Batkid Begins (aka Batkid Begins: The Wish Heard Around the World) is a real-life story about how, on November 15, 2013, the world came together to grant 5-year-old leukemia patient Miles Scott his wish to be Batman for a day. The film looks at why and how this phenomenon took place, becoming one of the biggest “good news” stories of all time.
The lad’s wish was to become Batkid, and so was partnered up with an adult Batman (not in that sense!) in order to go around town sorting out all the baddies.
Batkid Begins is released in the US on June 26th, but doesn’t yet have a UK release date. I expect this will be a DVD-only release as it’s very much a “TV movie”, not something for which you’ll flock to the cinema.
