The santa that gave darkside coal was hillarious

Honestly, there is something adorable about Superman believing in Santa.

A greedy businessman that hates Christmas. Now that’s a paradox if I ever heard one

Maybe dc's Santa is an entity like Darkseid. He creates avatars of himself in order to interact with the universe around him.

*snorting Santa's ashes for MORE POWER!!!* New Cards Against Humanity Card?

Maybe the real Santa is the friends we made along the way

That episode of Justice League is pretty funny and I highly recommend it I love that Superman trying to peak at present, him believing in Santa, and his parents having to cover it in lead foil. Also that Martian manhunter growing into his sweater It has so many jokes and heart warming moments I don’t want to ruin the episode for those who didn’t see it

Santa reincarnates every time he dies into different versions of Santa

i love the idea that Black Adam is the reason for santa.

Perhaps darkside is evil because he gets coal for christmas every year

Broke: “Donna Troy is the most confusing character in DC comics” Bespoke: “Santa Claus is the most fonfusing character in DC comics”

Just the idea of Santa giving darkseid coal, avoiding a bunch weapons to do so,is just unreal and epic and I love it

The Black Adam is the most interesting, with Santa being a wizard. My theory is that Santa has his own multiverse, the Santaverse.

When Santa goes to Apokilipis. "Here's your lump of coal Darkseid. You've been bad again this year." - Santa Claus

"Blitzen enlisted the help of Detective Chimp to prank-call Santa" Might be my favorite sentence I've heard this year so far.

now I want a whole comic that has Santa fighting through defences, the reindeer fighting to and all-around an epic, all for Santa to reach the throne room, and hand Darkseies that piece of coal

DC Santa. Yes, Christmas spirit is increasing..

Now I want to see a video on Marvel’s depiction of Santa

Perhaps Santa just is, his logic doesn’t matter because he is the embodiment of holly jolly goodness

5:41 this image embody perfectly the states of comics during the 90s

I guess the reason why Santa is confusing is a similar reason to the Devil in comics; people have different interpretations of the jolly man. Some think he’s creepy and a stalker, most think he’s joyful and jolly, but then some have weirder and wilder thoughts about him.

You think DC's Santa's weird? Marvel's Santa is an Omega-Level Mutant.

*I only ride in a sled and have Superman pull it* Merry Super Christmas Everyone!!!!

Santa is a New God. Don't @ me

I imagine that since they're never going to regularly involve him they don't have much of a reason to take Santa's depiction super seriously.

Fact fiend focus just did a video like this but based off marvel Santa. Nice video!

In Teen Titans Go Santa hates the Teen Titans and fights them every Christmas.

When I ran superhero RPGs face to face, I ran a Santa mission every year. It doesn't have to make sence, it just has to be fun.

Out of every thing you chose Santa in DC I love it

As a Cajun seeing papa Noel is rad. Sucks that he’s been mostly phased out for normal Santa. He’s got flying alligators, that’s so fucking cool

I would like to mention the Santa Claus from that one Smallville episode.

Earth-12 You know Like the 12 days of Christmas

Santa being a super powerful wizard multiverse traveler who specifically loves Superman, and gets joy out of hating on Darkseid is one of the best things I have ever heard from comics.

Wow last time i was this early gwenpool still had an ongoing

Wow, what an interesting and fun video that more people should watch.

The Myra version seems the most fun, I’d say keep that but have it be that over the years he became more jolly thanks to expanding out with his gift giving. Imagine him being a regular contact of the spectre and dr.fate. And Ofcourse, keep the darksied bit because that’s amazing.

Last time I was this early Santa Claus didn’t have a beard

it's difficult to handle Santa since DC is working with an endless multiverse concept

Superman believing in Santa is my new favorite thing about him.

Krisis on Infinite Kringles.

Santa gave Darkseid coal? Lmaooo nice

I’m glad that there’s multiple versions of Santa. If you think about it it’s just like real life. There’s multiple origins to Santa or a version of Santa across different cultures throughout history. He is a concept, an idea, a passing tale, a myth. And the Santa that delivers coal to Darkside is the best.

Santa Claus is an idea, not a character. There is no “canon” for Santa, instead there’s tales and stories and legends, and reimaginings, all derived from a symbol. Santa means different things to different people, because Christmas means different things to different people. I’m kind of glad that there isn’t just 1 Santa across all of DC Comics, especially since one of my favorite things about DC (especially over Marvel) is the willingness to experiment with characters and ideas.

I would depict Santa as an orphaned New God who was raised on Earth in Turkey, sticking to the real life history of Saint Nicholas and adding some DC magic into the mix. But I do love the idea of Black Adam of all people basically creating Santa Claus just for how funny it sounds.

8:43 What a legend, figuratively and literally.

The wizard Santa makes sense because it would explain all the magic stuff that Santa is all about. Also the green dudes are his elves in my head cannon.

Marvels santa is also pretty weird but not as confusing Edit:My most popular comment ever now is about how Santa could beat your butt pretty easily if you check the replies

This is really bizarre, equally bizarre that it’s recommended to me now

Wait earth 12 is the DCAU

My headcanon: DC Santa, like Superman, Supergirl, Zod, etc is Kryptonian. Kryptonians had interstellar exploration technology amongst other long before humans do in DC. Santa was an explorer who encountered a problem and crashed on Earth. With no way home or the technology even close to make repairs or contact anyone. He and his wife permanently shelter on earth with green Kryptonian crystals much like how the Fortress of Solitude was made. They soon discover they are developing the typical Kryptonian powers under the yellow sun of Earth. They show kindness and goodwill throughout the years and the rest was history. There is a Santa Claus movie made by Alexander and Ilya Salkind. The same people who made Superman 1-4 with Christopher Reeve as Superman/Clark Kent

You went through DC’s history and discovered some of Santa’s appearances were weird? Were you expecting anything less? ;)

One you missed is Wasteland #16 which contains a story in which Santa is told "All I Want for Christmas Is the Head of Idi Amin!" (the story's title) and so leads a commando squad to obtain it, decapitating the ex dictator and then delivering the head only to discover he's been manipulated by the CIA.

Honestly, I think DC's Santa is 100% American Gods.

"Hanging her for some pocket change" Oh ok then.

How I would do it? Make him an entity of The Dreaming. Therefore he can have avatars throughout the multiverse. His origins aren't to important, though I can see him, Dream and Death having an agreement. Also he's the arch nemesis of Darkseid. Because CHRISTMAS HOPE!

If I was in charge of DC I'd reveal Santa to be a fifth-dimensional imp (like Mxzptlk), who routinely reinvents himself out of boredom.

“Even though Santa is powerful, he can be killed” lmao

Makes sense to me, Santa has multiple origins in DC just like he does in real life. Multiple historical figures such as the saint and the sorcerer added to the legend of Santa, which then became a concept and took form in the Dreaming. As the Dreaming exists outside of time and space, the legends and dreams fed each other until Santa basically became a minor god. Due to different countries having different interpretations, this happened multiple times. Plus any dream that dies is pretty much reborn at some point. The only real outliers are the Kryptonian/alien and the evil Lobo one. I'd guess the first was inspired by the mythical Santa, and the other was some form of nightmare, or a corruption of the Krampus.

Maybe Santa is similar to Darkseid in that he's an outerversal concept with multiple avatars in every reality. It would explain a lot.

Everybody forgets THE AMBUSH BUG STOCKING STUFFER.

Let's not forget that Marvel's Santa is an omega level mutant

I thought Santa can enter any chimney despite being fat because of his magic? He is an immortal spirit after all

If Santa is a construct of there shared human imagination he doesn't have to be consistent. And can be perpetually reborn or regenerated....

Man, Black Adam really cares for his country

I think the best one is the Santa that went through all the trouble to deliver Darkseid some coal. The others don't seem either as nice or as powerful as him.

John Constantine: Oh fuck yeah, Santa Cocaine!!!

The Main Canon Universe, oh you mean the MCU ?

What about the Christmas special, where Larfleeze tries to find Santa?

I wanna see some crazy DC Comics Christmas stories where Santa Claus is corrupted by an evil inter-dimensional force of evil!

Which issue of “The Dark Mansion” has Santa in it?

I personally would give Santa a connection to the Speed Force, and giving him white lightning would give him minor control over time, according to Godspeed, which would give an explanation of his overnight journey around the world on Christmas.

Superman DEMANDING the existence of santa is enough for me to fear Santa..

Can you do a video on public domain comics. I've heard Dan Garrett's blue Beetle and Plastic Man are public domain

Black Adam traveling through time and creating santa. Because comics.

Do marvel's Santa Nextel year

Maybe Santa is a primordial force of the universe and takes several avatars in each universe

The Dreaming version of Santa reminds me of how Talos came to be in Skyrim. As for how would I set up Santa in the DC Universe I'd have all the Superman team ups be canon and be like the "lead" Santa, with any other Santa being someone like Santa, but not Santa. Also I think Santa should just coincidentally have the same name as the actual Saint.

Hey Drake, love the channel . Can you do a video on who the smartest Robin by ranking them and explaining it

I like to imagine that Santa Claus is just the specter blower off some steam

I’m ready for a dark and gritty DCEU Santa Claus movie.

12:20 I swear I saw this part of the video in a dream and I don't remember watching this before. I'm having deja vu here.

Yo my favorite dc superhero be givin away presents to children like a true hero

I think he exists as a concept rather than an actual living being. That would explain the multiple interpretations depending on the point of view.

Seeing those reindeer with FRONT FACING EYES LIKE PREDATORS is creepy AF.

If I where a DC writer i would make Santa the direct contrary to Darkseid, so just like how Darkseid is supposed to be this god of hyperevil that may also be a conceptual being Santa would in turn be a god of goodness and jolliness, the representation of all the universe's good, a force to counter Darkseid himself All the santas that we have seen over the years, avatars of the multiversal santa, that would also explain away why it seems like he changes constantly And that would also explain Santa giving Darkseid coal every year and why he doesnt attack him, santa is just trolling his eternal arch nemeis and Darkseid knows it's useless to attack him since he will just come back intact next year

Hi, Im from the future here and Santa Claus and Batman have their own four issue series.

Black Adam is one of my favorite comic Villans. The fact that he beat down this old wizard and like, basicly created Santa I guess? But thats prolly the best origin story of Santa ever

If they had no desire to make a consistent continuity of Santa, then it makes sense that it doesn't make sense.

Happy Birthmus, Drake 🎉☃️😁 (Birthday and Christmas)

Was always a fan of the Santa that fucks with Darkseid. Seeing as how Darkseid is the God of Evil it would make sense that a spirit of yearly goodwill and generosity would want to troll him.

With Myra I think that Santa exists through all time and he sealed the country in a time bubble

Don't forget Teen Titans Go version of Santa.

Santa is my favorite thing about DC Comics

The Lobo comics were implied to be just Lobo telling stories. Also would like to see your reaction to the new silent knight comic that just came out.

I always assumed that line was for j’onn’s sake, like how older siblings play along for younger siblings.

Superman's Christmases be wild.

*DC Comics Santa is on par with Trigon and that scares me .*

Ironic, because most greedy businessmen probably love Christmas...write-offs.

Myra, in Anatolia (now Turkey), was the city where Saint Nicholas was a Bishop.

Kinda sounds like Santa is a strong enough belief that it gets manifested into reality, but only ephemerally, it's not a permanent fixture of reality, except for it's memetic form.
