Ireland’s famous Superman/kitman is raging because he lost his cape in Coppers

Nightmare

Darragh Murphy

How on earth is Dick Redmond going to save the world now?

The Republic of Ireland kitman skyrocketed to Justin Bieber levels of superstardom after being pictured celebrating Ireland’s historic play-off victory over Bosnia by dressing up as Superman.

But the all-round gas man misplaced his cape, the vital part of the costume, while partying the night away in Copper Face Jacks.

“I was just having a few beers and relaxing after the game having just qualified for France,” Redmond told RTÉ Radio 1′s Liveline on Wednesday.

“I put it on the bar and somebody has taken it off the bar or moved it. It’s gone anyway.”

We don’t know if this is some sick attempt from Lex Luthor to rob Dick of his powers or just an excitable supporter but we don’t appreciate it one bit.

It just means that Dick will have to get more inventive with his costume choice next time around but hopefully he doesn’t revert to the Borat-style mankini that Darren Randolph revealed he once sported.
