Thought this was cute, after earlier depressing news stories.

MILTON, W.Va. -- Who says superheroes aren't real?

When a West Virginia home caught fire, trapping a kitten inside, it was Batman and Captain America who came to the rescue.

John Buckland, dressed as Batman, and Troy Marcum, dressed as Captain America, saw smoke at a house nearby when they were entertaining children as part of their business. They ran to the house along with another bystander, kicked in the door and broke out a window so some smoke could escape.

Buckland, a former firefighter, says he crawled into the front room and felt something furry. He grabbed the animal, ran outside and gave it mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

No one was hurt in the fire, including the rescuers - though Buckland says the cat hissed and swatted at him when it regained consciousness.

I can't think of a better reason for a DC Marvel crossover.

That sounded like a terrible idea until I read at least the guy is a former fireman.

Good thing the cat didn't do this to him. Its been years and this kills me every time. NitaX tell the truth is this Skittles?

Superman also stepped in earlier this week when Wonderwoman was attacked in Hollywood:
