San Francisco to Transform Into Gotham for Boy's Batman Make-a-Wish


A little boy is about to get the surprise of a lifetime when San Francisco

turns itself into Gotham City on Nov. 15 to fulfill the 5-year-old leukemia

patient's wish to be Batman for a day.


"He is a sunny, positive little boy and finds his inspiration in super

heroes," Make-a-Wish said of the boy, Miles. "When we interviewed Miles for a wish, he surprised even his parents: he wishes to BE BatKid!"


Make-a-Wish decided to make Miles' dream come true and, in a rare move for the foundation, asked the public to participate.

Low quality op.

I think it's awesome. Too much **** and bad news in the world, it's nice this kid can see there is still humanity in the world and it's a chance for others to see that too.

To the hater(s), i was involved in the Wish upon a Star charity in the UK a few years ago and some of the kids wishes were to visit a RAF station, see aircraft etc.

I set up a visit to my then unit and took them to see the aircraft where the pilots and crew gave them a brief and tour, a visit to the military dogs where they saw a demo, played pool in the crewroom and chatted to the handlers, got fingerprinted by the coppers + other stuff.

But the best/worst moment of the visit was when visiting the fire section. One of the kids, maybe 6 or 7, was sat in the engine with firefighters helmet on and asked his dad to take a photo - he said to his dad to give the photo to his younger brother when he's gone so he can remember him when he was happy and having fun.

**** me, there weren't many dry eyes after that.
