A few hours later in the Batcave, Robin tries to tell Batman to relax because its Christmas Eve and even the Joker must have a family to spend Christmas with. Batman replies by saying he doesn't have a family. Robin then makes a deal with Batman that if Gotham is quite and theres no sign of the Joker they will go back to Wayne Manor eat Christmas dinner and watch Its A Wonderful Life. The two of them get in the Batmobile  and drive to Gotham. While on patrol Batman sees a man running behind a woman. He thinks the man is a thief and is ready to attack. However, it turns out the woman had dropped a present and he was just returning it to her.
