Batman protest
Whatever one might make of the substance of their complaint or their choice of venue these rooftop protestors were wise to avoid Superman outfits as that would have been silly and unconvincing.
Two men dressed as Batman and Robin have climbed on to the roof of the Royal Courts of Justice to protest over the treatment of fathers in the family courts. Eddie Goldtooth and Jolly Stanesby, members of the pressure group Fathers for Justice, scaled the side of the court building in The Strand just after 4am.
Group spokesman Glen Poole said the men were calling themselves "the caped crusaders for justice".

Ick.
Could they have picked a creepier pair of costumes in which to address the issue of fatherhood?

Yes. While I don't find it that important, I would like to point out that Superman's sexuality has never truly been in doubt while Batman and Robin seem very close to at LEAST the bisexual marker.

Yes, yes, I agree these issues are not that important but I feel I should point out Superman has never had sex (and we all know why).

Agreed. This article is completely accurate but begs the question: Why do you have a link to it off hand?
Eyebrows have been raised.

It's Superman. I... I... can't stop thinking about him.
