This is a nice book for kids. It always delivers a nice message and has a good moral. This issue, the Phantom Stranger does a "Scrooge" thing, and shows the Flash the Christmas' past of Batman. He wants to show the Flash, why the Batman hangs on so tightly to his anger and need for retribution. He also wants to show him, how a persons present is defined by the little things that happened in his past. In the end the Flash get the gist of the story, and apologizes to Batman for the way he nonchalantly handled a mission they were on earlier. In that instance a bond was formed, because the Batman could see the maturity in the Flash's effort. And he could see the respect they had for each other. Like I said, these "Johnny DC" books are a nice change of pace from the usual epics that we read through these books.
