HOLLYWOOD -- Batman, Superman, Shrek and a host of other costumed super heroes and cartoon characters have been given the boot from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After receiving scores of complaints, the L.A. City Council has voted to ban the cartoon character business from Hollywood Blvd.

According to LAPD officials, tourists and other visitors to Hollywood Blvd in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater complained of being accosted by over zealous costumed movie characters who pestered them for tips for having pictures taken with them.

Over the weekend, LAPD officers conducted a code enforcement detail on Hollywood Blvd regarding tips for service and operating without a business permit.

Approximately 8 of the costumed were arrested. Others were cited and told to leave the area.

LAPD says they will continue to enforce the City Council's ban of costumed characters on Hollywood Blvd when they have the resources available.

Theres a documentary about them called: Confessions of a Super Hero

Theyre basically panhandlers with costumes and are not employees or related to the Manns Chinese theater.

Superman is a wanna be actor, son of a former actress that no one believes.
Batman has a dark past and has eluded to killing a man
Wonder Woman has daddy and low self esteem issues
Hulk is just trying to pay the rent...

Siccness wouldnt let me embedd it but check it out on Hulu here...

I watched the documentary about these people. It was pretty good actually.

I'd recommend checking it out especially if you've seen them in person before.

I watched it last night & it was tight IMO. Wonder Woman is fuckin' bomb though for real. She has some ass & nice legs to go with it!

That Batman / George Clooney look alike was a sav though. He was talking shit in the costume looking for some shit LOL!

Superman was real sensitive & the Hulk was the most real about it.
