(CNN) -- Bruce Wayne would never stand for BatKid getting cut from the Oscars, and the Internet hasn't either. Rumor has it that the March 2 Oscars ceremony was supposed to include 5-year-old Miles Scott, aka "BatKid," but didn't due to rumored tension between the show's producers and "The Amazing Spider-Man" star Andrew Garfield. Now the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is supplying an explanation. "Due to the nature of a live show, hard decisions sometimes must be made," a statement from the Academy says. And those difficult decisions, the statement continues, "require the Academy to cut segments due to the logistics of production."
