Horrors haunt the Christmas season as life-drained bodies litter the countryside, each marked with a strange symbol. The Justice League responds--but it's a trap! The heroes are pulled from our world, but not before Batman helps Robin escape. Now Damian Wayne must seek out Zatanna and the one and only Santa Claus if there's any hope of saving their friends and family. Santa comes to the aid of the DCU heroes in the crossover-event sequel you wished for! And you must have been extra good because a wintry mix of DC's wildest characters arrive this time to face a powerful foe...the Silent Knight!
Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #1 is more than a holiday special. Implementing some folklore into Santa's makeup transforms him from the front of a Christmas Card to a figure with depth and intrigue. Read Full Review
Jeff Parker delivers a festive sequel to last year's Silent Knight storyline. I loved how he managed to include so many members of the Justice League while giving Santa Claus a fantastic entrance. It was great to see characters like Mera, Nubia, Constantine, and Zatanna make an appearance. I'm excited to see how much of a role they'll play in the story and can't wait to find out.

Batman / Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #1 is a strong start to this holiday-inspired second series that looks to expand and build the mythos of Santa Claus's position in the DCU. Parker not only embraces the All-In era feel but lays the groundwork for bringing in and adding to the established mythos of DC's Silent Knight character from the 60s. Read Full Review

Batman and Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #1 puts us directly in the action as we have peril and the fate of beloved heroes on the line. I look forward to this Christmas Carol. Read Full Review
A fun, action-packed holiday adventure. While the Christmas spirit takes a bit of a backseat to magical mayhem, the unique lineup of heroes and their interplay add freshness to the tale. Ketner's detailed art and Maiolo's atmospheric colors bring the settings to life. Overall, this festive follow-up strikes a good balance between superheroics and holiday cheer, setting the stage for an intriguing series ahead. Read Full Review
Fans of the first series will find Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #1 a welcome continuation. It suffers somewhat in accessibility to newcomers, however, and I suspect it will read better as a single volume than as a weekly periodical. Truth be told, this issue is more of a Justice League story than a Batman one. However, it will meet the needs of those who seek holiday-themed superhero action. Read Full Review
This has started a lot weaker than the first run. I don't think this villain matches the Christmas genre, but I don't know all of the lore. I like that Zatanna is a major player. I hope this gets better. I'll continue with it.

Anyone else find this cloying and nonsensical? What is with America's Santa obsession?
