Police give Johnny key to the city after he thwarts arch villains and zombies
Riding in the Batmobile, chasing the Riddler up the Sky Tower and saving Aotea Square from zombies have all been in a day's work for Johnny Jackson.
Johnny, now 9, was diagnosed with leukaemia when he was 4 years old. After 3 years of chemotherapy treatment he has recently entered remission. While he was sick, he made a wish to be a superhero.
