Batman Issue 598

Santa Klaus is Coming to Town
Sasha Bordeaux puts up a Christmas tree at Wayne Manor, much to Bruce's surprise - he doesn't tend to 'do' Christmas. As Batman he is soon drawn in to the pursuit of Santa Klaus, who, it seems, really can read people's minds to see if they've been bad or good. And is killing those he considers bad. His main activity seems to be handing out bombs disguised as presents to bad people, including everyone at a bash for Gotham lawyers. Batman has trouble picking Klaus out from the many genuine Santa Claus's, but eventually catches up with him at a big gathering in Gotham Square. In the process Klaus is burned quite badly when a Christmas tree goes up in flames. Back home, Batman is given a Christmas gift by Sasha, which he declares is perfect.
