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!

    But Why Tho? - William Tucker Dec 5, 2023

    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.

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Dec 5, 2023

    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

    I'll admit, I came into Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #1 not expecting much but boy I was wrong as far as that. The story is fun, entertaining, full of action, some laughs, good action, and perfect for the holiday season. 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
