El Gaucho is an Argentinan millionnaire playboy, a former agent of Spyral and the Batman of Argentina in the Batmen of All Nations and Batman Incorporated.
History
Once an Argentinian secret agent working for Spyral, Don Santiago retired to his millionaire lifestyle but quickly became bored and depressed by a life without adventure. However upon hearing about Batman's activities in Gotham, Santiago was inspired to become a hero and took up the title of El Gaucho. He has since became a good friend and ally of Batman, though their shared history with one Kathy Kane has caused tension between the two heroes. He ceased his involvement with Spyral when Kane died while working for them.
He was later seen fighting alongside Batman Incorporated.
