"Batkid"
The Batkid story is really cool! It's nice to see something like this. (Seriously. Take a look at the link.)
(Tip of the cap to Zach Rosenfield for suggesting a googling of "Batkid" on Facebook.)
Update: OK, this story has gotten even cooler! In fact, it is now particularly awesome, as the US Justice Department is now playing along in a very cool way. As you can see, "The Riddler" and "The Penguin" have surely done some hideous crimes, though I think that their attempt to convert Lou Seal into a Los Angeles Dodgers fan is not only forgivable but even laudable, and I would therefore encourage the Justice Department to give them leniency because of that redeeming bit of behavior amidst what were otherwise heinous crimes. (Another hat tip to Zach for the link to the Justice Department website above.)
