One week ago, 5-year-old Miles Scott captured the hearts and eyes of the world, when the Make-A-Wish Foundation turned San Francisco into Gotham City for one glorious day, and Miles became Batkid. He fought the bad guys, saved Gotham, and our hearts collectively grew three times their size.
Now there’s a fan-made trailer for a fictional film called Batkid Rises, via YouTube‘s SandD2012, to make you choke up all over again. They even nail the Christopher Nolanesque aesthetic in the opening sequence.
Apparently Hans Zimmer, the maestro behind Inception and The Dark Knight Rises, wrote a theme song for Batkid, which has yet to be released. All the pieces for a full-fledged Batkid Rises movie are falling into place, but in the meantime, the Internet has given us this reminder of the power of good over evil.
