Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl Meet Santa Claus For the First Time

Santa Claus makes his grand entrance riding onto the scene atop his giant reindeer, Prancer. Batman sees Santa and greets him with a nonchalant, “Kris. Been a long time.” The complete casualness in the greeting and the audacity to first-name Santa is such a Bruce thing to do, adding hilarity to the surreal moment. On the other hand, Robin gets his mind blown by the revelation that not only is Santa real, but his father personally knows him. Damian exclaims, "You can’t be serious. I don’t believe in Santa!" Damian's disbelief, despite the evidence before him, adds a humorous touch to this unexpected meeting.

The humor in the comic escalates further as Nightwing and Batgirl encounter the mythological hero. Santa steps in to assist Nightwing when he finds himself overwhelmed by vampires, and all Dick can muster upon realizing his savior's identity is a stunned, "There’s. No. Way." Batgirl, typically composed, is left nearly speechless, a rare occurrence that highlights the impact of the surprising meeting. Later, Nightwing reflects in disbelief that Batman had once claimed to have met and embarked on adventures with Santa. Dick had dismissed these tales as Bruce's attempts to embellish Santa's coolness, only to now confront the reality.
