Four for you, J.J. Watt—you go, J.J. Watt!

The 26-year-old  Houston Texans defensive end recently surprised kids at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston during its Spirit of Halloween event and showed up dressed up as Batman!

In a video that aired on NBC News' Weekend TODAY show on Sunday, the NFL player is seen putting on the caped crusader's raspy voice while hanging out with the kids, posing for photos, signing autographs, decorating a pumpkin for Halloween and high-fiving a little boy near a foosball table.

"I know what it's like to be a fan," he says. "I know what it's like to be a kid who looks up to football players and I just want to be that guy that parents can point to and say, 'He does it the right way.'"

Watt has long been giving back to those in need. He is the founder of the J.J. Watt Foundation, which provides after-school opportunities for junior high school-aged children to become involved in athletics.
