Hey Youtubers, it's Charlie.
This is going to be my flash and the Justice league saves Christmas video both the comics
are bunch of comic book stories and on the TV show.
So here we go.
There is a new round of the flash ring giveaway to all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber
and leave a comment on this video be sure to click that bell to enable alerts so you
don't miss anything during the break so let's start with the TV show.
Probably the best Christmas story was actually during season two of the flash where you have
the weather wizard trickster team up where they basically plant bombs in all the presidents
of all the kids around town to find a creative way to suck all the bombs simultaneously into
wormhole so that they'll explode elsewhere and won't hurt anybody is the flash goes down
with a couple really awesome Star Wars Mark Hamill references and then saves Christmas
or Central city is not time for a real war on Christmas what is this is a box with
it feels so good to give see the Arrow hundred random children please take a little box just
like that one Christmas tree is no way she gets all the fewer look toys
season three didn't really follow up on that Christmas theme like they did celebrate the
holidays at the end of the episode season two's episode was more of a straight up Christmas
themed episode because yet Santa Claus at all the presidents you of the trickster pulling
a joker move and planting bombs all over the city.
But, on to the comic book stories.
So some of these references, you probably spot more than others.
Like this Harley Quinn intro with the Charlie Brown Christmas is totally on the nose very
apropos I totally love this.
She can intros these series of stories.
So in between the one-off stories like you have Superman saving Christmas you have Batman
saving Christmas you have the flash saving Christmas.
Those are all separate stories.
The inter-connective tissue is, this Charlie Brown Christmas with Harley Quinn is kind
of the mouthpiece that involves all the DC characters hang out together so she says during
this holiday season.
There's one tradition that stands out above all the others of big spanking holiday special.
So throughout the whole thing.
She drops a bunch of Easter eggs like she even has a David Bowie being Crosby reference
that I'll explain later her joke right here is just making fun of the idea of big holiday
special comics in general like some of these characters have Apsley nothing to do with
each other like she meets the Green Lantern characters in their like do we do even know
you and she's like nope you never met me before and they just go on to the next story so just
like you see and Deadpool comics is very self-referential they like to make fun of themselves when they
do big stories like this that aren't necessarily part of the canon.
So even though some of these stories like the Superman one that I'll tell first invoke
a lot of classic Canon this big party that they're having isn't technically Canon.
So first story Superman of Superboy saves Christmas is actually a crypto story about
how he's had this really awful year like they reference the big fight that he had with the
eradicate or earlier in the year that actually happened during the Superman comic book the
inter-gang storyline they reference here this is all part of the canon within the Jon can
Superboy, if you know if you haven't been reading the Superman comic he's named after
Jonathan Kent himself so they just call him Jon JON Kent.
He has the idea that they need to get crypto presence of Superman is like right have a
great idea let's go, so he flies into the Fortress of solitude and shows him the Museum
of artifacts that he houses there like it's his giant repository for alien artifacts special
things that need to be protected.
He even has an alien zoo for creatures that are on the endangered species list across
the universe, so Jon get super excited starts running around like a kid in a candy store
and sees Superman's classic comic book costume in Superman explains this is the suit that
I met your mother in it was from a long time ago.
It meant a lot to me.
It was meant to represent my heritage, so Jon gets a really bright idea that he's going
to use Superman's classic belt and turn it into crypto's new collar was a really fun
way for them to bring something back from the classic comics in a really touching way.
So the next story is actually kind of like Batman ruining Christmas in a very National
Lampoon's Christmas vacation way where everyone's opening presents Harley Quinn getting really
excited like she got a gift from Superman here and Batman kind of shies away and wonder
woman makes fun of him did you forget to get presents for everyone.
He's like just wait a minute wait for it in everywhere all the characters on their cell
phones get messages that Bruce Wayne has made a donation in their name to the police retirement
fund, so everyone's like God dammit that is the worst president ever you ruined Christmas
for us and Batman does his Kermit none of my business pose here if Mr. Wayne were here.
I'm sure he'd say you're welcome.
So the next story wonder woman kind of explains what their Christmas traditions are there
holiday traditions on Paradise Island is as you know we don't really celebrate Christmas
in the traditional sense, but we do dress someone up who gives us gifts we try to unmask
them that initiates combat the losers are dressed up in does suits a runoff we hunt
them down like animals thin-skinned them ceremonially and wrap them up like were baking them in
a giant pastry shell like literally baking people in pastry shells to just the look on
Harley Quinn face here is priceless.
They panned a Superman and he's kind of like well I went and my house we just put up a
tree and then wonder woman encounters with another even more hardcore statement did you
know that the history of Christmas trees are steeped in validity sacrifice and sorcery,
just reminding you that wonder woman's roots are that of a warrior.
She's way more hard-core than most of the Justice league members in the next story is
the flash saving Christmas is flash Christmas Carol.
So it's not necessarily ghost of past, present and future there really just borrowing that
name thematically.
It's a much different story just the flash basically saving Christmas from the roast
but is here visiting one of his friends who has a foster home, there's a young child who's
really excited about Christmas he tries to explain what Christmas was like when he was
growing up.
When he was in a foster home himself like Christmas was very important for me.
Traditions were very important.
I want to make you feel very special in this holiday time to, so he tries to explain the
concept of Santa.
Santa has a lot of special helpers and then they panned to the rogues who are in the process
of robbing the bank ho ho ho Merry Christmas pitches so they have weather wizard creates
no cover, turning it into a white Christmas.
Just bearing the entire area in snow while there inside the bank.
They almost get some money until the flash walks in breaking all the glass.
But then surprise surprise Captain.
cold is planted bombs around the city to keep the flash busy for a couple minutes.
So Captain.
cold knows that the flash is going to be able to find the bombs get back and Captainure
them.
So in that time he gets one bag of money out of the bank via mirror master.
While the rest of the rogues try to get the rest of the hall out via a truck the flash
is able to stop them, but not without Captain.
cold Downing a truck that has a bunch of presents bound for all these foster children all over
the city so Captain.
cold makes a truce with the flash that he doesn't want to ruin all these kids Christmases
because Captain.
cold had a terrible childhood.
Barry had a terrible childhood, so sort of like the hopeful message here is that Captain.
cold is a thief but he has his honor and he is in a total Dick head.
So he says I will get you after the new year I'm in a make your life a living hell.
But I'm not gonna ruin Christmas for a bunch of foster kids.
So he gives the flash of past, the flash is able to take all the presidents around town
Santa style because the truck that was carrying them was totaled.
So the flash become Santa Claus for the night in between all these you have a Rankin Bassett
venture if you guys haven't watched the Rankin Bass cartoons in a while that's actually fun
to do during the holidays but Rudolph was one of the big stories.
So in this version of events.
The cold seemed to villains from the DC universe Captain.
cold killer Frost and Mr. freeze team up to rob Santa Claus.
But then Harley Quinn rides in on crypto who takes them down and then because the reindeer
aren't able to fly without some help, let's them borrow crypto who kind of becomes the
Rudolph of the story leading the sleigh which is a lot of really fun twist on classic comic
book stories.
