A five-year-old leukaemia survivor, who dressed up as Batman to "save" his city, has earned the praises of his big screen counterparts, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck.
Miles Scott hit the headlines on Friday, when he took to the streets of San Francisco, California with more than 11,000 volunteers and
organisers from the Make-A-Wish Foundation to turn the place into fictional Gotham City, where Batman fights crime.
Former Caped Crusader, Bale, heard about the heroic young boy, who has been battling the disease since he was 18-months-old and is now in remission, when he arrived in California on Friday from Spain, where he has been filming his new movie, Moses.
He told New York magazine, "I looked on the news and I saw all the pictures of him running around and saving people. It's so touching.
