Well, this is not very superhero-like behaviour. Batman was arrested in Times Square after apparently stealing $50 from a tourist and making a run for it. But DC Comics fans need not worry – this wasn’t actually Batman, but an imposter. (Phew) Jose Escalona-Martinez, 42, was dressed up and posing with two Irish tourists when he allegedly pickpocketed one of them and dashed off. Because he was just a regular guy and not an actual superhero, police quickly outran him and made the arrest. “A dark night for Gotham when fake Batman is led away in cuffs,” Escalona-Martinez was charged with grand larceny and possession of stolen property.
