ITV Britain’s Got Talent fans think they have worked out who is behind the mask of The Dark Hero – who appeared in Saturday’s instalment of the show with a cover of Wicked’s Defying Gravity.
The masked man – who is yet to reveal his true identity – impressed judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli with his emphatic performance which saw him suspended in the air while dressed as Batman. And fans at home were also impressed by the cover, taking to social media to share their amazement – and one believes he’s been on the show before.
One wrote: “i’ve just seen batman singing defying gravity with a good voice whilst flying what the actual **** #BGT,” while a second added: “#BGT Was not expecting that! I want Batman to win!.” A third echoed: “He’s singing opera but why’s he dressed in a batman outfit??”
The Mirror reports that hosts Ant and Dec were also impressed by the showing, with Dec being shoved on stage by his co-host when the Dark Hero was asked if he brought Robin with him – posing coolly with crossed arms. Others were convinced that the contestant must be famous if he chose to keep his identity a secret.
One wrote: “Guessing Batman was dressed up so he didn’t speak to hide his identity. Whoever he is that was brilliant and one of my favourite musical theatre songs. #Gravity #BGT,” while a second questioned: “Why the **** would you do opera dressed as Batman unless he is trying to hide his identity as a famous singer. #BGT.”
A third continued: “Hasn’t the guy dressed as batman been on before but as himself and made it through to finals. Is that why he didn’t speak so he didn’t have to say who he was and they’d know he was on before #bgt.”
