Batman Bids Farewell to Ukrainian Kids in Poland

Storyful

Batman has made a lot of young friends on his trip to Poland, where he’s spent almost two weeks meeting Ukrainian children who’ve had to flee their homes.

John Buckland, the Batman impersonator who’s made a splash with the kids, said this video was shot “on the final day” of a trip spent touring schools and shelters to meet Ukrainian refugees.

“Batman and Wonder Woman were surprised with a heartfelt farewell from the children and a large number of handmade thank you cards,” he said. “The children impacted us in ways that will last a lifetime.”
