A five year old boy with Leukemia was given a wish by Make-a-Wish foundation. Miles said he wanted to be “batkid” and save the city from villains. Somehow, in a story that feels like a Spielberg movie come to life, more than 11,000 people became part of making his wish come true. Here’s how Batkid’s day went:
