Holy mix-up, Batman!
It turns out that the 1920s English baronial-style home gutted by flames was a few doors down tree-lined South San Rafael Avenue from the "real" manor occupied by Bruce Wayne, aka Batman.
Although the 21-bedroom manor that burned Wednesday had appeared frequently in film and television its credits include "Topper," "Rocky V" and "Murder, She Wrote" it was never featured in the Batman television series or more recent Batman films, according to city authorities.

In a case of mistaken identity, the mansion that was destroyed had been referred to for decades as "Wayne manor" and "Batman's house." "
Nothing to see here. Move along...
