San Francisco is a city known for hosting some pretty off-the-wall events that transform the entire city. From a massive Valentines Day pillow fight, to having one of the most colorful Halloween celebrations ever, SF gets ” out there”. But on November 15th, the city will go through a transformation from San Francisco to in Gotham City for one of its most courageous heroes.
A five-year-old Miles is fighting a battle against leukemia and thanks to the Make-A-Wish foundation, he will get the chance to fulfill his dream being the real life Dark Knight. Along with a grownup Batman sidekick, Miles will get a call from the police chief and jump into his very own Batmobile to defend the city against some of his fiercest foes – including the Riddler and Penguin. Thousands of volunteers already signed up to play along.
Make-A-Wish Bay Area describes the plot line of the day:
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!
The Make-A-Foundation will provide more details and updates on the event soon. Check their page as Miles’ big day draws nearer for ways you can help: Miles’ Wish
