Watch: Batkid gets his very own movie trailer in The Batkid Rises

We won't get to see the next big-screen Batman adventure until Ben Affleck dons the cape and cowl for the Man of Steel sequel currently scheduled to hit theaters in 2015. But anyone who doesn't want to wait that long can enjoy the heartwarming adventures of five-year-old Batkid, whose exploits have been turned into a trailer by YouTube user SandD2012 that recalls the one for 2012's The Dark Knight Rises.

If you missed last week's feel-good story, here's a quick rundown. "Batkid" is Miles Scott, a young boy who was diagnosed with leukemia when he was just 18 months old. (We're happy to report that his leukemia is currently in remission.) When Scott told the nonprofit Make-A-Wish Foundation that he "wished" to be Batman, the group turned San Francisco into Gotham City and organized a full day of crime-fighting, capped off by a ceremony in which Mayor Ed Lee honored his bravery with a key to the city. Scott later told CNN that his favorite part of the experience was "saving the world."

Batkid received support from several other men who have donned the cape and cowl, including Val Kilmer, who retweeted a message from Olivia Munn:

Ben Affleck, who offered his own endorsement:

And Christian Bale, who spoke warmly about the event in an interview with Vulture. "Wasn't that fantastic?" he said. "This little kid, oh my God — what a wonderful day for the little fella! It's just fantastic, seeing all those people who were out there to support it."

Batkid also earned both a tweet and a congratulatory Vine video from President Obama:

All in all, a successful day of crime-fighting for the young superhero.
