In a climate that is full of dysfunction, distrust, and gridlock, people nationwide paused the other day to appreciate and admire the courage of a new hero, BatKid. Miles Scott, a five-year old leukemia patient in remission fulfilled a dream made possible by the Make-a-Wish Foundation and warmed our hearts.
Miles emerged as a Batman “in training” and represented the superheroes we have all come to believe in. Not only did he restore justice by capturing the “bad guys” but he restored faith in superheroes. He brought a new hope for the integrity of leaders ten times his age who should know better but continue to make missteps and beg forgiveness from constituents later.
Miles was cheered by crowds of thousands throughout San Francisco and then he received a key to the city at City Hall.
Everything you needed to know about the nation’s latest superhero, BatKid.
