it's unbelievable. it fills up the city block on both sides of the street. as the chief of police told us, he told us the city has gone bat nuts. he says the city, it's a proud day to be a san francisco civic an. this is myles scott's wish. he told the make-a-wish foundation, even surprised his parents when he said, "i want to be batman for a day. the make-a-wish foundation has made that come true. the city has sprung into action beyond anyone's expectations. i'm hesitant to peel away from this in case he pulls up, but i want to take you to a video clip. abc 7 news is in on the action. and we -- we started his morning with a news brief. the police chief alerted him with a video clip in his hotel room. we'll watch, we have a few seconds before he gets here. must have exciting for him to watch in his hotel room. >> we grin this broadcast with breaking news -- begin this broadcast with breaking news from the hall of justice. >> please, caped crusader, we

into the giving season. [ cheers ] of . >> reporter: everyone has out their smart iphones to cover this moment. i have covered presidential motorcades in my career, and i'm not sure the presidents get this kind of crowd. people telling they are huge fans of bat kid. who doesn't want to cheer on bat kid and watch him take down the ridler? oh, dear. we've got a camera in our way. can you -- we are told that the vault here has -- there's a ridler here, an actor, there's an actor downstairs in the vault dressed up in a ridler costume. it even has the question marks all over his green suit. and from here, myles is going to go have a lunch break. and he's getting all of his requests from police chief sir

who is our commissioner today here in gotham city who has prerecorded messages for myles. and his batman has a projector on his wrist, a device. and so at every stop, they get a beep, beep, beep. and greg sir, a video imager, greg sir pops up and says, "bat kid, bat kid, i made it your help. there's a damsel in distress." or at this location, "the ridler is conducting a robbery right now." that's how they know where to go next. and they come to this location in their lamborghini which was donated. the chief told me he cannot believe the reaction he's got friend around the world. he's been getting calls from as far away as australia. people very interested in bat kid and wanting to watch his dream come true. now he's only 5 years old. so my little boy is actually 5 years old. and i can't imagine how overwhelming this must be for him. all these people cheering for him. hare here he comes.

with leukemia. today is all about fun. his family told us he had his last treatment in june. he's in remission. he looked healthy, as you saw him run in there. he looked happy. he's just having a wonderful day. they told us the vault is very small. even his parents wouldn't fit. there the riddler probably doesn't stand a chance against blatt ki bat kid, trying to protect us. after this, he'll get a lunch break. hopefully he'll get to take a breath from saving the world from these villains. he is definitely well loved. and as they say, it's a proud day to be a san franciscan. >> best story ever, thank you very much. >> all right. amy was starting to talk about it. here it is. bat kid's exciting adventures will continue.
