Absolute Batman marks the beginning of DC's new All In publishing initiative, launched in late 2024, which allows acclaimed creators the freedom to explore these characters without the constraints of pre-established continuity. This creative liberty enables writers and artists to truly make the characters their own. If you're unsure where to dive into the Absolute Universe, our reading guide and release schedule can help you navigate the series.
IGN's Jesse Schedeen had the opportunity to discuss the future of the series with the creators after wrapping their first arc. Absolute Batman teases the presence of iconic villains like Bane and the Joker, with writer Scott Snyder hinting, " . . . this Joker is already really terrifying by the time he meets Batman. But his relationship with Batman is part of something that really evolves as the series goes.” The impact of this intriguing statement will unfold as the series progresses.
One of the advantages of preordering Absolute Batman Vol. 1 from Amazon is their Preorder Price Guarantee. According to Amazon's policy, this ensures that you will pay the lowest price available for your purchase. If the price drops before the release, you'll automatically receive the lower price. It's a great deal!
