(KBCW/CBS) - As a superhero, your ultimate goal is to rid the streets of crime. But what do you do when there is no crime to fight? What if all the evil-doers were doing time or were simply scared?

That is exactly what happened everywhere Friday, November 15 when Miles Scott aka "The BatKid" took down The Riddler and The Penguin off the streets of San Francisco aka "Gotham City!" Thanks to social media, the exploits of Miles The BatKid spread like wildfire that criminals everywhere stayed hidden.

Especially in Starling City where we find our friend "The Arrow" returning from patrolling the city. Only to find there are no criminals around creating trouble:

Arrow's alter-ego, Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) took to Facebook to post just how bored he was.

 
On a related note, Stephen Amell's cousin, Robbie Amell of "The Tomorrow People" also gave a shout out to Miles The BatKid through Twitter:
