Absolute Batman marks the launch of DC's innovative All In publishing initiative, which began in late 2024. This initiative allows renowned creators to explore these iconic characters without the constraints of established continuity, giving them the freedom to inject fresh creativity into their narratives. If you're new to the Absolute Universe, our reading guide and release schedule can help you dive in.

IGN's Jesse Schedeen recently interviewed the creators, who shared insights into the future following their first arc. Absolute Batman teases appearances by legendary villains like Bane and the Joker. Scott Snyder hinted, " . . . 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 full impact of this mysterious statement remains to be seen.
