The crime alert came in early Wednesday morning, and a man in a Batman onesie jumped out of bed and set out in the dark to look for the prowler.

A few minutes later, he sneaked up on a suspect and grabbed his shirt and right wrist.

"If you try to do anything, you’re going to go to the floor,” the crime fighter recalled saying. "And it’s going to be painful.”

It wasn’t until the police arrived that Batman’s identity was revealed: Kyle Myvett, 47, a general contractor from Cape Coral, Florida.

Myvett was asleep in his black and yellow Batman pajamas when his wife awoke him; their security system alerted her that someone was in their driveway. While the suspect had fled by the time Myvett ran outside, Myvett roamed the neighborhood in his black Ram 2500 truck until he spotted the suspect, detained him and handed him over to the Cape Coral Police.
