'Batman' who visited children in hospitals killed when car hits Batmobile

Lenny B. Robinson, the Good Samaritan who visited children in hospitals dressed as Batman and entered the public spotlight after police pulled him over in costume, died Sunday after a car hit his custom Batmobile on a Maryland interstate.

Medical personnel pronounced Robinson, 51, dead at the scene, Hagerstown State Police said in a statement.

His custom Lamborghini broke down while he was driving east on I-70 in the fast lane. He got out to check the engine while still in the lane, and a Toyota Camry struck his car, which in turn hit him, the statement said.

The Camry driver was not injured, the police statement said.

Robinson became a household name in 2012, after police dashcam footage captured him getting out of his Batmobile in full costume during a traffic stop on route 29 in Silver Spring, Maryland. The video went viral after the Montgomery County Police Department shared it on social media, earning Robinson the moniker "route 29 Batman."

In a statement Monday, the department said it was "saddened" by the news of Robinson's death.

"The footage depicted a positive and humorous interaction between officers and Robinson. It was evident that the officers and Robinson had a mutual respect for each other and the job that each was trying to accomplish that day," the statement said.

"Robinson was not much for attention and wanted to remain low-key as news reports of his interaction with MCP hit national and international news. When we replay the traffic-stop video, we smile and laugh, fondly remembering the day that MCP met a real superhero."

On top of the cost of his Batmobile and Caped Crusader suit, Robinson said, he spent tens of thousands of dollars each year on coloring books, sunglasses and other gifts for children he visited in hospitals across Washington and Maryland.

But he never wanted the story to be about him or his gadgets: "It was about coming here for the kids," he said in 2012.

"It's rewarding in a completely different way, just making that child smile. If I only touch one kid out of all this, then I know I've done really something really successful."

And yet, Robinson became a viral video sensation after police pulled him over while he was on his way to a hospital visit. The dashboard camera in the Montgomery County police cruiser caught the entire scene, including the officer calling for back up.

"You can send me Robin if you wish," the officer snickered to the dispatcher before asking the driver, "What's your name other than Batman?"

The police pulled over Robinson's car because instead of a Maryland license plate, he had the Batman logo. Robinson liked his outfit and car to look just right when he visited hospitals to cheer up terminally ill children.

When police saw that the official license plate was inside the car, Robinson was on his way to both the hospital and Internet stardom. For months, whenever he showed up a at a hospital or charity event, cameras followed.

The benefits were clear to those who worked with Robinson.

"Some of these kids recognize that this is not Batman, but in their head it is, and this is a great thing for them," Dr. Joseph M. Wiley said in 2012 during one of Robinson's visits to Baltimore's Sinai Hospital.

"It is absolutely clear to those of us in the field that attitude and play therapy and distraction help children overcome illnesses, so this is a big deal for all the kids who are here today."

Robinson began volunteering full-time in 2007 after selling an industrial cleaning business he started in high school. The business -- which cleaned office buildings, churches and synagogues -- was fulfilling, but being Batman and cheering up sick children was his calling, he said.

"You see what's going on. It has to be moving. Sometimes you're crying on the inside, but you're strong on the outside. These are the real superheroes. It's not me; it's not you. They're fighting for their lives every single day," he said.

"Remember, at the end of the day, ask yourself, 'Self, did I make a difference?' And the answer had better be yes."

Bangkok shrine bombing: Thai police hunt for suspect seen in video

Bangkok, Thailand (CNN)As investigators picked through the wreckage of the powerful bomb blast that brought death and destruction to a popular shrine in the Thai capital, suspicions focused on one man.

Thai police said Tuesday they are hunting for a suspect seen in CCTV footage who they believe may be connected to the bombing, which ripped through crowds gathered near the Erawan Shrine on Monday evening.

In one CCTV image released by police, the man is seen carrying a dark-colored backpack near the shrine. In another, he no longer has the backpack. He's wearing a yellow T-shirt and dark-framed glasses.

Royal Thai Police Commissioner Gen. Somyot Poompanmoung said authorities don't yet know the suspect's identity or whether he is a Thai citizen or a foreigner.

"We need more evidence before we can make any conclusions," he told reporters at a news conference, saying that police were studying more than 10 days' worth of CCTV footage from the area.

The shrine, situated at a bustling intersection near a large shopping mall, is a big draw for tourists. At least seven people from other Asian countries were reported to be among the dead. The site is popular among Buddhists, as well as Hindu and Sikh members of Thailand's Indian community.

"From this incident, it is apparent that there are active individuals or groups that harbor the intention to damage Thailand, who may be pursuing political gain or other intentions by damaging the economy and tourism," Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said.

The devastating blast struck around 7 p.m. Monday during a busy time in the area, sending a giant plume of smoke and flames into the air.

Bodies thrown, bikes mangled and a vibrant city on edge

'So many bones were broken;

"It was like this huge gust of wind and debris flying through you," recalled Sanjeev Vyas, a DJ from Mumbai, India, who was in the middle of the fray. "And then I see bodies everywhere, there are cars on fire, there are bikes everywhere. People are screaming."

22 photos: Explosion in Bangkok

Marko Cunningham, a paramedic for Bangkok Free Ambulance who arrived at the site soon after the explosion went off, said the scene was "absolutely horrific."

"I've seen a lot, but I've never seen injuries as vicious as these injuries," he told CNN, adding that "so many bones were broken."

Police spokesman Lt. Gen. Prawut Thavornsiri said the attack had killed at least 22 people. About 120 others are reported to have been wounded.

There has so far been no claim of responsibility for the attack. Thai authorities haven't made any announcements about who they believe might be behind it.

Somyot, the police chief, said cryptically on state-run TV that authorities had been warned about possible attacks, but they didn't know where or when they might occur.

Adding to the jitters, a new explosion was heard Tuesday at a pier on the Chao Praya River that flows through Bangkok, police told CNN. No injuries have been reported, and the pier has been closed, said Prawut, the police spokesman.

It was unclear whether the two blasts were connected in any way.

Scale of attack shocks observers

Analysts say it's unclear which group would want to carry out the shrine attack, which is likely to hurt Thailand's tourism industry, a key part of the economy.
