Donald Trump made good on his pledge to give free helicopter rides to children at the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, and he made at least one wonder if he hadn't met a superhero.
As 9-year-old William Bowman took off aboard Trump's Sikorsky S-76B with his last name emblazoned on the side, he
aimed his GoPro camera at the billionaire businessman and GOP presidential front-runner.
"Mr. Trump," William asked.
"Yes," Trump replied.
"Are you Batman?"
Replied Trump: "I am Batman."
The video wound up online, according to CNN, and the Facebook page for William's mother, Sarah, who rode along with two younger sons Sean and Brendan in tow, was filled with still photos of the ride along with a photo of all four of her sons wearing Batman T-shirts.
Dad David Bowman stayed safe on terra firma with 3-year-old Henry, who bolted the ride at the last minute.
