DOJ Congratulates Batkid

Five-year-old Miles Scott, a survivor of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, was granted his ultimate wish on Friday when San Francisco was transformed into Batman’s Gotham City, which he saved from The Riddler and Penguin while dressed as a tiny version of the Caped Crusader. Thousands of onlookers watched as Scott saved a damsel in distress, stopped The Riddler from robbing a bank, rescued Giants mascot Lou Seal from The Penguin, and got the key to the city. The daylong event was organized by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. President Obama sent Miles a congratulatory Vine and the Department of Justice issued an indictment for the dastardly villains. “They will have the ability to appeal any verdict, but good luck with that,” read the indictment. “Because even if you get out of jail someday, you will never succeed in your criminal actions as long as Miles, aka ‘Batman,’ aka ‘Batkid,’ is looking out for the citizens of Gotham.”
