DC Just Gave Santa Claus A Superhero Costume & A New Partner
Of course, DC is no stranger to getting into the holiday spirit either, as the publisher has released numerous stories over the decades featuring the greatest heroes in the DC Universe meeting Santa Claus, dating all the way back to the Golden Age. Santa’s countless appearances over the years include his DC debut in 1940’s “Superman’s Christmas Adventure” #1 (by Jerry Siegel and Jack Burnley), where the Man of Steel and Saint Nick work together to rescue the latter’s kidnapped reindeer. “Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight” will continue the Christmas-inspired stories, albeit with Batman and Santa Claus’ upcoming team-up apparently a little darker than the classic stories of the past.
Check out Dan Mora’s variant cover art for “Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight” #1, featuring Santa’s new redesign.
THE DARK KNIGHT PARTNERS WITH A NOT-SO-JOLLY ST. NICK AS SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN! The four-part crossover event of a generation begins when a not-so-jolly St. Nick hits Gotham City to investigate a brutal crime in the days leading up to Christmas… What manner of man or beast could have committed such atrocities?! With the help of his former student, Batman, Santa will team up with the heroes of the DC Universe to right this wrong—or the world wakes up to coal in their stockings! A brutal, two-fisted holiday tale of hope, wonder, and monster hunting is the perfect treat to ring in the holidays—it’s Claus in canon!
“Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight” #1 from DC Comics arrives in comic book stores and online retailers on December 5, 2023. The four-issue miniseries will be released throughout December, concluding with its final issue on Boxing Day.
