30-11-23 | Over the years many honourable individuals have joined Batman in his never-ending fight against the forces of evil. Superman, Green Arrow, Spawn, Black Canary and now … Father Christmas?! Yes folks, DC Comics teams up the Dark Knight with the greatest superhero the world has ever known: Santa Claus! Batman / Santa Claus – Silent Knight will be a weekly epic running for four issues leading up to Christmas. The perfect way to get into the spirit of the season!
‘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.’
And so it is revealed that one of Batman’s many mystical teachers is none other than good old Santa! I hope we’re not spoiling your fun when we tease that Krampus, the gothic beast historically associated with Father Christmas, is the main villain of Batman / Santa Claus – Silent Knight. In addition to Krampus, expect to see Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl and many other familiar faces. Let’s ho-ho-hope Silent Knight lives up to the hype! The first weekly issue is out next week. Merry Comics and a Happy New Yarn!
