After taking a sly dig at everyone who forwards fake news on Whatsapp, in a Paatal Lok way, Mumbai Police put their creative skills to test yet again as they drew inspiration from Robert Pattinson's The Batman look to educate the masses about how to wear a mask correctly. Amid the coronavirus lockdown, the Mumbai Police took to Twitter to tell people about safety measures by sharing a photograph of Pattinson sporting a mask that does not cover his mouth and nose.
Therefore, the department used the photograph to drive home an important message that one should wear their face masks properly to prevent themselves from falling prey to the novel Coronavirus In addition to tweeting the photograph, they captioned it writing, "How not to wear a mask! " and used the hashtag #BATforsafetyMAN, displaying yet another example of their witty wordplay.

Soon after they shared the tweet, Twitterati could not hold back but use more Batman references in the comment section of Mumbai Police's tweet. While one user shared a picture of DC comics super-villain Bane wearing a mask in Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises' movie, another shared a photograph of the character Scorpian from the Mortal Kombat fighting game. According to several reports, the Bane mask has been in high demand among the masses as they want to sport a different look amid the pandemic because face masks have become increasingly important to wear at public places.
Several users also lauded the department's efforts while others continued sharing more memes on various kinds of masks. The Mumbai Police has time and again inculcated pop-culture and classic movie references to create awareness on safety by sharing memes and puns on social media. Twitterati also loves how the department is walking the extra mile to spread awareness in a creative way.
