"Holiday Knights" (conclusion)
One thing I forgot to add---okay, last Saturday, at 11:30 pm my time on Cartoon Network, during a Christmas special, they showed a great episod of Batman: The Animated Series. It was called "Holiday Knights," the reason for my subject in the past two entries.
"Holiday Knights" is by far one of the best episodes I've seens so far. It's a series of four stories. The first (and longest; it's half the show by itself) is December 22, just a few days before Christmas. Harley and Ivy are hiding out in a cheap hotel. Harley's depressed because there's no Christmas spirit. She asks Ivy if they can at least get a Christmas tree.
"What?! And support the genocide that accomulates this country every December?!"
Ivy. Total plant freak. Go figure. Anyway, Harley begs and pleads, even when Ivy stuffs a pillow over her mouth. Ivy has other plans...
Basically, Ivy zaps Bruce Wayne at this holiday party with her special lipstick so he obeys her and Harley and takes them on a shopping spree.
"Whopee! Race ya to the shoe department, Red!"
"You're on!"
Harley and Ivy model lots of different outfits (a couple a tad short for my tastes), clear out perfumes and jewelry, and make Bruce Wayne pay for it all. At one point, Harley points a tree.
"Pleeeeeeease?"
"No!"
Eventually, though, the lipstick wears off. When Harley moves to give him another dose, Bruce falls back into the elevator.
"OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! (changed slightly because otherwise it'd be taking the Lord's name in vain) We...we killed him. *moment of silence* Oh well."
"We were going to do it anyway."
"We got his credit cards, what's to worry?"
Sadly, as Harls and Ivy walks away, we dsee a black-gloved hand. Apparently, bruce had taken advantage of the darkness to change to Batman. So anyway, Harley and Ivy are in this limo, then harley notices Batman, both girls scream, and Ivy makes the chauffer drive into a toy store. The limo crashes and the two vixens escape inside, with Batman right behind them.
So Batman goes in and walks around with a flashlight, looking for the two women, when this giant plastic soldier falls off this Christmas column with movable features in and on it.
"I bet you've been a good little Bat boy this year. Unfortunately, Harley and I are still on the naughty list."
"Come up here and get your present!"
So Batman climbs up this pillar of toys to the top, where Ivy punches him with a boxing glove (a real one, not Harley's).
"Merry Christmas, darling!"
Batman falls down two stories, where on of the moving features is. There's this plastic man with a mallet. The feature turns until Harley with her mallet is there.
"And a happy new year, chump!"
Bang! Batman gets knocked clean over the head and falls onto a pile of toys below. Harley and Ivy jump down.
"Gee, Harley, you broke our new toy!"
"Bye-bye, Batsy!"
Well, Batman is in a daze, but he fires some bat-rope-hook-thingy at the base of a Christmas tree about the same height as the pillar, and pulls. The tree topple towards harley and Ivy. They scream and Harley jumps into Ivy's arms and the tree falls on them. Batman walks up and they're pinned down, elbows on the ground, cheeks in their hands.
"Well, here's your stupid tree! You happy?"
"...Yeah..."
And then an ornament falls on her head. There's a commercial break (:P) and then the next sequence.
It's December 24 now, and basically, Bullock and Montoya are posing as Sant and an elf, to stay undercover for these shoplifting boys who turn out to be Clayface. Batgirl arrives and kicks him out the window of the mall, and he lands in the ice-skating pond. Bullock and Montoya shoot at the Santa fugre and Christmas lights. The lights meet the water, Clayface gets electrocuted and is knocked unconscious, and Bullock gets to recover the evidence from inside him. Personally, I found this piece kinda dumb.
Story number three: New Year's Eve with the Joker!
"Hi-ho, couch potatoes! I'm interrupting the Tooilet Bowl to bring you my special New Year's resolution. *ahem* I, your loving Uncle Joker solemnly swear not to kill anyone for the next year, so I'll have to move extra fast to bump off a few more of you today! *hysterical laughter*"
Well, Batman figures he'll be in Gotham Square for the countdown, and sure enough, he find him there...along with a bunch of people in Joker masks, so he's hard to spot at first. The Joker himself is playing something on the piano, while his henchmen make sure this sonic bomb is set up. The bomb, when it goes off, will kill everyone in earshot, unless they're wearing these special earmuff-things.
J and his men are wearing the earmuffs (of course) and lo and behols, Batman and Robin arrive. batman uses a Bat-a-rang to knock off J's headphones, before he and Robin battle J's henchmen and knock off theirs. Well, Joker uses this metal bucket that hold champagne to hit Batman over the head.
"That champagne went right to your head!"
Well, he goes to open the bottle, and Batman bumps his arm as he pops the cork, so the cork goes into his eye. While Joker's distracted, Batman grabs the bottle and sprays the champagne over the bomb to defuse it. Joker shoots at Batman, getting only his arm. Well, when the bomb was defused, this giant bell that was being lifted for New year's disconnects and falls on Joker. All but one arm is safely inside.
"Happy New year!"
People throw their masks in the air and cheer.
The final story (I consider it a story even though it's only 2 min) is where Commisioner Gordon and Batman meet in this one diner as a New year's tradition. They have coffee and toast their survival throughout the year.
"How's your arm?"
"Better than the Joker's."
:P to Batman...anyway, Gordon makes an order to go, then turns to Batman, only to find Batman has paid for the coffee and left already.
"One of these days I'm going to beat hm to the check."
He leaes the diner, Batman swings by on his bat-rope, and then we end with snow and a full moon.
Lovely episode that one was. I'm trying to decide if this one or "Joker's Millions" is funnier,t hough, lol. Well, that was my random rambling for the moment. There's more to come. See ya!
