Con l’aiuto di circa 12mila volontari, per un pomeriggio la città di San Francisco è stata trasformata in Gotham City per esaudire il desiderio di un piccolo fan di Batman di cinque anni, Miles, colpito dalla leucemia. La Make-A-Wish Foundation ha orchestrato in un intera giornata in cui il piccolo Batkid ha combattuto il crimine per tutta la città.
La giornata è cominciata con Batkid, mentre si allena con Batman, che riceve la richiesta di aiuto del capo della polizia di San Francisco, per risolvere dei crimini.
