Synopsis for "An Eye for Detail"
Bat Lash is riding and singing through a wintry forest. He smells cooking chicken from a nearby cottage and enters only to discover the owner tied to a chair, three gunmen hovering over him demanding he sign over his land to them and a beautiful lady with tears in her eyes standing in the back. The gunmen give Bat a chance to leave, which he initially takes, but he returns stating that he "noticed something that made me turn back." He takes down the three men, unties the father and points out what it was he noticed — mistletoe. He steals a kiss from the daughter and stays for dinner.

Max Mercury thinks Bart Allen is too old to still believe in Santa Claus. So he takes the teen speedster to the North Pole to prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist. But Impulse instead thinks Santa's been kidnapped, so he gives away all his presents under the tree so other people can have something to open on Christmas.
When he runs out of presents, Impulse visits his favorite video game company, and finds they have thousands of free promos of the game to be shipped out. With the permission of the company's CEO, Impulse distributes these promos across the world.
