A man in a Batman-like costume says he was only trying to "inspire hope" when he donned a mask, cape, and body armor to greet customers outside a Home Depot. Instead, he scared the pants off some customers and brought on his arrest. And no, he wasn't a Home Depot employee. They probably would have gone with The Hulk. Matthew Argintar was actually dressed like "Beast," his superhero alter-ego. Witnesses say he was approaching families and saying, "Anyone need some help? I'm here to save the day." It sounds perfectly reasonable to me (I guess?) but apparently there was something "creepy" about his smile. Plus there was his Batman-like costume, coming just after The Dark Knight Rises shooting -- was he playing a sick joke?![]()
