Earlier this week, Shazam star Zachary Levi put up the “Bat Signal” for Ben Affleck after he saw a tweet about a young Batman fan who only had days left to live. A couple of days later, the Twitter account for Hospice Atlanta confirmed that the young boy received a FaceTime video call from Batman himself, Ben Affleck.
“Such a memorable day for Mukuta who’s a super Batman fan!,” Hospice Atlanta tweeted. “He received a phone call from Ben Affleck today. Thanks to the widespread community support and helping us deliver on our mission: To Improve the Lives of Those We Serve.” You can check out all of the relevant tweets below.

I don’t have an official Bat Signal, but I’ll boost this for all its worth. @BenAffleck, this lil dude could really use some caped crusading right about now. 🙏 @jimmykimmel https://t.co/j1aNoKINWm

Not all heroes wear capes. Though, coincidentally, some do. 🤗 Bravo, @BenAffleck. And continued prayers for Mukuta. 🙏 https://t.co/ZWTpzDqsM2
