Sharing is Caring
Step away fake Hollywood superheroes whose superpowers are CGI – we have a real hero in town! They say that not all heroes wear capes, but this one happens to be wearing a cool one. What’s the coolest thing of all is that this superhero is fighting for those who don’t have a voice – animals left in the shelters. 27-year-old Chris Van Dorn has always been a fan of Batman but when he began volunteering for animal rescue organizations around Orlando, Florida, he decided to use this persona to bring attention to the importance of pet adoption.
Initially, Chris used the Batman costume in order to keep his superhero missions anonymous (such a classic superhero move!). However, the good deeds of the 27-year-old brought his identity into the limelight after GoFundMe announced him as their ‘Hero’ in May.
However we have collected this cool pictures of real superhero. Scroll down to check them!

Meet the real-life Batman who’s rescuing shelter animals
A 27-year-old animal lover, Chris Van Dorn, is hiding behind the hero mask
His Batmobile used for these rescue missions is a humble Honda Accord
But one day, Chris is hoping to upgrade his transport so that animal rescue missions could be more efficient
“I would help rescue animals in need any way I can”
Batman usually operates within a 500-mile radius of his home in Orlando, Florida
However, the superhero is willing to travel further to help those in need
Chris is helping raise awareness about shelter animals and encourages people to adopt rather than buy
But the 27-year-old remains humble about his good deeds
“It’s not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me”
