Search On For Batman

Patricia wrote a mail to stunt actor and tech whiz Eric “EJ” Johnston if he would like to play the part of older Batman? When Sue, wife of Eric got the mail she said she has no option but to take up the role of damsel in distress.

Finding Location

EJ thought that they would have their part of the adventure in a park. However, there was something else going on the mind of Miles’ parents. They wanted their son to see the world outside their small town so they came up with another mind-blowing idea. They decided on taking him to San Francisco. But was it going to be easy to have his wish come true without having any known in the city?

San Francisco’s Finest Volunteers

Patricia got on the work immediately. She sent emails to important position holders of San Francisco. You must be wondering why was she doing this? Well, the little Batkid needed his own Gotham to go on the adventure and in order to build Gotham the consent and support of key profile individuals were needed. Surprisingly, everyone she approached was more than happy to participate in this unique project.

Making It Real

EJ, on the other hand, was very excited about this project. To make the experience feel more real for Miles he designed a glove that projected images, similar to Batman. Everything was going according to plan and they were moving fast pace towards Batkid’s special day. But who was going to be Batkid’s villain?

The Perfect Bad Guy

Patricia had never thought it would be so easy. The only part that posed a bit of problem was finding out the right villain. Joker was the first choice that came to their mind but he would have been too scary for the 5-year-old boy that is why they settled for Riddler and the Penguin.

Volunteers Required

They had to recruit more volunteers. Mike Jutan who was roped in to play the role of Penguin put out a post on his Facebook about their plan. His word soon reached the world and then something happened that was not expected.
