It’s the most heart-warming story you’ll read today, the story of Miles and the Make-A-Wish foundation, who have given Miles the chance to play Batman and rescue “Gotham City” (aka San Francisco). Follow his exploits below.
Before the day was over, the FBI issued an indictment against the Riddler and the Penguin, President Obama gave his own encouragement, and the San Francisco Chronicle printed a special front page.
The Chronicle also wrote this amazing BatKid editorial that will tug at your heartstrings.
And, of course, consider donating to Make-A-Wish.
