-------BATMAN. THE ANIMATED SERIES (1992)------
Season 1. 38th Episode
--------------Christmas with the Joker.--------------
FUNNY! AND NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT´S A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!!!!!!!
Before Batman and Robin leave the Bat-Cave to make their daily patrol on Christmas Eve, Robin insists that they should have Christmas Dinner and watch "It´s A Wonderful Life". Batman says:
"""You know? I have never seen that. I could never get past the title""""
Some plots like the one of BATMAN: The Animated Series make you laugh not because their main or secondary characters are making any joke but because (like in this case) they happen to perfectly describe one of them in just a second.
After a failed patrol, in which an apparent theft attempt was only a guy running to give an old grandma a present she dropped two squares behind, Batman seems to still be reluctant to stop working for one night. Robin says:
"""He could give lessons to Scrooge""""
In essence, Robin doesn´t want to work on Christmas and says Batman that even the villains are going to be out, celebrating. Batman on the other side, is worried because the Joker just escaped from his cell in the prison-asylum of Arkham.
When Robin and Alfred finally seem to have convinced Batman to relax and watch TV while the goose is ready, on TV the voice of the Joker says
"- "It´s a Wonderful Life" will not be seen this year, in it's place it´s this..... ....Batman, I hope you are watching ´cause I have a very special surprise for you. -"
Between other surprises, The Joker has caught Summer Gleeson, Commissioner Gordon and Detective Bullock and set a lot of traps all along Gotham...Batman and Robin, being Batman and Robin, we can be sure they will catch the Joker and his accomplices before any of the hostages get hurt...but I really want them to come back to the Wayne´s Manor to taste Alfred´s dinner; his curriculum says he is a world-class chef and they could even maybe borrow a copy of "It´s a wonderful life" after the mission, from one of the three grateful hostages recently rescued.
