable in parts of SE Asia, as I found during a fruitless conversation about a photocopy machine once (you sit there, I bring you cup of filtercoffee).
Huh, I wonder if there is some bully at his school named the joker, that only picks on this kid (=
I feel sorry for him though….
I totally believe it.
My father works in a consulate and has to deal with a lot of passports. He once had a man who was called, literally,’sixty-three’. It turned out he was given the name because he was born in 1963. Bemused, he ended up striking a friendship with this guy, until he could wait no longer and one day asked whether, by any chance, he had a younger sibling.
It turned out the poor man did. His sibling was six years younger.
