Niko appears to be the most popular candidate for London Batmanโ€™s secret identity as he has a reputation for pranks which take a lot of organisation and can involve handing out goods to people.

In 2021, he opened a fake store in the city and gave away free smartphones to the public as his comment on what he saw as the high price of technology.

Niko posted a short video of himself on TikTok showing he was in the heart of New York, a move some people interpreted as him trying to prove he is not Londonโ€™s Batman.

That hasnโ€™t stopped others trying to prove otherwise. Comments on the post suggest it could have been pre-recorded as the theatre advertisements behind him donโ€™t reflect the ones playing in the city at the moment, although this hasnโ€™t been verified.

TikTok user officialroyce1 posted that Nikoโ€™s video was meaningless as he could have flown to New York and back in the same day to cover his tracks.
