Saint Nick appeared in a Batman comic book over 50 years ago. (see the cover to the right) He also made a cameo on the Batman TV show.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4_5jngpLkY]
Of course those examples are from a time with Batman was a little more light hearted. But once Batman turned more serious, Santa stuck around:
I'm not sure if Kris Kringle is going to make an appearance in the current Batman comic books, but we have been given a little Bat-present this season! The 2nd trailer for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises was just released. Check it out----
