Batkid Miles Scott Inspires Mass Excitement: President Obama Sends "Way to Go" Message, Britney Spears & More Tweet Love

Though small acts of kindness are to be appreciated, there's nothing like an awesome, grandiose act of kindness, either!
The story of Batkid Miles Scott—a 5-year-old who is now in remission from leukemia and who, thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the city of San Francisco, got to live out his dream of helping the good citizens of Gotham for a day—has prompted a revelatory outpouring of excitement from all around the world—and that includes the White House.
"Way to go, Miles, way to save Gotham," President Barack Obama encouraged the real-life hero in a Vine video.
FLOTUS was of a similar mind as her husband, with Michelle Obama also tweeting: "Thanks for catching all those bad guys #SFBatKid! You're an inspiration to us all. -mo"
And the epic event that was Miles' day of fightin' crime and being absolutely adorable also inspired a massive, warm bear hug from the celebrity twitterverse. Here's a sampling of the joy that the image of Miles living his dream brought to so many:
Britney Spears Awww this makes me smile! Miles really is a superhero and inspiration to all
Olivia Munn "I love #Batkid. I'm cheering you on little man!!"
Zachary Levi: "Mind blown. Heart melted. Smile permanently glued to my face. Giant props to @MakeAWish and the city of SF. #BatKid"
Maria Bello: "We are cheering for you Batkid. #sfbatkid Watch his journey live! Such an incredible day for this special young boy."
Khloé Kardashian Odom: "Batkid is my hero!!! Tomorrow is never promised. You never know when you might be seeing someone for the last time. Set your pride aside and learn to be honest with those who deserve honesty as if tomorrow wasn't promised. I love you all. Stay in the NOW"

Chris Hemsworth: Give Scarlett Johansson Her Own Superhero Movie—Right Now!

Scarlett Johansson, Black Widow, AvengersMarvel/Disney Enterprises
Move over, Superman! Get out of the way, Iron Man! Scram, Batman!
It's time for a female superhero movie!
But who should it be?
What better place to get some suggestions than at this week's Hollywood premiere of Thor: The Dark World.
She-HulkMarvel
"I'd live to see a Black Widow movie," Thor star Chris Hemsworth said, referring to the kick ass S.H.I.E.L.D agent played by Scarlett Johansson in the Avengersmovies. "I think it will [happen]. It has to. We'll rally for it. We'll get it started."
Thor's Loki, Tom Hiddleston, agreed. "That would be amazing," he said. "Scarlett would really bring the thunder on that."
No surprise, but Wonder Woman was also a popular suggestion.
And then there were a couple of unexpected picks. "I think Silver Sable could be really cool," Zachary Levi said. "Unfortunately, there isn't a giant built-in audience for that because Silver Sable was sort of a smaller comic. But I think it could be one that people could really enjoy."

"She-Hulk!" Kat Dennings said. "She-Hulk is pretty amazing.
"There are so many fantastic female superheroes to choose from," she said. "It is time and I'm sure it's already in the pipeline."
Fingers-crossed.
"I would really like to see it happen," Jaimie Alexander said. "I think there's a need for it. I think young women would like to look up to somebody strong and not have the movie dominated by a male character."
Alan Taylor, director of Thor: The Dark World, thinks a female superhero movie is "coming very soon."
He said, "I have two daughters. They love these movies but they should really have someone they could relate to."
Amen.
