A Batman Christmas
It was nearing Christmas time in Gotham city. It was snowing, the streets were filled with Christmas decorations and everyone was having fun. However, there was one person who thought differently of Christmas
That person was Bruce Wayne, or Batman. He did not celebrate Christmas. In fact, he did not like it at all, because he did not see what the point of it was. Besides, he had more important things to do, such as keeping Gotham safe from all of the criminals.
When it came to Christmas, he did not do anything to celebrate. He did not have the Christmas spirit in him. When all the other Justice League members celebrated at Christmas, Batman was not there with them. Same went with the Bat-family. Batman did not celebrate Christmas with them at all. However, this Christmas was going to be different….
Batman was in the Batcave, checking to see if there was any trouble going on in the streets. He then turned around to see Alfred walk up to him with a tray of snacks.
"Thanks, Alfred" said Batman
"No worries, Master Bruce" said Alfred "Besides that, I need to ask you something"
"What is it?" Bruce responded
"You've been down here for a while now. Shouldn't you come out or something? Besides, it is Christmas and you should get ready for it"
"I can't, Alfred" said Bruce "Nightfall is coming, and that is when the criminals come out. Protecting Gotham from crime is more important than Christmas"
"You could at least write the Justice League and the family some Christmas cards and get them some presents, Sir"
"Alfred, I don't celebrate Christmas. I made a promise to protect this city from the crime and evil. I can worry about Christmas some other time."
Alfred sighed "I give up, Sir. If you find your Christmas spirit, then let me know" He then walked out of the Batcave back up to Wayne Manor.
Bruce felt bad at what he said, but he could worry about that some other time. A few days ago, he had to deal with a bunch of criminals, who were terrorising Christmas shoppers and stealing stuff from them. One time, they even took a shopping centre hostage, along with a bunch of Christmas shoppers. Batman easily dealt with them. He was also relieved that all of his enemies from the Rouges gallery were tightly locked away in Arkham. There would be no trouble on Christmas.
Bruce went up to the living room of Wayne Manor, where there was a huge Christmas tree in the corner along with decorations and the roasting fire. Bruce remembered when he celebrated Christmas with his parents before they were killed in crime alley. Because of that he no longer liked Christmas.
When he saw a Christmas movie on the TV, which showed Santa delivering all of the Christmas presents to the children, an idea came up in the billionaires head.
"Maybe I should celebrate Christmas. It does not seem like a bad thing, and maybe I should be like Santa, giving all of the children presents" Bruce thought about this for a while.
It was hard to decide about celebrating Christmas. Bruce did not celebrate it, and he was also a vigilante. However, that program did have something special to Christmas, and Bruce could not just let Christmas in Gotham pass without its protector celebrating it.
Then, he decided that on Christmas Eve, Batman was going to bring presents to all of Gotham, as a gift from him to them. Batman was going to spread the Christmas spirit….
