The child has plenty of experience battling villains—he’s been fighting leukemia since he was one year old.
When “Make A Wish San Francisco” asked Miles what he wanted more than anything in the world, the little guy said, “I wish to be BatKid.”

Miles, who is battling leukemia, wants more than anything to be 'Batkid,' and the Make-A-Wish Foundation is making that wish come true.
That wish came true today as San Francisco turned into Gotham City just for Miles.

The day began with a breaking news story. San Francisco’s Police Chief called on Batkid to save the city from the evil supervillains Riddler and Penguin.
Miles, disguised as Batkid from head to toe, joined an adult-sized Batman and his baby brother as Robin as they hopped into two waiting Batmobiles.

As usual, the Riddler was up to no good. But he was no match for this superhero. At least 500 people looked on as Batkid rescued a damsel-in-distress from the HydeStreet cable-car tracks in Nob Hill.

Even superheroes can’t fight crime on an empty stomach, so Batkid will refuel with his parents at San Francisco’s Burger Bar. When his meal ends, San Francisco’s Police Chief will ask him to look outside the window, where hundreds of volunteer Gotham City residents will be jumping up and down, pleading for Batkid’s help.
This time, the culprit is Penguin. Batkid will need to save San Francisco’s mascot Lou Seal from the Penguin’s slimy hands.
At the end of the day, Batkid will stop at City Hall where Mayor Ed Lee will hand him a key to the city.
The San Francisco Chronicle printed a special edition today that was handed out at Union Square while people gathered for the event.
Hope Miles is having an amazing day! #BatKid #GothamCitySF pic.twitter.com/Xfk5x6TuSU
