On November 15, Make- A-Wish foundation will transform San Francisco into Gotham city for a day, NYT /Wir e Photo with thousands of volunteers already signed up to play along. Along with a grownup Batman sidekick, Miles will get a call from the police chief and jump into his very own Batmobile to defend the city against some of his fiercest foes including the Riddler and Penguin.

While at Burger Bar, he will get a call on his batphone to go to the window where he will look down and see a huge group of volunteers jumping up and down asking for Batmans help. Why?

The getaway car will be v isible Ba tm an . on Union Square (a convertible so that everyone can see what is happening), and the chase will be on!
