Batkid Leukaemia Patient Battles Crime

San Francisco has become Gotham City to make the wish of a five-year-old superhero come true.

Miles Scott, aka Batkid, left the city's Union Square in one of two Batmobiles on Friday morning.

The vehicles - two black Lamborghinis with Batman decals - were surrounded by media and onlookers.

Police blocked off roads as they escorted Batkid on his first caper, rescuing a damsel in distress from cable car tracks.

The drive through city streets is part of a day of events organised by the Make-A-Wish Foundation to fulfil Miles' wish to be Batkid. Miles was diagnosed with leukaemia and is in remission.

He also captured the Riddler as he robbed a downtown bank.

A flash mob will summon Batkid later in the day to deal with another crime - the kidnapping of the San Francisco Giants mascot Lou Seal - by the Penguin.

The San Francisco Chronicle plans to distribute special-edition newspapers with the headline, "Batkid Saves City," in Union Square.

After all the criminals are captured Miles was scheduled to receive a key to the city from Mayor Ed Lee.

"This wish has meant closure for our family and an end to over three years of putting toxic drugs in our son's body," Miles' mother, Natalie, told Make-A-Wish.

"This wish has become kind of a family reunion and is our celebration of his treatment completion."

The city's effort has created a huge stir on social media and posts on Twitter captured the positive mood.

"Well done @SFWish This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen," @dustinpenner25) posted.

"If you want your faith in humanity restored, just look at the hashtag #SFBatKid. This is awesome," @benwinslow wrote.
