DCU Holiday Special

[lipsofpoison.insanejournal.com]

As requested by ladymirth, scans from last years DC Holiday Special.



In A Day Without Sirens, there are posters up advertising a day without guns, knives, etc. Despite Jim Gordon's complete disbelief, there are 24 hours without a single 911 call and a downtrodden Jim is much cheerier when he meets Batman, who seems quite happy himself.









In It's a Wonderful Night, Dick runs into trouble while trying to hand deliver a special present for Tim. He then discovers Tim with Owen Mercer at a showing of 'It's A Wonderful Life'.









In The Night Before Christmas, the Teen Titans take a christmas break and go hang out. Tim is a bit emo and he and Cassie reflect at Rockerfeller Centre.









In Party Animal, John Stewart (Green Lantern) and Roy Harper (Red Arrow), are late for the Christmas party, which even Batman is attending. They bring Shaggy Man along to give S.T.A.R labs a break, who gets spooked by the singing. Let's face it, you would too. It all ends with a good partying.

Thanks for putting them up!

Huh. Not what I was expecting. The first two look promising (OMG, BATS CAN MAKE JOKES!), but um, Robin and Owen Mercer watching "It's A Wonderful Life" together? (What, they couldn't catch it on TV?) THAT was Captain Boomerang's favourite movie? Wat? It's like some sort of super-cheesy and bizzare fanfic.

Love the colors on the TT one. Although, is Tim supposed to be that much shorter than Cassie? He looks downright tiny.

The JLA one is precious! Beware Dinah's fruitcake! THEY HAVE A DISCOBALL! Wonder Woman bumpin' hips with Hairy guy! DINAH AND ZEE COMPARING FISHNETS!

Wait...who's Arsenal snogging?

I think it was Tim missing his Dad and wanting to be close to him, so he goes to a mostly empty movie theatre late at night to watch it and happens to run into Owen. While the favourite movie thing is cheesy as hell, I think it just about pulls together because it's Christmas and because it's meant to rot your teeth. Plus, it's nice to see Dick giving Tim one of his Robin suits, as he did it with Jason. It's a nice little tradition, especially with Tim's feelings on Robin in general.

Tim, I think, it actually pretty small. Not as small as depicted here, but I believe he's about 5'6", though don't quote me on it.

I loved Dinah and Zee dancing together.

Kendra (Hawkgirl). They were dating, I believe. He did say "pretty bird" when he saw her, which I found very funny.

At first, the thought of Boomerbutt loving IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE filled me with WTF too... but the more I think about it, the more I love the idea. Even sleezy skeezeballs can have a nugget of gooey sentimentality buried in their slimy hearts.

Why is Batman hanging out with Stan Lee?

[statham1986.insanejournal.com]

Stan doubles as Commissioner Gordon and/or my Grandfather, dependant upon what pair of glasses he's wearing.

Somehow, the panel with Amy telling Eddie to drop dead endears her even more to me, even though I really wonder how she stays on the team with her attitude.

Wally and Peej dancing together is hilarious.

[lieut_kettch.insanejournal.com]

Well, they're old JLI teammates. Just like Booster and Bea dancing off on the other side of the panel.

I love the Teen Titans story. That art is gorgeous! Loved that Cassie was so much taller than Tim (I think this was the first time I liked her in a long time...) very cute. Jealous Eddie was funny, and I felt bad for him, but yay for Miss Martian giving him a kiss. Squee! It cemented me into a Eddie/M'ghan fan.

Is Supes asking Batman for a dance? :D

[superfan1.insanejournal.com]

I like to think so, but batman playing the "I have two feet routine on him":P

[besamim.insanejournal.com]

For some reason my favorite panel is the one with the League members gearing up to take out Shaggy. "Why I oughta...!"

[werehawk.insanejournal.com]

Now if I can just get someone to post pages from Kyle's story from last year's DCU Halloween Special.

Please?

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

That is my absolute favorite Teen Titan story, bar none.

[kingrockwell]

Oh I love this issue so much, especially Babs' present to Jim (they are my two favorite Bat-characters, bar none). Zee and Dinah comparing fishnets has always been a fantastic visual gag, too!

[ladymirth.insanejournal.com]

I forgot to ask: what did Babs and Supergirl do to make Gotham crime-free for 24 hours?

[faile_neume.insanejournal.com]

They re-routed all the 911 calls to Oracle and Kara took care of any crimes. It was called "Siren Free Day" or something like that, it was supposed to be the Gotham community being nice to each other for the sake of the cops but it was just Babs and Kara taking care of anything that happened.

[faile_neume.insanejournal.com]

As much as I love the Teen Titans one, it seems weird to me that Tim will happily hang around with a RED DUDE and Cassie with her lasso without his mask on. Aren't Bats more paranoid about that sort of thing? Tim wasn't allowed to show Young Justice his face for ages.

I approve of Tim's coat though, it is quite lovely.

[lipsofpoison.insanejournal.com]

This was only last Christmas, so it's all pretty recent. So at that point, I think he's been seen without his mask before.

[toasty_fresh.insanejournal.com]

I really dislike the ending to the first one. It's so . . . lame.

[lipsofpoison.insanejournal.com]

I love it, personally. Explaining that Gotham even exhausts Supergirl.

[sistermagpie.insanejournal.com]

I think my favorite moment in this is Shag's considering returning a gift for store credit.

[salamangkiero.insanejournal.com]

STAINS. My brain totally went there. Bleach time!

[strangething.insanejournal.com]

Now all I need is a copy of that last scan big enough to use as wallpaper.

That would make my life complete, I think.

[angel_gidget]

Good Lord, how do I not have this?

From the Tim-Owen-Dick moment to Tim and Cassie being naive yet hopeful, this ish seems right up my alley. I really feel the need to scour the globe for it now.
