It's no secret that Batkid saved San Francisco – the little guy also made his way into hearts around the world. The Make A Wish foundation certainly changed the life of Miles, but also showed the world that a little kindness and generosity can truly bring people together. Obama thanked him for saving Gotham. And Christian Bale said "I looked on the news and I saw this headline and thought, 'What's that?' And I saw all the pictures of him running around and saving people. It's so touching." Videos and pictures are popping up like wildfire across the internet, onlookers posting their favorite moments or fans simply retweeting the awesomeness that was Batkid. Below, the world of comics celebrates and rejoices Batkid for his bravery (and cuteness). Because, let's be honest – a 5 year old who conquered cancer is a true hero:

City of San Francisco & what they did for #Batkid? One of the many reasons of why I love this Country :)

The Cast of Arrow shows Batkid some love:

No crime left to fight. Thanks #BatKid https://t.co/P708He9hUC

I can't read too much of the Batkid story, or I start sobbing like a baby. (Still on drugs.)

I have a bunch of work to do, but I'm sitting here bawling while I watch #Batkid rescue the SF Giants Seal and capture the Penguin.

Oh man. Just reading about #BatKid. I think I must have something in my eye.

#Batkid makes me smile and tear up every time I think of him.

Batkid has not only saved the day, but he has reminded each of us that heroes come in all sizes. My heart thanks you #SFBatKid @MakeAWish

Oh, just sitting here tearing up over the Batkid story. Good thing I don't have to write anything cynical for at least a day or two.

I would rather watch a Batkid movie/doc than 6 of the last 7 Batman movies. :)

Sweet mercy–this whole story has me teared up. http://t.co/MuFgQNj6B5 #batkid

And to think I was actually worried about the turnout for #Batkid. pic.twitter.com/KuAo9Ms2Zu

Feel bad that I laughed. RT @nealbrennan I think the worst part of the Batkid thing was killing his parents in front of him to add realism.
