Chronicle will print special editions for ‘Batkid’ flashmob

[arcane1]

The San Francisco Chronicle will produce special-edition “Gotham City Chronicle” newspapers as the city transforms for 5-year-old cancer patient Miles on Friday.

About 1,000 newspapers will be handed out at Union Square as people gather for the ‘Batkid’ Make-A-Wish event. Batman-fan Miles will battle crime around San Francisco, nabbing the Riddler and the Penguin, before receiving a key to the city from Mayor Ed Lee.

8. I'll be at city hall to watch batkid get the key to the city.

It will be made out of Ghirardelli chocolate, of course! Almost 10,000 of us signed up as volunteers for the event.

15. Just got home from the presentation of the key to the city.

The chocolate key is by Tcho, not by Ghirardelli. The crowd at city hall was huge, and Miles figured out that every time he raised his bat arm in victory, we all went wild. It was adorable! Miles' little brother was dressed as Robin.

All in all, it was a great way celebrate a brave little kid!
