CGiii Comment
It's a sweet little film that could have been a better short. It goes on and on and on and on...too much self-congratulatory back-patting.
As for LGBT interest...well, it's only here because GLAAD included it on their Studio Responsibility Index - what a joke that's become!

On November 15, 2013, the world came together to grant one 5-year-old leukemia patient his wish to be Batman for a day. 'Batkid Begins' looks at why and how this phenomenon took place, becoming one of the biggest 'good news' stories of all time.
In this documentary, the city of San Francisco and the Make-A-Wish Foundation team up to turn the city into Gotham for a day to fulfill the wish of a dying child, who wants to become Batman’s sidekick for a day. The film included a passing appearance by a lesbian couple with their own children at the parade celebrating Batkid. Though the moment was brief, it was positive nonetheless to include LGBT-led families, which are still all too rare in film.
Including this film is utterly ridiculous. The lesbian couple...blink and you'll miss them. And, what about the camp chap in the wardrobe department?!?
This Studio Responsibility Index is an utter farce.
