I've always wanted to do a "grim and gritty" six page version of all those damn Christmas stories from the past.
Christmas Eve. Batman on top of the snow covered rooftops of Gotham City. He sees a mugger grab a bag of presents from a wealthy dowager.
Batman gives chase over a silent, five page, sequence, through the streets and rooftops of Gotham. He finally corners the thug (a well dress, clean cut thirtyish white man in a carhart jacket), who pleads:
"You gotta let me go, man, I didn't want to mug all those peoples, but my kids got some unnamed disease and I needed presents for her...I just wanted to give her one good Christmas..."
The Batman replies "Christmas? I havent had a good Christmas in over thirty years...ever since my parents were mugged....by lousy criminal scum LIKE YOU"
WHAM! Bats takes him out with one punch and drags him down the snow covered street to the police station, why carolers sing "Silent Night" in the distance.
