Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Kevin Conroy, and Adam West comment on Batkid

Last Friday San Francisco, California was transformed into Gotham City. Thanks to the Make-A-Wish foundation, Miles Scott, a five year old leukemia patient, had his dream come true and was Batman for the day -- or Batkid, as the public calls him. Young Miles got to save a girl from the Riddler, battle the Penguin, and even cruise around in his own Batmobile. Thousands gathered around on the streets of San Francisco to see it all unfold. It was touching to see everyone come together to make this young Batman fan's dream come true.

Batkid even had the support of Batmen. Check out what Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Kevin Conroy, and Adam West had to say about Miles Scott.

Christian Bale

"Wasn't that fantastic?" Bale told Vulture. "I looked on the news and I saw this headline and thought, 'What's that?' And I saw all the pictures of him running around and saving people. It's so touching. [...] This little kid, oh my God — what a wonderful day for the little fella! It's just fantastic, seeing all those people who were out there to support it."

Ben Affleck

Batkid. Best Batman ever. #SFBatKid #MakeAWish @SFWish

Amazing Batkid in SF! How inspiring that an entire city stopped to honor that childs wish. The power of a child to unite us, beautiful.

Val Kilmer also retweeted a tweet that was congratulating the little kid. Too bad Clooney doesn't have a Twitter. Or Clooney doesn't count?

My only complaint is he may live beyond his death date. There are also others who will never be known and I think we should recognize them and do something for them.

that is sooooo wonderful. Also, all that money (if it did cost anything) could have been donated to starving kids and made wishes for some actual food come true, but aaaaawwwww.

Maybe he can be in Batman vs Superman. I'm not even kidding. It could be a scene like in Iron Man 2 where Iron shoots that robot from behind the young fan.

Wouldn't mind if they could find this kid a small cameo in the Batman Vs Superman movie coming out. Amazing story and even more amazing ability to pull this thing off.

You know, every time a villain says mankind has no hope, we should show things like these to them.

Christian Bale clearly gave the most heartfelt comment of them all. And those guys at TMZ sure like to stalk Keaton around, geezz...

I almost started crying when I saw this. It is very common to see Make-A-Wish grant children the wish to meet Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, or One Direction, and that's why this is so special. This was such an interactive wish for Miles Scott and he was actually able to experience all of Batman's real action scenes. Batman doesn't have any real superpowers, just the human powers of strength and the will to never give up, and it makes it so much more realistic for an average kid to believe that he can be the Batman. It's truly touching that so many people worked together to make this whole day completely special for Miles. There was also crowds of people with signs waiting for him at every scene to cheer him on. I believe this is the best gift for any kid, and Miles completely deserved it. I thank every single person for helping him live his dream, and I wish Miles the best.

Bruce Wayne's next kid should be Bat-Kid instead of the next Robin.
