Batman terrorizes the Brits, and of course, the media blows it way out of proportion.

After five and a half hours, he removed his batman mask and agreed to come down. Police used a crane to extract him from the ledge as his supporters chanted "free Batman" from behind a police cordon.

The breach raised immediate questions about the state of security for the royal family and Britain's other governmental institutions at a time when British intelligence services continue to warn that London is a prime target for the Al Qaeda terrorist network and affiliated groups.
