following and catching glimpses of the Batkid as he saved the city from a sinister plot orchestrated
by the Riddler and the Penguin. The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
Five-year-old Miles Scott - a.k.a. Batkid - lived out his wish of becoming a caped crusader Friday, quashing a crime spree in his pint-size superhero suit as San Francisco became Gotham City. Thousands of volunteers and spectators stopped what they were
People cheered as Miles buzzed by in a Lamborghini Batmobile. News crews gave chase as the boy rescued a damsel tied to cable-car tracks. Social media lit up with cheers.
Even President Obama took a break from defending his health care law to say in an online video, "Way to go, Miles. Way to save Gotham." The Make-A-Wish-Foundation has often arranged elaborate gifts for kids with life-threatening diseases - but never at this scale.
