Batman V Santa Claus: Dawn of Christmas

[shakalooloo]

It's a four-issue miniseries, running every week through December with the third issue out today. Lamentably, I'm away from my FLCS over this holiday season, so here are only scans from the first two issues.

Still, it's written by Jeff Parker, and the art is pretty damn amazing. Not just a chreap Christmas cash-in, but one does wonder if they'll wait twelve months before publishing the TPB.

I always wondered about the younger heroes of the DCU. They know heroes who can run around the world in seconds, or punch a hole through the moon, or magic welders...is Santa really that far fetched in comparison?

Maybe they're going by the logic that it's not that Santa is so far fetched, but just that in a universe like the DCU, surely if Santa was real they'd have seen him sooner?
(if that makes sense.)

There's an Impulse story like that. (In one of the DCU Holiday Bash annuals, I think)

Max starts bringing up the "impossible" things Santa does and Bart counters with superheroes who have those same powers because Martian Manhunter ALSO knows if you've been good or bad and the Atom has no problem with chimneys.

(Seems odd to try to convince a future Flash that a scarlet speedster is improbable)

Then Bart is taken to a vacant North Pole and comes to the perfectly reasonable assumption that Santa has been kidnapped.
