BATMAN IS ROBIN'

A Times Square costumed Batman was arrested last Thursday for swiping a $50 bill from an Irish tourist. The victim, a 63-year-old woman visiting New York from Ireland, told police that she had taken a picture with Jose Escalona-Martinez, 42, dressed as Batman. She opened her wallet to give Escalona-Martinez a tip, but the caped crusader snatched a $50 bill and ran off. Cops grabbed him a few moments later and took him into custody.
* Holy Rip-Off, Batman!
* No wonder Superman doesn’t get along with him.
* They should add a line to the “Superman vs. Batman” movie: “And here’s one for that poor lady from Ireland!” POW!!
* At this point, if a story mentions Times Square, there’s a 90% chance a super-hero did something bad.
* You wanted to come from Ireland and get to know New York? Well, welcome to New York.
* So different from the movie “Brooklyn” where everything goes right.
* She wanted to see New York, but she got Gotham instead.
* Jose Escalona-Martinez? Don’t tell Trump!
* A wall around Times Square would be slightly counter-productive.
