LAUGHING that Bruce apparently used to tell Dick about his adventures with Santa from when he was training across the world and Dick was like, "Oh, yeah, that sounds cool, B!" while thinking, "Aw, that's sweet that he's trying to make Santa sound more cool. Total bullshit, but sweet." AND THEN NOPE BRUCE'S LIFE IS SO GODDAMNED WEIRD THAT IT WAS TRUE.

Superman meeting Santa is actually the cutest thing I've ever seen.

[ID: Pages from the Batman- Santa Claus: Silent Knight comic series. Superman has his laser vision activated and looks furious as he says, "You never said-- that you knew." His laser eyes disappear as he says with a stunned, almost stricken expression: "Santa."

A dragon can be seen in the background as he begins to float down and says, "Hi, sir, I'm--" Santa Claus says, "Kent. Rural route 38, Smallsville. You wrote me when you were six." Superman, surprised, asks, "Wow-- You remember that?" Santa replies, "You asked for 'a new coffee maker for Ma and Pa.' And something about how you thought coffee was yucky, but they love it."

Superman, touched, says, "I can't believe you read my letter..." In the background, the dragon is looking at them menacingly, and Blue Beetle shouts, "¡Eyyy! Supes! ¡Hola! Back here!" End ID]

Credit to @princess-of-purple-prose for the description. Thanks for writing this up! I didn’t think to add something like this but if it makes it more inclusive I’m happy to add it! Everyone deserves to see Supes being a cutie pie.

"Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns" Announced

Santa saves the Justice League in new Silent Knight series. Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns hails from Jeff Parker and Lukas Ketner. Artist Michele Bandini is also onboard with certain Justice League scenes.

"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." (DC Comics)

Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #1 (of 5) features a main cover by Bernard Chang and variant covers by Dan Mora, Kevin Wada, Erica Henderson and Dan Hipp (which is evergreen scented). The issues will release weekly on the Wednesdays leading up to Christmas from November 27 to December 25, 2024.

I loved Damian on the final Batman - Santa Claus: the Silent Knight issue:

Damian pretending he's the scared little kid was hilarious!

And then batfamily worrying over him but also knowing he was acting:

The sad realization that Damian never had a childhood:/

But at least he got to help Santa Claus. That's every kid's dream

BATMAN SANTA CLAUS SILENT KNIGHT no.1 (of 4) • cover art • Otto Schmidt [Dec 2023]

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!

(W) Jeff Parker (A) Michele Bandini (CA) Otto Schmidt

"Damian, sometimes we should keep thoughts to ourselves." HELP, WHEN BATMAN HAS TO TELL YOU TO BE LESS RUDE, YOU KNOW IT'S BAD, I HAVE BEEN HYENA LAUGHING ABOUT THIS FOR THE LAST FIVE MINUTES.

Dick and Damian's reactions to Santa are great. Santa did not need to drop Dick's address like that he just did to flex and I love it.
