When Munenori Kawasaki's baseball career is over, the popular utility man ought to consider taking his talents to Gotham City.

Even if his crime-fighting skills pale in comparison to Bruce Wayne - Kawasaki, after all, doesn't have much power - the 34-year-old still looked imposing in a caped crusader costume at a promotional event for the upcoming film, "Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice," which stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill as the titular heroes.

Without question, though, any reasonable person would entrust Kawasaki with ensuring their safety (and the safety of their loved ones) over Superman, who was portrayed at the event by soccer star Tomoaki Makino, a defender for the J-League's Urawa Red Diamonds.
