Absolute Batman – DC – 2024–Present – Volume 1 – Ongoing Series – #1-Present

Quick Summary: A cornerstone of the Absolute Universe (All-In initiative), this series reunites the powerhouse team of Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta. In this reimagined reality, Bruce Wayne is not a billionaire with a mansion, but a working-class city engineer with a massive, brutal physical presence. Stripped of his traditional resources, this Batman uses Gotham’s infrastructure itself as a weapon to battle a terrifying new iteration of the Black Mask and the nihilistic Party Animals. The series is defined by its kinetic, heavy-metal aesthetic and its complete deconstruction of the Batman mythos.
