The story of young Miles Scott captured FTN’s (and everyone else’s) heart in November 2013 – the story of a five-year-old boy with in remission leukemia who wanted to become Batman and how 25,000 people joined the Make-A-Wish people in making San Franciso into Gotham to give a sick child his dream day.
It’s an inspiring story that never ceases to make me think what we are capable of when we come together and imagine the world we could create if we all just realised this. Anyway, I digress…
The Batkid story is now coming to cinemas next month in selected cinemas and then everywhere in July.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
