It's a story just about every news network and website is covering. Five-year old Miles has been battling lymphoblastic leukemia since he was just 20 months old. Miles has a dream to be Batman and the folks at the Make-A-Wish Foundation and nearly twelve-thousand volunteers turned San Francisco into Gotham City for the day and Miles into it's Dark Knight protector.

The attached video is running on the front page of CNN.
