City of San Francisco teamed up with more than 15,000 Make-A-Wish volunteers to make a 5-year-old’s superhero dream come true! Miles Scott has battled cancer (leukemia) for years and his only wish was to be Batman for a day.
The Make-a-Wish Foundation set up several scenarios around the city involving two of Gotham’s greatest enemies, The Penguin and The Riddler.
The Gotham City Chronicle kept citizens informed about the adventures of Batkid
Here he is with his Batmobile
And his little brother as Robin
News helicopters followed the Batman and Batkid everywhere they went
His first job was to save a woman who was tied to the cable car tracks
Later, Batkid apprehended the Riddler in a downtown bank vault

After apprehending The Riddler, Batkid ate some lunch. It was a long morning
Our hero surveyed the citizens of Gotham he’s sworn to protect
The penguin headed out to face off against our caped crusader

Batkid freed Lou and got his reward

Now that The Riddler and The Penguin both have been charged by the FBI, Batkid is on his way to Gotham’s city hall where the mayor will be giving him a key to the city
And the whole city is waiting for him!
