That's awesome!

I can't help but think, what is a cities worldwide came together in such a manner for further causes for the greater good of a wider society?

I'm not knocking the article at all, just to be clear!

Couldn't they just have killed his parents like the real Batman?

Things like this are what gives me hope for humanity. Shame it's so damn outweighed.

Lovely story. Hope the kid beats it for good.

I never knew about this until the other day when Sky News started showing it. Great stuff!

At first I thought it was a father and son event sort of show.

Likewise. You hardly ever hear this stuff.

It was a great thing for the kid. I am glad to hear of America spending on something worthwhile for once.

Amazing! That is one thing the Americans are good at! Coming together.
