It looks like the citizens of Marseille, France’s second largest city, need a guardian. Of course they want the best. Batman. Residents of Marseille are fed up with the crime in the city. Gang crimes have escalated and the politicians are not doing anything.
So now they have created an online petition asking for the Caped Crusader to help them. A few thousand people have signed it and liked the accompanying Facebook page. Even though this is a mock petition, it sends the message they want. They are fed up and it is time for a change. The petition says that adding more police officers is just a band-aid that’s not curing anything.
Hopefully the city leaders get the message, because Batman is already too busy fighting crime in the U.S.
