I dare you to watch this Batkid film and not cheer, cry or applaud

We’ve told you plenty about Miles, a.k.a. Batkid, the amazing 5-year-old who, despite battling cancer since he was only two, saved San Francisco last November. Now you can watch his superheroic exploits in this 10-minute video, which will not only yank violently on your heartstring, but probably renew your faith in humanity.

Admittedly, Batkid did have a little help from the Make-a-Wish Foundation, the local police, the local news, and literally thousands of San Francisco natives. But I only think that adds to his legend, not detracts from it — there’s no way Batman could inspire all the citizens of Gotham City to come help him out. If only because at least 25% of the population are violent criminals.
