Batman's Great Escapes Month, Day 21: No one would have believed in the last years of the twentieth century...

...that superhuman affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No-one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they snuck out of Commissioner Gordon's office.

Bully's back and you're gonna get some chocolate*

Here I am and I'm back again! I send you all apologies for the personal, sociological, meteorological, and entomological emergencies which have kept me away for a few days. Also, I've been very busy with the negotiations for my new major motion picture.



If you look over your shoulder and peek backwards, however, you'll find that 366 Days with Alfred Pennyworth has been brought up to date, and regular content continues tomorrow. (Unless that comet falls on us.)

Until then, please enjoy J'onn J'onnz fighting fruit.
