The San Francisco Chronicle will produce special-edition Gotham City Chronicle newspapers as the city transforms for 5-year-old cancer patient Miles on Friday.
About 1,000 newspapers will be handed out at Union Square as people gather for the Batkid Make-A-Wish event. Batman-fan Miles will battle crime around San Francisco, nabbing the Riddler and the Penguin, before receiving a key to the city from Mayor Ed Lee.

(15,696 posts)The chocolate key is by Tcho, not by Ghirardelli. The crowd at city hall was huge, and Miles figured out that every time he raised his bat arm in victory, we all went wild. It was adorable! Miles' little brother was dressed as Robin.
All in all, it was a great way celebrate a brave little kid!
