The only bad thing about this otherwise great film


The killer Santa from 1971 was never caught. I mean all it took was a scene with a newspaper article. That was just questionable writing. Yes, I'm aware that this was several decades before social media existed and I'm also aware that IRL that some serial killers (like Jon Benet Ramsey's) were never caught, but even the assassins of Batman's parents were eventually caught. I hate the stupid cliché "Karma Houdini" trope! It's lazy writing!
