A DC Universe Christmas #[nn]

In "Wanted: Santa Claus -- Dead or Alive!" from A DC Universe Christmas #10 (2001), Batman teams up with Boomer Katz, a recently paroled thief, to thwart a mob's attempt to steal a department store's holiday receipts—using nothing but a flickering Nativity star for light and the quiet chaos of Christmas Eve to stay one step ahead.

In "The Story of Fir Balsam," Wonder Woman tracks a Nazi operative named Carl Natz through the quiet town of Greenville, where she uncovers a desperate situation: the Carter family has been taken hostage by Natz and his gang. As she moves through the snow-laden streets, the weight of the holiday season hangs heavy, turning a mission of rescue into something far more personal.

In "A Swingin' Christmas Carol!" from A DC Universe Christmas #21.5 (2001), Jo and the Teen Titans swing into action when Tiny Tom Ratchet uncovers his father's employer, Mr. Scrounge, using the junkyard as a front for criminal activity. Drawing on the spirit of Dickens, the team steps in as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future to set things right—though not before some high-octane chaos and a few well-timed puns.

In "Billy Batson's Xmas," Captain Marvel steps in to help Mike reclaim his job as Santa Claus just in time for Billy's Christmas Eve party, where a heartfelt exchange of gifts brings the season’s magic to life.

In "Santa Fronts for the Mob," a dim-witted professional wrestler is recruited to play Santa Claus at a department store—only to become an unwitting pawn in a criminal scheme. With the holiday spirit on the line, the line between jolly disguise and criminal cover begins to blur.
