On November 15th the Make-A-Wish Foundation will turn an adorable five-year-old named Miles into Batman. Miles is fighting leukemia and, in addition to giving the kid a costume, a Batmobile, a sidekick, TWO supervillains, and an official call for help from the freakin’ police chief, the event will feature a cast of thousands.
Miles' Batman will "battle" both Riddler and Penguin, the latter of whom will be "kidnapping a famous Gotham City mascot." There will be a "car chase," a damsel in distress, all the requisite elements of a Batman adventure.
"The [Penguin's] getaway car will be visible on Union Square (a convertible so that everyone can see what is happening), and the chase will be on!," according to SFGate.com. "After catching the Penguin, Batman will make his final stop at City Hall, where the Mayor and the Police Chief of Gotham City will thank him and give him the key to the city."
So instead of a city getting the hero it needs, a little hero is getting the city he deserves. Excuse me for a moment. I think I’ve got something in my eye.
