Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang struck again as Batman on Sunday when he revealed a Caped Crusader themed T-shirt after scoring Borussia Dortmund's winner in their 3-2 derby victory over Schalke.

The Gabon international slotted what proved to be the winning goal on 48 minutes in the Bundesliga, then received a yellow card after pulling off his playing shirt in celebration to reveal a T-shirt bearing the text 'Do you remember?' under the Batman logo.

It was referring to the Batman mask and cape outfit Aubameyang donned in last February's derby victory when he also scored in a 3-0 win over Schalke, when Germany winger Marco Reus wore a Robin mask to play the role of his sidekick.

"I am just happy that we won this tough game," said Aubameyang, who wore Batman-themed basketball boots in the pre-match pitch inspection and explained why he wore the yellow T-shirt bearing the Batman logo.

"It was to remember the show we had last season with Marco. I dedicate my goal to him," added Aubameyang after Reus missed Sunday's match with a groin injury.

Aubameyang is a self-confessed fan of the comic book crime-fighting hero, often wears hats brandishing the famous emblem and even had the Batman logo shaved into his scalp in the 2013/14 season by his French hairdresser.

Having been ticked off by former Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp for wearing the Batman cape back in February, Aubameyang revealed he had not sought permission on this occasion from current Borussia boss Thomas Tuchel.

"I didn't tell him, because he would have told me not to do it," admitted Aubameyang, who has scored 14 league goals this season and is the Bundesliga's joint top-scorer alongside Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski.

However, the club clearly approved of Sunday's superhero celebration as they changed the profile picture on the official Borussia Dortmund Twitter feed to the Batman logo, as they did on their Facebook page under the text 'Batman returns'.
