Christmas with the Joker

On Christmas Eve, the Joker breaks out of Arkham Asylum on a rocket powered Christmas tree. He takes over Gotham's airwaves in order to deliver his own twisted take on the Christmas special, "Christmas with the Joker." With the lives of hostages hanging in the balance, Batman and Robin race against time to stop the Joker's fiendish scheme. This episode is pretty fun but it is definitely not one of the better episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. That said, even a mediocre episode featuring Mark Hamill's Joker is still worth a watch. Also, I've always loved when Batman tells Robin that he's never seen It's a Wonderful Life. "I could never get past the title," he says. Classic.
