Two beloved superheros, one unlikely foe.
Batman may be fighting Superman in 2016, but in the meantime he’s joining forces with Spider-Man — at least, their Times Square cosplayers squared off against some dude in Times Square whom they accuse of sexual harassment.
Last Saturday, 23-year-old Thomas Rorke managed to get himself in a fistfight with Batman (a.k.a. José Escalona-Martinez) and Spider-Man (a.k.a. Abdel Elkahezai), the New York Post reports. The dynamic duo allege that Rorke started the scuffle by drunkenly straddling Escalona-Martinez while threatening, “I’m gonna f–k you, Batman.”
Soon, Spidey and the Dark Knight found themselves in the fight of their lives. Rorke allegedly grabbed Elkahezai, who then shot webbing at him (it was really just the Silly String he uses as part of his act). The situation quickly escalated into an all-out brawl, and — before the Batmobile could get to the scene — law enforcement got involved and arrested all three men for assault.
Batman and Spiderman have always been proponents of justice, and in this case, justice will be served for all involved, no matter how drunk or costumed they are. For all we know, the Joker and the Green Goblin may have orchestrated the whole thing.
Actually, Marvel and DC, we think we just gave you an idea for a movie…
