    This is truly awesome. Love how so many people got together to make this a reality and that even more are playing along and having fun following the kid.

    This is amazing. The DOJ announces charges against the Penguin and Riddler after their capture by Batkid:

    This thing is so universally beloved, the only thing left is for Slate to write that it sucked.

    The letterhead on the indictment is awesome. The fact there's a PDF of the indictment is awesome.

    I saw Brenda Starr and Lois Lane had bylines in the Chronicle, too. Who is Perry White?

    Bring back the "restoring faith in humanity thread."

    If I was on Twitter, LTL, I would steal that and tweet the shit out of it. Because it is gold.

    I read somewhere that the SF Chronicle received so many requests for the mock front page, they're gonna print it tomorrow.
