Batman and Robin: Christmas

It was the night before Christmas and somewhere near the North Pole, Batman and Robin were on the prowl. They had gotten a tip that their arch nemesis, The Joker, was nearby and they were determined to take him out.
They had been tracing his movements and were confident they were closing in on him. Robin was riding on Batman's shoulders as the Dark Knight sped across the snowy terrain. The clouds had cleared and for a brief moment they could see the stars twinkling in the night sky. 
Then something crazy happened. Instead of landing on Joker's hideout, they crashed through a front door and tumbled into the living room of a quaint little cabin. It was then they noticed the three Christmas stockings and realized they'd stumbled into a family's home. 
The family was nowhere to be seen and the cabin's master bedroom door was slightly ajar. As they approached it, a little girl in a nightgown peeked out from behind her parents' bed. 
'It's okay!' she said with a huge smile. 'We were waiting for Santa to come, but it looks like he sent you two instead! We know who you are, Batman and Robin! Won't you stay for dinner and a visit?'
Batman and Robin accepted the girl's invitation and joined the family for a delicious Christmas supper. Afterward, they posed for a few pictures and made sure Santa's presents were delivered. 
Batman and Robin left the cabin sure that the family had a Christmas to remember. They continued their mission to apprehend The Joker but deep down they knew they'd had a successful mission of another kind.
