Batman: The Animated Series – “Holiday Knights”
Original airdate 9/13/97
I love Christmas. I love Batman. Thus, when Batman celebrates Christmas, it matches my interests almost perfectly. The only way to improve that scenario is to have Batman fight a bear on Christmas.
As a historical note, this episode introduces the new character designs for the long-running series. It’s like a Christmas present for our eyes!
This episode presents three short holiday vignettes. On December 22, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn find themselves looking for some fun. They ambush Bruce Wayne at a Christmas party and use Ivy’s mind control powers to force him to take them shopping. That’s right. No ransom, no robbery – they want Bruce Wayne to buy them stuff.
