It Is Now Official DC Canon That Batman Was Trained By Santa Claus
Today, DC Comics publishes Batman #140 and Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #1 that both see Bruce Wayne revisit their old trainers.
Article Summary
- Batman #140 introduces Lucie Chesson, mentor from Bruce Wayne's past.
- Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #1 makes Santa a canonical trainer of Batman.
- DC Comics adds a unique twist to Batman's extensive training backstory.
- Santa teams with Batman and DC heroes to investigate a brutal Gotham crime.
Today, DC Comics publishes Batman #140 and Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #1. The first sees his Zur-En-Arrh personality meet Lucie Chesson, The Gray Shadow of Paris, who taught the young Bruce Wayne in the art of cat burglary and probably defined women for Bruce Wayne going forward, previously seen in Batman writer Chip Zdarsky's previous series, The Knight.
But she is not the only old mentor Batman meets today, as in Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight we get something new to add to the Batcanon.
That's right, folks, when Bruce Wayne was travelling around the world, learning combat and detective skills, he must have gone to the North Pole as well. It is now official canon that Batman was trained by Santa Claus.
And, as a street vigilante on the streets of Gotham, he know whether you live.
And whether you have been naughty or nice. But as for DC canon as to how Christmas works, which gets everyone tied up in knots?
Looks like it runs on autopilot now…
