BRUCE. You don't eat Santa's milk and cookies. It's like, I dunno, tugging on Superman's cape or something.

Hey, they had a team-up in beating up some crooks. I think they're cool with it.

[perletwo]

In that case, they should make him wear the hat and beard first. :/

This was one of the stronger tales in this years holiday bash (the gimmick was "Silent Knight", so no words of any kind.)

[perletwo]

Oh - looking at the tags reminded me - do we know if it's supposed to be Bat!Bruce or Bat!Dick in this story?

[superfangirl1]

The story never really says,but I'm assuming it dick. My assumption could be completely wrong. :D

[perletwo]

My assumption was Bruce? But I think it's because Bruce always did some solo Batting, whereas Dick has been so joined at the hip to Damian since putting on the cowl. It's like he's BatmanAndRobin, not just Batman.

"shrugs* the story works beautifully either way you picture it, though.

Isn't the special all one night during a blizzard? I assumed it was supposed to be the Xmas of 2009. (And he is smiling and drinking hot chocolate there at the end. Would Bruce do that even for Santas? Maybe, I guess...)

[sailorlibra]

Batman 80-page Giant is all one night this year during a blizzard. This is from the Holiday Special, though, so it really could be any time.

I personally think it's Bruce, but that's just because I have a strong bias towards Batman = Bruce.

The belt has pouches on it like Bruce's, but unlike Dick's.

[zordboy]

Ah, Santa. Because nothing says festive or harmless like an obese bearded man who stinks of barnyard animals creeping into the bedrooms of sleeping children late at night, carrying a sack full of unspecified "toys".

That's not creepy at all.

[seriousfic]

Bedrooms?

[zordboy]

Well, for some families.

Chimneys are extremely rare in Australia, at the opposite end of the spectrum, thusly forcing parents to come up with some very creative adlibbing re: how he actually gets into the house.

But anyway.

[seriousfic]

And unspecified toys? Isn't it canon that the toys are things the kids ask for, via Mall Santas and sending letters to Santa Claus? If anything, they're super-specified. He even tells you what you're going to get if you're naughty: A lump of coal.

[lamashtar]

Did you know they make candy now in the shape of a lump of coal? So you can give your kid coal in his stocking? How wierd is it that I want some?

[seriousfic]

Raising your kid to associate naughtiness with delicious candy? Why not write a check to Mistress Leila now and get it over with?

[lamashtar]

But I meant for me.

[janegray]

"Now"? They've been making coal candy for decades.

I used to find it delicious (now I kinda find it too sweet), so I always asked my parents Santa for it ^^

[icon_uk]

He can phase through solid matter?

[psychopathicus_rex]

Reindeer are not 'barnyard animals'. They roam the wild tundra - you try sticking them into a barnyard, you get broken fences.

[retro_nouveau]

Heh, looks like Bruce has been eating a lot of cookies -- the yellow plate is brimming, and the two plates he can reach are not... Or maybe he's been stuffing them in his C-cups? XD

[sailorlibra]

Pffft. The Batman does not eat cookies. (Except for Alfred's super delicious chocolate chip ones.) Because cookies lead to a bat belly and bat bellies are not intimidating.

Clearly he's taking them home to feed to his bats. :] I don't care if bats don't eat cookies. They ought to.

[bariman]

Bruce's favorite cookies are Alfred's white chocolate and cranberry cookies. The chocolate chip run a close second for him, but are clearly number one for everyone else who gets to try them.

[psychopathicus_rex]

Wait a minute - who's the Santa in the Batman mask?
