TL; DRBatman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #1 is surprisingly evergreen. Whilst the main character is literally the symbol of Christmas and thick snow covers the Gotham ground, turning it into a monster-hunting horror comic gives the adventure the ability to be read any time of the year.

The Dark Knight joining forces with Father Christmas makes for an exciting beginning to what will only be a legendary story. Parkers exciting writing blends perfectly with Bandini and Sinclairs energetic art to give readers a tale that they wont be able to wait to Christmas Day to read! Make sure to pick this one up on New Comic Book Day! Read Full Review

The thing about this comic is, it sounds like a joke comic but it's really notat all. There's a serious threat that takes Batman out of his comfort zone, and Santa is another warrior from a different sector of heroism to partner with. It takes the absurdity of the concept for granted and instead gives us an action-packed winter thrill ride that fits perfectly in the DCU. Read Full Review

Don't be naughty and sleep on this, it's what comics are supposed to be, fun entertainment. Just one issue in and I'm hoping this becomes a yearly tradition. Read Full Review

👌Quality.

I had a lot of fun with this issue. I don't think I would have chosen vampire bats as the main nemesis, but I like Krampus and Santa being pals for a while. It's awesome how Santa towers over everyone else and knows everyone's address. Looking forward to the next issue.

FUN! I don't read a lot of DC but this was a nice romp with good art and dialogue. I will be looking for all 4 this season!

This was a delightful holiday surprise, blending the gritty world of Gotham City with the whimsical magic of Christmas in an immensely fun miniseries debut. Jeff Parker and Michele Bandini create a campy, captivating story that is both thrilling and festive.

Parker's writing is witty and sharp. He expertly balances the dark and dire elements of the Batman-style plot with the lightheartedness and wonder of Christmas lore. The dialogue is full of humorous exchanges, especially once Santa enters the picture, providing plenty of laughs while also setting up the story for the long haul. Parker’s introduction of Santa to the larger DC Universe makes it seem like this was planned for decades and didn’t feel forced at all (which it could have VERY easily been). OF COURSE Santa is a secret superhero! I found myself smiling throughout the majority of the issue because it was just so fun. more

What a pleasant surprise! These holidays specials are usually weak but this is fun with great art and Parker has the characters' voices spot on.

Just like off world #1 it's another fun comic book starring batman with some help from santa and friends.

This was soo much better then it needed to be but really solid read, mystery, great art, and and the Christmas feeling is there.
