The will of superheroes.
Miles Scott, a 5-year-old boy with leukemia, made a distant wish: "to be Batman.".
In order to make his wish come true, countless people took part in an activity. On November 15, 2013, San Francisco became Gotham City for a short time. More than 10000 people gathered on the streets. Miles put on Batman costume and saved the city. His wish came true.
This is a story that moved countless people many years ago. It was spread to 117 countries and made into the documentary "little Batman attack", which had a great impact.
Now the story has a happy ending.
I want to be a real Batman. "That's what miles made to the social workers at the wish foundation.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization in the United States. Its purpose is to help seriously ill children achieve their wishes - "hope that by making their dreams come true, they can make their lives full of hope, perseverance and joy".
Five year old miles is one of the recipients of the wish foundation. When he was only one and a half years old, he was diagnosed with leukemia. He needed lumbar puncture every three months, chemotherapy every month, and the inconvenience of low immunity.
That doesn't stop him from yearning for Batman. After seeing it on TV once, miles fell in love with the superhero - Batman as a mortal, constantly fighting crime, and never giving up - to some extent, miles, who is fighting against disease, finds his own shadow from the hero.
As for Myers' desire to be Batman, Myers' parents responded "what can we do?" and "we have no idea at all.".
It's a seemingly impossible wish - not "want Batman's toys," not "want to see Batman," but "I want to be a real Batman.".
A Batman player quickly enters the room. He brings miles a set of small Batman equipment. They set out at random. In the documentary, Myers's father recalled this passage: "you can see his eyes light up at once."
The scene of departure was well shown by the documentary. The bat car drove out from the dark. Under the roar of the helicopter, hundreds of cheering people came. Miles sat in the Batmobile and waved to them.
They're on a journey to save Gotham.
Everything went according to plan. On one track, miles, led by Batman, rescued the girl tied to the Riddler's bomb. The rescued girl hugged miles and said, "thank you, Batman." Miles patted her on the back as if to appease her.
Then the news came that the Riddler was robbing a bank, and the San Francisco police needed the hero's help. Miles arrived soon and arrested him.
Then, in a baseball field, miles rescued Lu, the giant's mascot, from penguins.
The activity goes to the final point. In front of the city hall, the mayor paid homage to the hero who rescued Gotham, and awarded miles the key to the city made of chocolate. Thousands of people cheered.
In the course of this journey, we can see people cheering for miles everywhere. They saw miles realize his wish and tears welled up in their eyes. This once made young miles a little confused: "what are they doing skipping?"
"Do you believe it? They're dancing for you. "
According to the official website of the wishing foundation, more than 16000 participants have registered on the website. About 20000 people have gathered in front of the city hall, and 10000-20000 people have participated in each other's activities.
There are more than 500000 tweets about "bat boy miles", including a message from then US President Barack Obama.
San Francisco daily produced a special edition, Gotham City daily, with the headline: "bat boy saved the city."
In the Batman Series, Batman saves Gotham again and again.
In Gotham, Batman and the citizens save each other.
Such a wish should be accompanied by a great ending.

In the movie Batman: the rise of the dark knight, Batman's spine is broken by Bain, and he is thrown into a prison in a deep well with a broken body. The freedom outside the well is hard to reach.
It's very similar to the process of fighting disease - young miles has been suffering like this.
Although Myers' treatment ended in June 2013, there is still a long recovery period that needs to be vigilant about recurrence.
People still care about the boy and there are reports about miles almost every year.
Finally, in November 2018, many websites recording miles' information have been updated one after another - miles Scott is now free from cancer.
Five years later, Myers' disease has not recurred, which means that he has completely extricated himself from cancer free.
He is not a survivor of disease, but a superhero who defeats suffering.
Batman miles' wish has a great ending.
"He rises"

The story of miles comes to an end, and the will of the superhero is still passing on.
After the event, Myers' parents set up the bat boy foundation to help the same people
On November 15, 2013 in San Francisco, thousands of strangers helped miles put on his Batman uniform. On this day, everyone became heroes.
To this day, their wishes have come true.
The will of superheroes will never fail - I hope that this belief brought by these heroes can be passed on to everyone.
