NEW YORK, NY – Bat Boy rang in the New Year the only way he knows how: with good-natured mischief.
Continuing with tradition, Times Square hosted the annual New Year’s Eve ball drop, in which a time ball is lowered down a pole during the last minute of the year.
This year, the redesign of the ball doubled it’s size, making more than enough room for our favorite little mutant to take a ride!
Security noticed a dark figure clinging to the back of the ball around 11:51PM. They quietly attempted to get him down by using chocolate covered mosquitoes as bait, but Bat Boy was on a mission.
When the clock hit 11:59PM, the ball began it’s slow descent and Bat Boy scrambled onto the top. He raised his arms in triumph and sent high-pitched squeaks ringing across Times Square.
The cameras attempted to film only the lower-half of the ball to keep his victory pose out of the shot.
As the ball stopped and 2012 began, amid the chaos, confusion and confetti erupting through Times Square, Bat Boy was able to slip away, avoiding police apprehension.
The NYPD has not yet released a statement on whether they will issue a warrant for his arrest.
How long has Bat Boy been around? Shouldnt he be Bat Man by now, or is he like Peter Pan and cant grow up?
Wonders of technology!
