No Joker: Vatican tweets about Batman movies by mistake

The Vatican sent out bizarre tweets about the Batman movie franchise this week, confusing the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics. Hackers were suspected, but the culprit was soon found: a non-native English speaker at the Vatican. The poster thought a Catholic News Service story about the movies (titled "Holy Switcheroo!") was important faith-related news. So it ran on a Vatican site and a tweet was sent out automatically. Perhaps the website administrator got couldn’t tell the difference between Batman and the new pope. For future reference: one wears an unusual costume, is shrouded in mystery and is seen by some as a crusader for justice and by others with a dark and dangerous past. The other is Batman. [Source]
