Friday Night Fights: Trimming the Tree!
November 30, 2007 | Posted by Chris Sims
WINNER: Batman
And just to throw a little extra coal in the stocking, have some post-fight humiliation:
Even Bahlactus thought that was unnecessary!
Tonight’s Bat-themed Yuletide fisticuffs can be found in Denny O’Neil, Irv Novick, and Dick Giordano’s “Silent Night, Deadly Night,” from the treasury-sized Christmas With The Super-Heroes #1.

“Bush leaue?” He totally hit you with a pine tree, if anything…
You know what, I don’t even find that funny. Never mind.
Seriously, the insult was not only uncalled for, it seems inapt, given the way he was knocking Bats around the first few panels.
Batman’s actually pretty lucky he wasn’t gored by that blue spruce – proving yet again that x-mas trees are a criminal’s best friend in a pinch.
Suddenly, Combat!
It sounds like it might make a good greeting instead of “Good Morning”
So remember, folks: when you’re debating what to get Batman for Christmas:
He just wants a thug.
I’d read more newspapers if they had a “Suddenly… News!” masthead.
Damn, now I have Batman singing a duet with Olivia Newton-John in my head:
“You’re the thug that I want, you’re the thug that I want, ooo ooo ooo.”
I wonder if Denny O’Neil actually scripts every one of those scenes where Batman snaps his head back…
That “Snap!” in the second panel should be changed to “Oh, Snap!”
D’oh! That’s what I get for not reading the mouse-overs first.
…Dude might not have a bum knee if he laid off the Shining Wizards for awhile.
He should stick to using green mist and the odd Muta Lock for awhile.
