Ya know, as much as humans can sometimes be dicks- we lie, we cheat, we steal, we kill, etc. Sometimes people can be pretty awesome. To see an entire city do something like this for a little kid... saying my faith in humanity being restored is an understatement.
To say we have done good or bad is inherently an opinion. We have done what is in our nature. Ultimately it has been about survival, we tend to celebrate that.
I was there that day. I was among the thousands at Civic Center cheering on the Batkid. Not only did I get to see him in person, I got to feel the energy of so many people sharing excitement in something so great. It reminded me that one thing we always take for granted is the kindness and caring nature of most people. To be surrounded by so many people with a common love for making a brave child's dream come true was indescribable. It truly restored my faith in humanity.
that must have been amazing. I would have loved to have been there. I still almost can't believe something like this actually happens. You always hear about so much death and violence. This was so uplifting. That's so cool you were there.
Leave it SF to have the ULTIMATE Pity Party... kid looked like he just wanted to take a nap lol.. how much did this cost again? How many "dreams" could MAWF have fulfilled?? At least a hundred.. this was a giant "yep, man we are some good azz folks" party...
@ultimatesunrise You sound jealous. Nothing you do (or I for that matter) will ever be close to this. You will make no mark, no positive lasting impression. Just a bitter hater. Go back to bed or playing video games and yelling at people to make yourself feel better you turd.
let's face it, it's a very expensive project. It would be nice if they could do it for all kids with cancer, but it takes planning and money and many people. But it does bring people together even if it only happens once or twice in a year/decade.
What people need to realize is that a stunt like this isn't just changing the life of a little boy who wanted to be Batman, it changes the lives of everyone involved. All those people who can now say they were there when San Francisco transformed into Gotham City for a day will remember this for the rest of their lives. Not only that, but it also gives hope and courage to every young child who is battling a life-threatening disease. It sends out a message, a message that says; Keep strong, keep fighting, and never give up. Something like this just goes to show how selfless and caring human beings can really be. How many people turned up and lined the streets to support that young boy? Not only that, but it's because of the internet, social media and the interactivity we have today that made this entire spectacle more than anyone ever expected it to be. Things like this should happen more often, and it's a real shame that they don't.
Masterash01 totally agreed! The people involved needed this more than the boy. People needed a happy story with a happy ending, and this little kid is the real hero here. He pushed through being exhausted half-way through the day, and kept going. He put his personal struggles aside and gave people a happy ending that we all needed. That's the definition of a hero. In a huge way, millions of people needed this kid way more than he needed us. And he delivered the way only a hero can.
aura avila Because he's the hero that the Francisco deserves. He's the one that they need right now because he can take it. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. He's... THE DARK KNIGHT.
I still cry like a little girl when I see the Batkid videos. Make-A-Wish, along with a whole city, came through for this kid and a couple, who happen to be rich, paid for it all, not taxpayers. This has nothing to do with race, with social status, it's just a really awesome wish coming true for a sick child. I'm sure the boy and his parents did not expect it to become the huge event that it did but this shows us what humanity can really be like. I'm from California and San Francisco just made me proud. This should cause everyone to put aside all their petty differences and just applaud such a fighter of a child.
I am a pediatric ICU nurse and I just started volunteering with Make a Wish Foundation. I tend to see these children at their most vulnerable, sickest times when they are in the ICU, so volunteering to me is so I can see the other side of these children. I love the joy and the fact that these wish kids get to be a kid for once without having to worry about their illness. The anticipation leading up to the wish gives them encouragement, strength and something amazing to look forward to and improves their health through this process. This story was so heartfelt and the support behind it reminds me how many wonderful people we have supporting our youth. This is the kind of news that needs to be reported, shared and acknowledged because this is what matters.
I can't get over how cool it is that an entire city got together and planned this event for Miles and how people came from all over the world to see it. Really goes to show what we can do if we all stand together.
+strateass They actually intended on leaving The Joker out of it. Why? Because when picking villains for this thing, they thought Joker would be WAY too frightening for him.
No wonder the US is the greatest country in this world. Thank you for such an amazing act of heart-warming and devotional love and hope for not just locals, but for the whole world as well.
I just finished watching the documentary of this on Netflix, so beautiful. I wish i was there, to see someone as happy and as privileged as that brings a tear to my heart. Faith in humanity restored!
Actually Miles is doing great! The majority of kids whose wishes we grant go on to beat their illnesses and live typical, healthy lives. You can read an update on Miles here: sf.wish.org/wishes/wish-stories/i-wish-to-be/wish-to-be-batkid
Make a wish is such a wonderful thing, my sister had leukemia and they made a wish come true for her. All the kids at the hospital got a wish not just one. Batkid is just one of those wishes that came true. This runs by donations that u can make and rich people and corporations make. Please don't criticize unless you know exactly how this work and how it makes a family feels when they tell u at the hospital, your sick child gonna get a wish.
How can people dislike a beautiful thing? This was meant to for fill a wish of a CHILD! It's meant to bring a smile to their face while they are battling the most horrible thing a child could go through! No matter the location, a child is a child. If people have the money to make one kid's dream come true, respect it. What are most people doing? Sitting behind a computer screen, complaining about life. I'm glad there are organizations like these to keep a child smiling and hopeful. Life is beautiful, and most of us that are healthy don't see the beauty in it.
This is the most beautiful story...ever. God bless him. So awesome. Great Job to all those involved. This is what America is about. This stuff right here.
it's so heart warming beautiful anyone ever done it before, making his dreams comes true, he want to be a super hero like batman, it was good, made me cry and funny. It make me feel to help the children to make their dreams come true, never give up on ur dreams. Batkid thank you.
7:18 Not just making everyone's day in San Francisco better...you made the world a better place...and not just for the day....but for every day that follows when people watch this video. Yes definetly faith in humanity restored. People can be so awesome if they are only given the chance. It doesn't always have to take a disaster to bring a city or a nation together. I like it when the news is about good, don't you?
This is what brings my hope in people back, make a wish didn't just have a small event for him, but they really did good when they had all of San Francisco do this, i just wish i knew about this so i could support him along with the others.
What a touching story. So heart felt. Miles has made my day. Great job San Francisco Make A Wish. Making wishes come true and memories for a life time.
Awesome...just amazingly awesome. With all of the crazy bad things going on in the world today, im so happy to see that wishes really do come true..and for this little 5yr old boys wish to come true was a true blessing. You are my hero Batkid:)
This was obviously the most amazing thing that could have been done and thank god and everyone who helped to aid his treatment should be commended because he survived but... how are his parents gonna top this
I was one of the Camera Ops.... The many, many Camera men and Women who got to be involved and shoot a story where an entire city took the day off and and bring this idea to life. A Nobel story and a great memory.
How can you not smile and shed a tear at the same time at this beatiful thing make a wish did for this brave child., I Know God smiled that day. This renewed my faith in humanity
Ya know, as much as humans can sometimes be dicks- we lie, we cheat, we steal, we kill, etc. Sometimes people can be pretty awesome. To see an entire city do something like this for a little kid... saying my faith in humanity being restored is an understatement.
To say we have done good or bad is inherently an opinion. We have done what is in our nature. Ultimately it has been about survival, we tend to celebrate that.
@ people kill based on opinions of what help is.
Awesameer I’m in miles class I sit next to him
Three years later and this still awesome as hell.
+Nick Bleker (SkullxGaming873) 2 years, boy!
+Amy Grindhouse Well, 3 years, because the video was posted on January, and the comment was posted after January.
the batkid is officially cancer free, so its i'd say its more awesome than ever
2019 and it’s still awesome.
Still awesome as hell, I love watching these great Make-A-Wish videos.
Riddler: LET ME OUT!!!!
Batkid: NO!
Toy chica none of yo beexwax *Sad recorded music for Riddler.*
Savage
That was the coolest part. Probably scared the Riddler good!
Imagine Batkid just gives this surprisingly low pitched manly growl "NO" and uh "WHERE IS SHE, JOKER"

@mMango oh, I'm sorry, were you there?
OMG you were there???!!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺

This is the kinda stuff that gives me hope in humanity again.
shit, this video got me tearing up a bit...
Me too...

I'M NOT CRYING!!!...I've got something in my eye...
I too have something in my eyes......
Who's cutting onions in here?
😭
I cant stop smiling. ... its so heart warming. .. god bless everyone one for their support.
i know i wish he was a real hero so i can cheer him on
aura avila Because he's the hero that the Francisco deserves. He's the one that they need right now because he can take it. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. He's... THE DARK KNIGHT.
got that right

As someone who LOVED Batman, this kinda hit extra hard.

I tend to see these children at their most vulnerable, sickest times when they are in the ICU, so volunteering to me is so I can see the other side of these children.

Thank you so much for your work. I wish more people had your priorities and your compassion :)
I can't get over how cool it is that an entire city got together and planned this event for Miles and how people came from all over the world to see it. Really goes to show what we can do if we all stand together.
I think we all wished the joker had made an appearance slightly but this is just the best thing I've heard of in weeks.
+strateass They actually intended on leaving The Joker out of it. Why? Because when picking villains for this thing, they thought Joker would be WAY too frightening for him.
Forget Robin. Batkid is Batman's new sidekick!
No batman is batkids sidekick
@@retroruby YES
No wonder the US is the greatest country in this world. Thank you for such an amazing act of heart-warming and devotional love and hope for not just locals, but for the whole world as well.
The fact that the kid beat it is even better
i will never stop sharing this video
How could someone dislike this!!! This child deserves this he was so strong!!
I’m in his xlass
Class
I just finished watching the documentary of this on Netflix, so beautiful. I wish i was there, to see someone as happy and as privileged as that brings a tear to my heart. Faith in humanity restored!
Amazing how so many people came together to make this little boy's wish come true.
Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need.
Does anyone else think it would be awesome if Miles Scott played Batman in the movies when he grows up?
ZukoHalliwell he died...
Unique YT he beat leukemia
Actually Miles is doing great! The majority of kids whose wishes we grant go on to beat their illnesses and live typical, healthy lives. You can read an update on Miles here: sf.wish.org/wishes/wish-stories/i-wish-to-be/wish-to-be-batkid
Thank God, thank God, God bless him
@@mariah8674 no he didn't, you fucking idiot.
This made me cry. Bless the kid so much, he's a survivor and real hero for people everywhere.
Now San Francisco really is just Gotham City. Time to call Batkid back.
Holy tear ducts, Batman... I can't stop crying while watching this video. Batkid rules. Make-A-Wish rules. San Fransisco rules.
Humanity has been restored. God bless this Batkid and hope he recovers.
This is the cutest and emotional thing i've ever seen in my entire live...

To the two people who disliked this video... Smh.. The lady in this video was right, we need more news stories like this. This is great!
OMG HOW CUTE!!!
This was so cute to watch happen LIVE. Truly one of the best things to happen in SF.
That guy who played Batman earned all my respect We need to celebrate people like him I'm glad I watched this
THE CITY IS SAFE BECAUSE OF BATKID! BATKID ROCKS.
The people that dislike this have no heart.
IKR!
This is the most beautiful story...ever. God bless him. So awesome. Great Job to all those involved. This is what America is about. This stuff right here.
You're right. It's about Batman.
Still gotta say, this is one of my favorite videos on the internet.
Hundreds of other less fortunate children's wishes are granted through Make A Wish.
still better action story than twilight final fight
Bro imagine if he was a twilight fan instead
@@thegreentop5963 ew
it's so heart warming beautiful anyone ever done it before, making his dreams comes true, he want to be a super hero like batman, it was good, made me cry and funny. It make me feel to help the children to make their dreams come true, never give up on ur dreams. Batkid thank you.
This is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.
Still feels so good watching today....GoBATKID
Am I the only one who finds it absolutely hilarious that the director is named John Crane?!
I was going to remark on this but you beat me to it so props to you!
I think they seeked him out on purpose. Stay tuned for the next episode. Same Batkid time! Same Batkid channel!
You have got to he kidding me....
a hero can be anyone
Joker disliked 530 times.
The Joker You want me? Here I am.
+The Lenny Lego Show The Joker, Scare Crow, Two Face, Ivy, Bane and all the rest disliked
lol.. who on earth would dislike this amazing story thats amazing and so sweet
+Abigail Harvick Joker obviously. And other villains
565
This is one of the most moving stories I've ever seen. Great job Batkid! You're a true hero.
Great job dynamic duo

The most beautiful video I have ever sent by make a wish! God bless them all
I watched this on the News and now on UA-cam this is the things to look up to and hope in the future I can help others just like the kid in this
This is what brings my hope in people back, make a wish didn't just have a small event for him, but they really did good when they had all of San Francisco do this, i just wish i knew about this so i could support him along with the others.
Great job at Caron Batman great job you guys the Riddler is gone.

This is inspiring.
Batkid is awesome!!
Don't cry... Don't cry.... Doooonnnttt cryyyyyy!!!!
........ DAMN IT!
What a touching story. So heart felt. Miles has made my day. Great job San Francisco Make A Wish. Making wishes come true and memories for a life time.
"Produced by John Crane Films" - LOL
I guess even the Scarecrow has a soft spot for Batkid! :)
In the middle of Covid this makes me happy yet totally depressed that SF won’t see crowds like that for a long while.
Best and most inspiring story of 2013. Let this inspire heroes and courage and love in all our hearts!
Go BatKid!
watching this with tears in my eyes.....way to go, Miles! good job bringing the bad guys to justice! good luck to you and your family!
The world needs a lil more of that
Faith in humanity restored.
See, they don't show the part where his parents get mugged in an alley
I have Warm Fuzzies that just go through and through me.
This is just wonderful!
Hugh supporter of Make a Wish. But this was the most awesome wish I've ever seen
WHY IS THIS MAKING ME CRY BYE
Faith in humanity restored
Thanks to Make-A-Wish & all the volunteers that took part in making this a reality for the little boy. You are amazing people.
Beatiful...
So much WIN in this. Humanity still has a fighting chance!
This is such an amazing thing that was done for this cute little boy. I'm sure that he'll cherish his memories of this day forever.
Awesome...just amazingly awesome. With all of the crazy bad things going on in the world today, im so happy to see that wishes really do come true..and for this little 5yr old boys wish to come true was a true blessing. You are my hero Batkid:)
Awesome! Faith in humanity Restored!
Honestly I think the real reason so many people participated was because well... it's freaking Batman!
I'm in tears .. this is excellent
Revisited again after 4 years ❤️
This was obviously the most amazing thing that could have been done and thank god and everyone who helped to aid his treatment should be commended because he survived but... how are his parents gonna top this
Way to cool! God bless those involved!
I always think they should have a Batman statue in New York City that would be Badass
Man....this kills me. This is the coolest Thing ever.
I was one of the Camera Ops.... The many, many Camera men and Women who got to be involved and shoot a story where an entire city took the day off and and bring this idea to life. A Nobel story and a great memory.
THIS WAS SO AWESOME FOR THIS KID! GO BATKID!
Way to go people!!! gotta love what people can do together
Made me cry 😢 and smile 😃
A true hero!
I have no shame in saying a cried like a girl to this, amazing story and wish come true :D
Awesome!!! BatKid is that dude!
Make-A-Wish is pretty great.
How can you not smile and shed a tear at the same time at this beatiful thing make a wish did for this brave child., I Know God smiled that day. This renewed my faith in humanity
Stuff like this makes me believe in humanity again.
This is fantastic! Best story of 2013!!!!
San Fransisco's Finest Moment!
This is amazing touched my heart i am a huge Batman fan and that little boy is more of a hero to me than any comic book hero
Wow this was great!! What a beautiful child & family. Great job make a wish & the city of SanFrancisco.
If this doesn't put a smile on your face, then I don't know what will. :)
Oh 6 years later, someone is still cutting onions. 😭
Cheers from Canada on a job well done Batkid!
