on Ben Affleck FaceTime video calls young dying Batman fan

Earlier this week, Shazam star Zachary Levi put up the "Bat Signal" for Ben Affleck after he saw a tweet about a young Batman fan who only had days left to live. A couple of days later, the Twitter account for Hospice Atlanta confirmed that the young boy received a FaceTime video call from Batman himself, Ben Affleck.

"Such a memorable day for Mukuta who’s a super Batman fan!," Hospice Atlanta tweeted. "He received a phone call from Ben Affleck today. Thanks to the widespread community support and helping us deliver on our mission: To Improve the Lives of Those We Serve." You can check out all of the relevant tweets below.

It's great to see DCEU actors like Zachary Levi and Ben Affleck work together for a great cause like this.

    This is a great example of the kind of article that goes in the "Culture" section of Batman News: https://batman-news.com/cat...

      I think you should probably check out some of the comments on this post. They're getting bad.

      If it's not front page here (which this was), it doesn't exist. I'm sure your hit counts largely back that up. (I'm not saying that those articles don't have value, because they do, but they seem to get much less traffic.)

            Khabib time! Although I have to admit, I'm rooting for the upset now. Just because Iaquinta is a New York guy and it's in Brooklyn. Plus with all the drama he's been through with the UFC. It'd be crazy if he won!

            Add to that the fact that today is the 11th anniversary of Matt Serra's (who happens to be Iaquinta's mentor) crazy upset over gsp! It'd indeed be crazy if Iaquinta got the W. I still can't root against Khabib though...

      Beautiful image choice. Much respect.

      I know we all have our differences here over Snyder or whatever, but it's nice that we can also be human together - as well as mutual fans in a broader sense together - sometimes. We may argue, but we can still share being emotionally moved by something.

      Batman is bigger than one debate, and our humanity is bigger than hating each other over opinions.

            Powerful? Not really. Popular?yes. Ben Affleck was a joke in Hollywood and was called one of the worst actors.

            "American woman at that time would do anything to get fame"

            It doesnt matter, if she was cool with it back then, own it, dont try to ride the wave 15 yrs later.

    This is a typical Batman-news post. Apparently Ben fulfilling a wish for a kid who....

    "...only had days left to live,"

    ...turned into a #metoo debate, Ben as Batman, some Snyder shit and American woman and Hollywood. Rank!

      It is truly disrepectful. Thankfully some of the comments you referred to have been deleted. This should be one of those rare occasions were we can all come together and find comfort in the fact that a dying boy got one of his biggest wishes fulfilled and could spend his last moments in this world a little happier, which should not result in more useless off- topic arguing.

    Oh man... if it was, god forbid, your kid that's dying and someone makes this kind of stupid joke, I wonder what would you feel and think of it. I doubt you would be this much inconsiderate.

    1. Rust Avatar

      Interesting and respectable point of view... still, I think this matter is sensitive enough, and the joke outside the cultural norm, to a point that I wouldn't have made the joke unless it was about myself.

      No hate intended, but expect some people to be upset.

    lol at the SJW's. It's humor guys. Lethargicj isn't making fun of the kid, they're making fun of the fact we just had that conversation not long ago. if anything, the joke elevates the kid to a super fan level. Get over yourselves. White knights doing it wrong taking offense for someone else... jeez
