Dressed in a Batman costume, a 5-year-old boy recovering from leukaemia had his dream come true to be his favourite superhero.<br /><br />He fulfilled his wish on Friday through Make-A-Wish Foundation, with help from San Francisco city and thousands of volunteers who pledged their support. <br /><br />Miles Scott was diagnosed with leukaemia when he was 18 months old, ended treatments in June and is in remission.<br /><br />A crowd of thousands roared as Batman and the pint-sized caped crusader rescued a damsel in distress, captured the evil Riddler during a bank robbery and stopped a kidnapping by another villain, the Penguin. <br /><br />A grateful mayor Ed Lee planned to give the boy a key to the city after the villains were caught.<br /><br />Miles thought he was in San Francisco only to get a Batman costume so he could dress like his favourite superhero.<br /><br />Make-A-Wish has fulfilled similar wishes across the US.<br /><br />One child became Batman’s sidekick, Robin; and another was a secret agent, said a spokeswoman for the local organisation
