SF Turns Into Gotham City For 5-yo

Little kid tells the Make-A-Wish foundation that he wants to be a superhero so they turn him into “Batkid”.

People respond with great enthusiasm - something like 12,000 folks volunteering to help out and make it a fun occasion.

New helicopters are hovering outside my building right now, he just saved a woman who was tied to the cable car tracks and there is much more to come.

Enjoy :smiley:

Did they really need to gun down his parents to complete the experience?

This is very cool. I’m surprised it took so long to show up here. Go BATKID!

For all the endless depressing crap we read and hear about every day, it only takes one of these to make me think humanity has a future. Just look, up in the sky…

Ended with a key to the city (Gotham, of course) and a declaration that November 15th is Batkid Day. And if you’ll excuse me, my allergies seem to be acting up…

We’ve been following the adventures of Batkid all day! What a hero!

Yay for Batkid! And yay for all the people who came out to give him an unforgettable day!
