It probably depends on the person. Some people don't want to talk about an experience they probably did not enjoy, though they might share it with family and friends just because it was a holy shit moment and they aren't sure they can believe it. Some people might share it cuz they're proud of what they managed. Other people might not be given the choice. 

But yeah, it does strike me as weird that more people aren't getting caught in the act, so to speak. Even though I can't help thinking that the attempt would likely just cause more problems unless they actively knew what they were doing.

Oh, I wouldn't for a second think it to be possible to be an actual real life vigilante - not for very long. The best martial artists in the world (Depending on the fighting style, of course.) would lose a fight to four or more "Average" humans, even less if they are armed. Being Batman is obviously impossible unless you're 25 people being Batman.

But like, former Army Veterans taking to the streets to defend their neighbourhood wearing masks and using army tactics would work just fine to take down ordinary street crime. (Though, i recall hearing about something similar a couple of years ago.)
