A newlywed couple in Jordan quickly made headlines. The young woman claimed that her husband's obsession with Batman had made their marriage untenable. Allegedly, the man spent most of his day in costume, even asserting that he was on secret missions at night. The story rapidly spread across social media.
The man didn't just stop at donning a costume... He also replicated the character's speech patterns and facial expressions. It was reported that he monopolized the television, only allowing Batman-related content to be viewed. The woman expressed that at first, these behaviors seemed like a joke, but as the days progressed, they became increasingly serious.
She conveyed that her husband began identifying himself as the 'Savior of Gotham' and she started to believe that his connection to the real world was weakening. The fact that his daily life began to revolve entirely around this persona almost brought their communication as a couple to a complete standstill.
Upon entering the living room, she was met with the sight of her husband, standing fully dressed in a Batman costume. In the dimness, he was reported to be speaking in the character's movie-voice imitation, refusing to break character. The woman expressed that in that moment, she felt a genuine fear, realizing this was not a game.
Following this incident, she packed her belongings and retreated to her family's home. She stated that the experience had instilled a deep-seated anxiety within her, making it impossible for her to continue living under the same roof. From that night forward, she never returned to her husband's side.
The petition underscored that the spouse's behavior had shaken the foundation of the marriage and obliterated the atmosphere of trust. It is anticipated that the court will set a hearing date in the coming days to hear from both parties.
The incident quickly garnered significant attention on social media. Thousands of users met the unfolding events with astonishment.
