Real life superhero Phoenix Jones and his team have been asked by the citizens of France to visit their fine country and be a part of the fight against injustice.

This invitation comes in the wake of an increase in crime in Marseille, France. Residents of the city have begun a Facebook campaign petitioning for Batman to come to France and fight criminals.

The "Will It Take Batman To Save Marseille?" petition began after a pensioner was shot while trying to stop a crime.

According to Phoenix Jones, "I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO VISIT FRANCE AND FIGHT CRIME; THEY WILL PAY FOR MY TEAM'S AIR FAIR AND HOTEL." He adds, "THINKING OF INVITING MY UK TEAM AND CRIMSON FIST, PURPLE REIGN, AND EVOCATUS."
