When fans lobby for the return of the intercompany crossover, this probably isn't what they have in mind.

CBS New York reports that Batman and Spider-Man were arrested Saturday night in Times Square after they allegedly teamed up to do battle with a shared nemesis: a heckler.

Police say the fight began at 44th Street and Broadway when 23-year-old Thomas Rorke of Breezy Point taunted the dynamic duo, who responded not with batarangs and spider-webbing but with fists. Rorke was reportedly struck numerous times, suffering injuries to his face. The costumed heroes claim they were hit as well.

In the end, NYPD arrested Rorke as well as Batman (aka 41-year-old Jose Martinez) and Spider-Man (aka 35-year-old Abdel Elkahezai). They were charged with misdemeanor assault and spent the night in jail.

Times Square has witnessed its share of costumed crime, mostly recently in late July, when a man dressed as Miles Morales was arrested in a scuffle with police. It's become such a problem that the Times Square Alliance has called for regulation of the costumed characters, and New York City Council is considering a bill that would require licenses and background checks.

Even this Batman had earlier brushes with the law, and not for vigilantism: Police say was previously been arrested for public urination, assault and weapons possession.
