Holy San Francisco is going to become Gotham, Batman!
At least this is the case on November 15 as the Make-A-Wish Foundation will honor the request of a 5-year-old boy who has been fighting leukemia and wants to be the Caped Crusader for a day.
According to the Greater Bay Area's Make-A-Wish website the little boy, whose name is Miles, will be patrolling the streets and fighting crime and villains on the streets of San Francisco-turned-Gotham. Here's the full press release on how Miles, er Batman, will be taking on his day of crime fighting!
After rescuing a damsel in distress from the cable car tracks in Nob Hill, and capturing the Riddler in the act of robbing a downtown vault, Batman will eat his lunch at the Burger Bar in San Francisco – directly above Union Square. While at Burger Bar, he will get a call on his batphone to go to the window – where he will look down and see a huge group of volunteers jumping up and down asking for Batman’s help. Why?
Because the Penguin will be kidnapping a famous Gotham City mascot! The getaway car will be visible on Union Square (a convertible so that everyone can see what is happening), and the chase will be on!
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. We plan on having hundreds of volunteers and donors collected to cheer and thank our Batman!
