The JLA Christmas Special
December 24th, 2009 by Esther Inglis-Arkell | Tags: dcuI guess almost everyone who celebrates Christmas has their little media rituals involved with it.
Mine used to be A Christmas Story. Yes, despite everything. Don’t judge. Some people watch the Yule Log.
After it started coming on for twenty-four hours at a time, even I was over-saturated, and so I started looking for other things to enjoy during Christmas.
Geeky though it is, I love the JLA Christmas special, titled Comfort and Joy. With three stories, it doesn’t let us get bored, and there’s something for everyone. Shayera and John get an unconventional Christmas. The Flash gives us our Scrooge parable. And Clark and J’onn? That’s my favorite one. I love that Clark still tries to figure out what his presents are, and I love that the Kents wrap them in lead foil, and I love that when the Kents talk about how they wrapped the gifts in lead foil, Clark frowns and says, “You mean Santa wrapped them.”
Best of all, I like the ending of that story, which was corny and sincere and, in a way, understated.
