From the Los Angeles Times "Only in LA" column:

7 October 1994

Where's Robin when you need him? The story, as we heard it, involves a husband and wife who recently decided to add a little excitement to their sex lives, somewhere north of Ventura Boulevard.

So one night, he tied her to their bed and left the room. Moments later, he barged through the door in a Batman costume, executed some karate kicks and began trampolining on the bed. Alas, he bounced up and hit his head on a ceiling fan. Luckily, the fixture was turned off. But he still managed to render himself unconscious. His wife's screams alerted the neighbors, who called police. They untied her and revived the Conked Crusader, who no doubt wished he could hide in one of the manholes of L.A.

12 October 1994

Maybe it resurfaces every Halloween: Then there was the recent Only in L.A. item about police responding to the screams of a Southland woman found tied to her bed. Her husband, clad in a Batman outfit, was unconscious. It turned out that the couple's try at a bit of kinky sex had come to an end when he conked his head on the ceiling fan.

We heard it from the reliable friend of a reliable friend who had heard it from. . . .

Well, David Mikkelson of the San Fernando Valley Folklore Society informs us that variations of that story can be found in "Baby Train," Jan Harold Brunvand's latest study of urban folk tales.

The Batman version cropped up in St. Louis as early as 1989, Brunvand writes in his book. And he found a version starring Superman in a book published in Merry Olde England in 1986.

"A delightful twist on the story," Brunvand adds, "has the woman rescue herself by dialing 911 with her big toe."
