Christopher Dennis, the man who suits up as The Man of Steel outside of Grauman's Chinese Theatre to sign autographs and pose for photos, has been thrown in the slammer.

Dennis appeared in the documentary "Confessions of a Superhero," directed by Matthew Ogens. The film showcased the lives of those who dress as superheroes for money. In it, Dennis was revealed to have countless amounts of Superman memorabilia.

On July 8, 2010, Dennis and another man dressed as The Caped Crusader, Batman, were arrested for passing out for a memorabilia shop fliers outside the theater.

Dennis said he was not competing with any shops and was simply doing the job he was hired for. "There were some tourists who asked for photos, and it would be rude to say no, so I posed and continued to walk," Dennis said.

Dennis estimated he posed for thirty to forty photographs right before being arrested. "I would pose for one, and another would come up," he said. "I made no mention of tips, but people were tipping anyway."

At approximately 3:25 p.m. PT, Dennis said, a police car drove up, and one of the officers ordered him to put the fliers on the car.

"Then they handcuffed us and took us to jail," Dennis said. "They charged me with loitering, but tell me this: If I'm loitering, aren't all the other tourists?"

Well, actually there was an article not long ago about this. Apparently, there was some kind of ordinance passed in Los Angeles that directly addressed the people dressed as costumed characters. After a series of complaints, they were advised that if they were seen taking pictures and accepting money on the streets, they would be arrested for loitering. Which is total BULLSHIT and is clearly discriminatory to all people that make a living this way. Now whether or not you agree with their choice for making a living, or if whether or not they serve a purpose to society, its just FRAKED UP!!!

Don't we already have enough people in jail for non-violent crimes? Don't we already spend enough tax money on arresting good, non-threatening people on a daily basis? Now granted, if they actually commit a real crime, such as harassing tourists by way of verbal or physical abuse, then by all means arrest them. But for taking pictures and accepting tips? REALLY?
