The Rabbit Season joke is appropriate given Batman's crossover with Elmer Fudd! Now I'm imagining Batman & Elmer teaming up to hunt down the White Rabbit for being the true mastermind behind ONE-FACE!

[@LordVanOskuro]

Ok, why does Bruce keep vampire bats? Why not fruit bats? Fruit bats are 3x bigger and stronger than vampires, and they don't attack for no reason... Though they do have a habit of pretending to be vampires in order to scare fruit vendors and steal fruit.

[@eliburry-schnepp6012]

Those aren't vampire bats, vampires drink from SLEEPING prey and rarely kill. The only bats that hunt like that are false vampire bats. Which are not native to the US...

[@LordVanOskuro]

So why are they attacking random animals though? As far as I know, bats go after bugs, blood, or fruit.

[@eliburry-schnepp6012]

Spectral or false vampire bats of the species Vampyrum spectrum eat small animals like fish, lizards, rodents, etc. Though it's not normal prey, I imagine a desperate enough one might take down something as big as a rabbit. True vampires of the subfamily Desmodontinae, on the other hand, go after sleeping livestock, mostly, making small incisions that usually aren't fatal unless the bat had rabies. They're also very small, around three inches long with seven inch wingspans. Neither family are found north of Mexico.

Merry Christmas Linkara!

[@Zenacra]

I mean, the reason most people say they like the Christmas opening more than the regular one is most likely because people only hear it one month of the year, so they're not used to it as much as the regular version and thus it's "different." I personally prefer the regular theme, but can appreciate the more festive variant for December reviews.

[@supersmashbro596]

it's like the gracie films logo. most of the time gracie shushes and a happy piano jingle plays and then on a treehouse of horror, gracie screams and a creepy organ version of the same song plays. it doesnt happen too often but when it does, it's cool.

[@justanotheranimeprofilepic]

[@emperorpicard7222]

The bird appeared to be a robin. I'm unsure of what it escaping a psycho bat had to do with Christmas, though, seems more like an alternate ending of ASBAR.

[@SovereignAure]

Emperor Picard I think it was a parallel trying to show that Robin had escaped the darkness that dwells in the cave, while Batman still can't.

[@emperorpicard7222]

SovereignAure Precisely, but it's not a Christmas theme, just the Batman story in general.

[@SovereignAure]

Emperor Picard The only thing I can think of that might related to Christmas is that around Christmas people tend to think of their families, and the analogy technically refers to the fact that Batman's family has recently gotten smaller now that Dick isn't there anymore. I think it's less referring to Christmas specifically and more referencing recent events in the comic and how they relate to Christmas.

[@JaelinBezel]

More like the good ending, where the psycho bat also gets impaled with an arrow symbolizing Oliver Queen finally putting Crazy Steve down.

[@JaelinBezel]

ASBAR would need a proper ending for an "Alternate ending" to exist.

Some people make a fuss about saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter since the sentiment's the same, regardless.

[@Dracarot]

18:04 Actually it looks like they are British aircraft given the circular symbols on the bodies of the planes as opposed to the cross that is on enemy aces aircraft. Perhaps as a reminder that despite any gallantry, respect for his foes, or good will on his part doesn't take away the fact that he still killed those men. A bit of a downer ending for a Christmas anthology story but...

[@ReddwarfIV]

Plus, it's a biplane. Enemy Ace was flying a triplane.

[@Dracarot]

I considered mentioning that to but given how fragile aircraft were in the day and the fact it was wreck I didn't want to discount the fact a third set of wings could have been destroyed by impact or further in a debris field outside the drawing.

[@jakarnilson]

It could also easily be a French or American plane, as all three had similar designs for their roundels, (the Americans having a red-blue-white roundel during the Great War) and the grey uniform colouring renders it unclear which order the colours are set.

Wonder Woman, having a nightmare about Zeus wanting to sleep with her does make sense, considering Zeus in mythology tends to sleep with any woman (Goddess or mortal) one way or another!

This video though, for the first time this year it felt like Christmas, I don't know if it's your voice, the way you talk, maybe just the sincerity as you went over the meanings of the stories and wished us a good holiday. But I really needed it, and I hope you already know how much you mean to all of your fans. On the off chance you don't though, you're our (mine at least) super hero, whenever somethings wrong, just put on one of your videos and whatever is bothering just seems to disappear, whenever happiness is needed, one of your videos is always there.

That wreath was from the time Batman tangled with a little known Christmas themed supervillain who unfortunately didn't survive long in Arkham!"

That was a mask?!! I always thought that's what Deadman looked like in life and his skin and eyes turned white because he was dead.

[@leotamer5]

I do think it would be funny if in the new continuity Deadman took off his mask and his face was still white. Though thinking back, I believe I faintly remember seeing a scene from a movie where Deadman was still alive right before his death and he was wearing a white mask.

That joke about necromancy experiments is especially hilarious given what happens in Season 3 of Harley Quinn. Which, since it's not out on video as of the time of this comment I assume Linkara hasn't seen, so I won't spoil it.

I wouldn't normally comment on such an old video as I catch back up with the show, but the bit with Supergirl brought tears to my eyes.

[@Shadohime]

"Silent Night" could be a reference to the Christmas of 1914, when British and German forces alike laid down their arms, took time off, and celebrated the season together. Gifts were exchanged, carols were sung on both sides, and it was an overall cheerful time in an otherwise dismal war. It was also the only time during the war that this happened, as it was the first year of the war. By the Christmas of 1915, the Allied forces had been exposed to the horrors of modern war, and were not so keen on the idea of mutual celebration. Thank Extra History for teaching this to me. Have a happy new year, Linkara, and I look forward to more Neutro... eventually. :P

Well from what I heard was it less that there weren't that Okay about have another Christmas as that by this point both Sides completely changed the troupes on the battle filed because after said Christmas did more and more refuse to fight if this wasn't done could this event perhaps in the long run even end the war right then and there.

They would also, in some cases, wiggle the wings after a particularly long or even dogfight, essentially as a sign of respect.
