19 May 2020, which marked day one of the remote bulletin, will forever be etched into the e.tv history books. The hearts of many South Africans melted as another friendly face made itself feel at home on their TV screens. The most notable difference, however, is that Batman will not be reading off of autocue. Even with that, the new-co-anchor brings charisma to news broadcasting like no other. For the duration of the nation's lockdown, the terrier is here to stay.
"I am not kidding when I tell you that Batman actually thinks he is getting ready for work. He thinks he is human and doesn't leave me for a minute. So he sits next to me and preps for the show like he should," said Larsen taking to Instagram with a post of a somewhat engaged co-anchor.
e.tv welcomes Batman to the eFamily and wishes him well in learning the ropes of broadcasting news of national importance.
To see more of barking Batman, tune into e.tv every weekday Mon-Thur at 8pm.
