Man tries to steal cop's car, blames 'Batman', police say

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police say a man tried to carjack a plainclothes officer near filming for the latest Batman movie — and allegedly told him it was part of the script.

Detective Robert DiGiacomo was in an unmarked vehicle around 7:15 p.m. Saturday, looking for a suspect in an assault. That's when police say a man opened the car door, sat down and told the officer to get out.

The officer drew his gun and ordered the suspect, 21-year-old Micah Calamosca, out of the car. He says the suspect told him he was part of filming for "The Dark Knight Rises" and that taking the vehicle was in the script.

Calamosco was taken into custody and faces a charge of robbery of a motor vehicle. It's unclear if he has an attorney.

Don't be a joker with the police

[Ultra Lantern]

The guy had bats in his belfry.Nothing to Joke about.

 

[The Apocalypse]

This is what happens when you have no prep time.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

Tell everyone in the bat forums.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I guess this guy figures his criminal record will be erased after Flashpoint.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Tell everyone in the bat forums.

it probably was someone from the batboards.

 

[John Locke]

The guy in the car was an undercover cop? I guess the carjacker experienced one of Nolan's twists first hand.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

its cinema verite maaaaan, everythings gotta be raw man, gotta be gritty and realistic ::hipster::

 

[Victarion]

Arguing about Bane's size/mask left him mentally unhinged, me thinks.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

That was kinda maybe a little bit on the corney a smig funny!

Don't listen to him. I got a good chuckle out of it

 

[E-Man]

They should have let Kane have his fun. He wasn't hurting anyone.

 

[Hotwire]

I hope he has enough to pay Bale!

I doubt he, Caine.

Once again, the only sane one in the room.

 

[chamber-music]

This dude was probably wearing hockey pads!

nah apparently his name is Micah...which is similar to the username of the infamous poster who told Ann Hathaway to lose "30 pounds" for her Catwoman role. hmmmm.

 

[Duke]

This guy is just plain batty.

Oh man you have no idea how loud I laughed at this. That's probably him. He was on his way to tell Anne not to eat lunch for the next 15 days.
