Being Batkid

Back in November both The Joker and The Penguin invaded San Francisco, and the public not only cheered them, but literally hundreds of thousands of volunteers stood in the sun for hours on end to do so. Heck, the SFPD even had a helping hand in making sure that their plans went off like clockwork.

And here is why:



The Batkid phenomenon is already the subject of dissertations and theses as well as a forthcoming full-length documentary. Until that hits theaters, however, sit back and enjoy this video that takes you behind the scenes on Batkid day.




Miles, whose leukemia is in remission, was exhausted by lunchtime but the sight of the crowds and an escaping Penguin perked him right up again. His father beams with pride when Miles, a habitually quiet boy, put the Riddler in his place.

Great stuff. We can all agree that a 5 year old need never fight an evil such as cancer, but The Penguin? Yeah, he told him off without missing a step.
