(translated from Italian by Google Translate, with slight editing by me) A man disguised as Batman, who travels to the United States with the Batmobile visiting sick children and teens, arrived in the room Danielle Chaya bat Aviva, nineteen years old, in Coral Springs, Florida just as the Shaliach Chabad Rabbi Avraham Friedman was visiting the girl.
The rabbi immediately asked if Batman was Jew and when the man replied in the affirmative, the rabbi proposed to put Tefillin. Batman that he had never worn in his life, however, did not want to take off his mask and reveal his true identity, so he asked if we could just put Tefillin on the arm. The rabbi explained that in case it is impossible to wear on the head is allowed to wear them only on the arm, and also in this way a mitzva is accomplished.

Hmm... I don't think that quite counts as not being able to put tefillin on the head.
