La Plata has a hero.

He wears a cape, a mask, his true identity is unknown and he helps the weakest.

In fact, he is Batman, the

Solidarity Batman of the Children's Hospital of La Plata

.

In recent days, our native batman was assaulted when leaving the place where he makes children happy and surprised with his reflections on social networks.

The one who suffered the robbery was "Bruno Díaz", as the character who was named Outstanding Citizen of the City of La Plata is called when he is walking in civilian clothes.

And in dialogue with

Clarín he

told what happened.

"Guy 11 left the hospital and, when I was walking down the sidewalk, a 15 or 16-year-old boy yelled

'give me your cell phone because I shot you

.

'

in a little motorcycle and he began to ask me for the camperón, also threatening to shoot me, "the story began.

It was on another journey like the ones he has been carrying out

for more than eight years

, when he began to cover his face with the mask to discover the smiles of children who must face their illnesses.

"

A 92-year-old grandmother

wrote to me and told me that she wanted to give me 100,000 pesos in hand for what the hospital needed. As I do not usually receive money in hand, I find out at the hospital what is needed for the person to buy it and deliver it together. We ask for two notebooks so that the boys who are interned do not miss school. We took it with the lady and with the mother superior we met to establish the best way to safeguard the computers ", said Batman the reason for his visit of that tomorrow to the establishment.

Already in a message through his social networks, the masked man had made it very clear who he blamed for the insecurity in the Buenos Aires capital.

And also that he

does not blame the adolescents who assaulted him

, but the system that gave them no choice.

"Let us never cease to be very clear about who are

the ones who truly condemned us to have to live like

this

today

, in this way. They condemned us to no longer even being able to walk quietly along a sidewalk at the morning, with a camperón and a cell phone ... and hundreds of adolescents were condemned to choose to take drugs, or to go out with a gun to steal and kill or die, instead of studying or getting a decent job, "he said from his account of Facebook.

In that same text, he said that several people had reacted to the news by telling him that the solution is to

leave the country

, but Batman, as a good superhero, prefers to stay in his land to try to improve it.

"I can't even imagine living in another country other than this. It would be the greatest pain if a son of mine told me that he wants to leave the country. People who tell you that they want to leave, or that they left, or are thinking in leaving, they are worthwhile people. And you say

'Why do we have to go?'

We do not have to leave the country in the hands of those who should leave, or at least change, "he analyzed.

And he added in this regard: "The most serious problem we have is that it does not matter: the one who does things well and the one who doesn't, the honest and the scoundrel, the responsible and the irresponsible, the one who makes an effort and the one who doesn't. … It even seems that

everything is made easier for the one who goes the wrong way

than for the one who goes the right way. "

The solution, according to this great fighter from La Plata, can only come with the work of

"everyone from the place that corresponds to each one

.

"

"We do not have to just sit around demanding that those who have the obligation and pay them for that, and they apply for that. If I work in an office and I work a ream of sheets, then if I were a deputy I would take the envelope.

Each one he is corrupt at his level

. We have to start changing everyone. I see him in the hospital. It cannot be that part of the staff steals the supplies, or that new sheets cannot be left because the same staff steals them. There is nothing that it has not collapsed or discredited. Even the police… the doctors, the teachers, everything…. Everything was distorted, "he lamented.

For Batman,

"politics is the greatest opportunity that someone has to do something for others"

, although "then there is knowing how to use it and use it correctly or not."

"Politics is not bad, what is bad is the majority of the people who occupy the positions.

Several times they have wanted to hang on my cape

, like when Moria Casán said that they wanted to hang on the lolas. But never in these I allowed it for more than eight years. Just as I take great care of the identity of the person who is inside the suit, I take great care to expose the character to whoever wants to get revenue, "he clarified.

In addition, he explained why he chose Batman as a character to face his solidarity actions: "I have a lot of respect for the Batman character. I did not choose him by chance. I saw the (Christopher) Nolan trilogy and, when I saw Batman begin, I saw that

Bruce Wayne decided to be Batman because he found everything corrupted and he needed to do justice

, he helped justice by looking for the honest people around him to put together his work team. I do not seek to exterminate crime, but my way of doing justice is to be at the side of those people who go through the worst thing that can happen to them, which is having a child without health. "

"With what happened to me about the theft, they have written to me from all the provinces. I am surprised with the magnitude of this. Yesterday I was talking about it with

the 'Robins'

, who are my work group, twelve wonderful people who accompany me in this because I just can't do it. We talked about how tremendous the magnitude of this is, because whatever the character does or says has an important impact. It's beautiful, "he said.

Anonymous heroism by boys

The

beginning of the tasks of the Solidarity Batman

has nothing to envy in drama to the genesis of his comics colleague.

“It is a work that I have been doing for more than eight years at the Children's Hospital of La Plata.

The day of the great flood we suffered was the first time Batman visited the hospital.

I went in when it started to rain and I came out with the water up to my waist

, it was quite a baptism.

From that day on, every Friday I go through the rooms handing out drawings and colored pencils, "said the masked man with social sensitivity who only stopped his visits when the pandemic prevented him.

But the coronavirus not only complicated those tours of the rooms of the boys who continue to wait for it with the same desire.

It also complicated

fundraising

for solidarity actions.

"The only possibility we had of raising funds to carry out the works that we are doing in the hospital was through the

Batiencuentros

, which are two show dinners that we did twice a year, in May and in November. There everything is lung, ad honorem From the artists, the place, which is the gymnasium of a private school, the service, the food, the drink. Everything is a donation from the people. At the first Bat-meeting there were 70 people, and at the last, before the pandemic, there were 700 people, "he said.

That growth, according to Batman in his talk with

Clarín

, "shows the magnitude that this has taken, the need for people to trust something or someone who does not disappoint them, who really guarantees that things will go where they have to go and what has to be done will be done with the money. That is Batman's role: to be

the bridge between the people who donate and those who need

. "

However, this Batman doesn't work alone.

He even managed to finance part of the works thanks to the help that

another

Argentine

hero

gave him before his departure

: Diego Maradona.

"First it was Maradona's t-shirt, which we had autographed. We held an auction. Later, they donated a motorcycle to me. Crazy, to achieve

such confidence to the extreme that they donate a motorcycle to you

, or the lady who donated 100,000 pesos ... these people They have no idea who is inside the suit. It is the biggest backpack and the biggest responsibility that I have to take care of, "he was moved.

How Batman Helps and How to Help Him

Batman is responsible for

a titanic job

to help both the Children's Hospital of La Plata and to bring smiles to the boys who remain hospitalized there.

Thus, the man under the suit told in the first person what was the latest madness designed to make children live

a glorious day

.

"Batman obviously has his Batmobile. And I also made the Batcave in the garage of a relative's house. It looked very nice. That was created with the aim of having the sister make a list of the brave who undergo long and harsh treatments .

Batman picks them up in the Batmobile and takes them to see the Batcave

. They help me solve different situations. That had a spectacular effect. It occurred to me when I saw what he generated with just a voice message, when I couldn't go to them. visit, "he commented.

Then, he highlighted: "Imagine what it is like for Batman to pick them up in the Batmobile to take them to see the Batcave.

They allow themselves to be drawn with a knitting needle without a tear after that

."

On the other hand, there are the concrete and material works in the hospital: two abandoned courtyards were repainted and transformed into a mini-city for karting;

two other abandoned courtyards were refurbished;

A room was set as if it were an aquarium and another patio like a jungle;

and murals were painted 50 meters from the front of the establishment to honor all health personnel.

"Batman Solidario is

the fullest proof of what Argentines can do when we put differences aside

, here there is no fanaticism, here no one asks if you are macrista or Kirchnerist, from Boca or River, Students or Gymnastics. We only have A common goal, of good people. Each one takes part as best he can, either with material things, his trade or his time. At a time when we refurbished rooms to new, at 11 at night there were people passing cables or changing one tap, because out there they could not collaborate with material things, but with their trades and jobs, "he concluded.
