The Scene: The Penguin's cronies attack Gotham during the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony hosted by the mayor and Max Schreck (Christopher Walken).
What We're Thankful For: The stark contrast provided by winter's snow and the dark cityscape of Tim Burton's Batman were oddly beautiful. Adding to the aesthetic pleasures were the oddly familiar sense of loneliness exhibited by both Batman and Catwoman during the most cheerful time of year.
Gift under the tree/Coal for your stocking: Gift. This may be Burton's weirder Batman, but it satisfies the needs of a perfect weird Christmas film: Walken, garish gift wrap, Danny DeVito stealing children, etc. A nice alternative to the other Burton X-mas film, The Nightmare Before Christmas.
