Social pranksters “Improv Everywhere” strikes again, and convinced NYC subway commuters into thinking the city set up a subway yearbook photo studio on the 6 train. Kind of cute, right? They should set one up on every train, if possible. That way they can photograph the mariachi band that plays on the 7 train, the “Remember Me” lyric singing homeless chick on the NRW line, the break dancing high school kids on the E train and the flute-playing bitter man on the 1 line. I think that covers the beggar-mainstays on most of the lines.

A Staten Island teen fell down an open sewer manhole while texting. Cha-ching! The teens parents are pissed that the sewer was left uncovered, and don’t care that she was texting. They told Fox 5 News that they are probably (hint: definitely) going to sue.

Forget those theoretical arguments about who would win a fight in a Superman/Batman brawl. A real life fight of costumed heroes happened in Time Square yesterday, but the cops won.

According to the NY Post, Maksim Katsnelson, 23, of The Bronx, decided to dress up as Superman and spend the day in Time Square with his friend, Frank Frisoli, who dressed as Batman. Police say they approached Superman and asked him if he had a license to “perform” as Superman in Time Square. That’s when Kat nelson “freaked out” and threw the first punch at an officer.

“The Man of Steel didn’t go down with just two officers, it took seven officers!” witness Ryan McCormick said. “He was putting up a good fight. Little kids were like, ‘Mommy, it’s Superman!’ ”

The Maine resident, who has been visiting the city for two weeks, said the two had dressed up as the super heroes for laughs.
“We were just having a good time,” Frisoli said.

Witnessess say that Batman was handcuffed to a chair as seven police officers struggled to apprehend Superman.

Batman was released for non-violence. Incredibly, he walked off with another costumed friend–the Statue of Liberty.
