Two crime-fighting characters in Times Square have landed in the spotlight, and it’s not for saving lives. The NYPD told 1010 WINS two men, one dressed as Batman and another dressed as Spider-Man, were arrested after a brawl with another man at the Crossroads of the World Saturday night. Police said the fight started on 44th Street and Broadway after 23-year-old Thomas Rorke heckled the superheroes, CBS 2’s Matt Kozar reported.

Time square was ruined when they took out the porn and made it look like Tokyo with buildings on top of buildings and all the neon crap.

Seriously.

I was in West Hollywood last month and the Spiderman/Batman jerk offs were pretty aggressive and all over the sidewalk demanding pictures.

I dunno, maybe they get paid per photo?

I saw him in NYC two years ago. He wears a cowboy hat, boots, tight trunks around his loins made up like underwear briefs. Oh yes, and the guitar.

NYC has quite a few of these characters, but I saw just as many out in Los Angeles.

Isn’t he sponsored by the BUBBA GUMP COMPANY?

WOW! And there we go!

I can understand poor student Peter Parker needing some spare change, but does billionaire Bruce Wayne really need to shake down the tourists? What's next? Plastic Man and Mister Fantastic standing on opposite sidewalks trying to act as squeegee men for every lane of traffic?

In my world, he is. Especially with my child in tow.

Decency laws you to consider this unacceptable.
