5 year old caped crusader Mike Scott was cheered on by thousands of people on Friday as he saved the city of Gotham from villains The Penguin and the Riddler.
He saved a woman tied to tram tracks, foiled a bank heist, saved Lou, the San Francisco Giants’ mascot, and even got a tweet from President Obama for his super hero efforts.

It was all thanks to the Make a Wish Foundation, who transformed the city of San Francisco in the comic book city of Gotham for Miles, who is recovering from leukaemia. All he wanted was to be Batman for a day, and Holy Smokes I Need a Tissue, did they make it happen.
Miles got his own Batmobile, had a sidekick of Robin in the form of his baby brother
The San Francisco Chronicle even got in on the act and mocked up a special front page for the day that was in it.
And by the end of the day, he was given a key to the city by the Mayor himself.
Watch the video below. But be careful. This is probably going to make you cry. A lot.
