Spokeswoman says department is monitoring the Colorado shooting but "have no information to indicate that theater-goers in Baltimore County are at any risk."
UPDATE (3:16 p.m.)—The Baltimore County Police Department will not assign police to movie theaters this weekend in the wake of the shooting at the opening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, CO. Elise Armacost, in an email statement, said the department "is monitoring the developing case in Colorado and will continue to assess the likelihood of problems here in Baltimore County.

"You can send me Robin," officer told police dispatchers.
Even the Dark Knight (or the Caped Crusader, if you're a boomer) is bound by the traffic laws of Maryland. On March 21, Montgomery County Police pulled over a car driven by Batman for failing to display his license plate. The curious traffic stop made national as well as local news. Batman's true identity was soon revealed to be a Baltimore County businessman who visits children in hospitals to lift their spirits. Now police have released the video of Batman's traffic stop—a little ridiculous, mostly funny and a whole lot of endearing. "Batman's going to be stopping at Southbound 29 at Prelude [Drive in White Oak], and again no tags, it's just got the Batman seal on the vehicle. It's a black Lamborghini and a driver dressed as Batman," the…

Police had previously not disclosed the masked man’s name.
The Batman caught by police with a Batmobile with no tags recently near White Oak in Montgomery County has a name: Lenny B. Robinson, a resident of Owings Mills.

On the day he was pulled over in Montgomery County, his tags were in his car, and he was not ticketed, Rosenwald wrote. Robinson’s black Lamborghini has gotten him noticed before.

You've seen him here before.
Looks like Batman was caught breaking a traffic law near White Oak in Montgomery County Wednesday. He's no stranger to Howard County either, but his cause is apparently just. Montgomery County police pulled over a man dressed as the caped superhero as he was driving southbound on Route 29. The reason: his Batmobile didn't have any tags. According to WTOP, the man was driving to the hospital to visit sick children, when he was stopped by officers because his black Lamborghini was identified with the Batman symbol rather than the required state tags. In November 2011, Batman's muscle car got a flat tire in Howard County. After police cleared the vehicle, Batman posed for a snapshot. In the most recent case, Montgomery County police didn't …
