If you thought superheroes only lived on the pages of comic books then you’ve obviously never walked down South Anne Street in Dublin.

Or been to the cinema, for that matter.

Anyway, a real-life Spiderman took on a villain in the city centre recently, vanquishing him with all the skills of a handsome Andrew Garfield.

And by skills, I mean a few clumsy swings and a well timed trip. It didn’t take much to beat this bad guy, because he looked like he was incredibly drunk.

This is why the video seems a bit sad on a second watch. Just think, there’s a guy in Dublin dressing up as Spidey and goading alcoholics to fight him.

I don’t think I like a Spiderman who beats up society’s downtrodden, instead of trying to save them.
