“Christmas With The Joker” does a great job of showing the craziness of The Joker. Combine that with the already crazy Christmas season and things get dangerous for Batman and Robin as they deal with the mad man himself. It’s dark, humorous, and dangerous and that makes for all the perfect aspects of not only a great Batman: The Animated Series episode, but a great Batman story.

Official Description:
The Joker escapes from Arkham Asylum in order to host his own deadly TV Christmas Special. He holds the Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Bullock and Summer Gleeson hostage as he plays cat and mouse with Batman and Robin.

Join us tomorrow for another classic holiday episode of Batman: The Animated Series and let us know what you thought of “Christmas With The Joker.”
