*Absolute Batman* marks the beginning of DC Comics’ ambitious *All In* publishing initiative launched in late 2024. This bold new line allows celebrated creators full artistic freedom with some of the most iconic characters in comic history—free from the constraints of established continuity. If you're curious about where to begin exploring the Absolute Universe, our comprehensive reading guide and release schedule has got you covered.
IGN’s Jesse Schedeen recently sat down with the creative team behind *Absolute Batman* to explore what’s next following the completion of their initial arc. The series subtly teases appearances from legendary villains like Bane and the Joker throughout its early run. Writer Scott Snyder teased, “...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.” What exactly that means remains to be seen—but fans should prepare for a chilling evolution.
An added benefit of purchasing *Absolute Batman Vol. 1: The Zoo* on Amazon—as well as any other preordered item—is the retailer’s Preorder Price Guarantee. As per Amazon’s policy, you’ll always pay the lowest price available at the time of release, even if the listed price drops below what was originally advertised. That means peace of mind when locking in your preorder today.
