A cast of characters from comic books worked to fight grime on the side of Children's Hospital and Medical Center Monday.

Once each year, window washers from Fisher Building Services go to the hospital to do their usual jobs, while wearing colorful costumes.


Alex, 5, donned his Batman shirt and socks before he even knew he'd be meeting his hero. He said he left a sign in his window with a special message for the Caped Crusader.

"They're going to wipe my window and they're going to see it," he said.

Batman, or the man dressed up portraying him, said just seeing the kids smile makes his day. "They don't choose to be here," he said.

Not everyone wanted an up-close-and-personal meet and greet, though.

"It takes them a minute to warm up to us," one of the employees said. "We kind of scare them sometimes."
