This is Miles. He is five years old and battling cancer. He also spent Friday helping San Francisco police take on the likes of The Penguin and The Riddler.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation pulled together one of its most elaborate, incredible, heart-warming projects for young Miles, who told them he "wanted to be Batman." The organization turned San Francisco into Gotham City for a day of Batman-esque feats that culminated with a caper at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants.

We highly recommend a trip over to the @SFWish Twitter feed to see all that's been going on. But here are some of the highlights.

They got him his own custom Batmobile:

He helped save a damsel in distress:

He took a lunch break (got to):

Immediately after lunch, The Penguin kidnapped Giants mascot Lou Seal (in a Bentley, no less):
