I just saw this on the news. It can't get much cooler than that! It's a shame they couldn't get a real Batmobile but whatever that car was,it was pretty cool looking.

He wouldn't appreciate the 60s Batmobile, and none from the movies really stand out (in my mind at least.) One would think one or two hecklers would hassle the kid about being late for halloween... |

Great story and I'm sure it was more than the kid dreamed for. That being said am I the only one that questions using that amount of resources on 1 kid? |

No. He's 5. You could have done 10% of that and he'd have been as happy. It's nice for the parents and everybody involved or hearing about it. |

That thought never crossed my mind but you know what? It's a great story and made a lot of people happy. It's nice to see something good in the News once in awhile. |

People donate to that charity so they could do stuff like this. @ least they don't waste the donations like other charities do. Good thing they didn't have this in Chicago, or the kid would've got something like this:

Apparently this cost SF over 100k. Was it money well spent? |

Yeah, that occured to me as well And not to sound like a horrible person, but the kid is in remission. When I heard this story I assumed it was a kid with months to live. Anyway, Im sure its a net positive |
