'He's notorious for being kind of a goofball,' says friend of man in superhero costume
When CBC P.E.I. reported on a man who walked across a slackline at Basin Head wharf, the story drew one question — what is Superman doing in the background?
As it turns out, there's a simple answer.
The man in the superhero suit is Nathan Burke, a friend of Matthew DesRoches — the man who walked the slackline.
"He's the one that kind of pushed me to do crazy ideas," said DesRoches. "He's notorious for being kind of a goofball."
Burke also attempted to slackline across the wharf.
He came close but didn't make it, so beach visitors would have also witnessed a very wet Superman climbing out of the water.
"He was quite soggy," said DesRoches.
