Dear Justice League,

It's Halloween today.

Oh yeah baby!

And you know what that means?

I get to go to stranger's doors and demand sweet payment for my cool outfit.

And you know what my costume is?

I'm Batman, baby!

And look, I don't want anyone to be jealous that I dressed up as good ol' Bats for Halloween because I love all of you equally. Except I like Bats a little more.

Now, I'm supposed to leave with Uncle so we can go trick or treating. He's even screaming, "Do you want candy or not?!"

But I'll continue writing later when I come home. I'll even use the squiggly symbols that good writers use to separate time.

Okie dokie my wonderful dudettes and brethren, I'm back!

But something weird happened while I was walking home with Uncle. Like super Aqua-Man level weird!

You see, I was walking home with my bag full of treats from Mr. Hutcherson's house when I got that weird feeling on the back of my neck. The kind you get when you think someone's watching you.

Uncle and I were just walking past this spooky alley, and yeah, it was pretty gnarly. I'm talking like with rats, trash cans, and everything else you would find in a dark alley. Totally the kind of alley way the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would come from.

But anyway, we were walking past the alley and I get the weird feeling on my neck. So I turn around and you know what I saw! A flipp'in shadow man staring me straight into my eyes!

And I'm not just making this up in one of my tall tales okay? I could swear on my special edition Justice League action figures that this guy was the real deal!

So I pulled Uncle into the alley to prove that their was a man watching me and guess what happened? No flipp'in shadow man was in there!

Uncle just brushed me off, but I know someone's out there watching me.

But at least I know Batman will protect me. (Sorry Superman, your still my second favorite).

Yours Truly,

William J. Batson

P.S. I thought about this on the way home to distract myself.

Dear Space Aliens,

Why do you want Earth so much? And why can't we all just be friends? I thought I couldn't be friends with an alien, but I have to say that I'm pretty tight with Martian Manhunter. That's right angry space men! I said it! Martian Manhunter is my friend! Go ask him!

Actually, don't go ask him. I don't think he thinks we're friends yet...
