Absolute Batman #1 (Released October 9, 2024) | DC Comics
The Dark Knight is reborn in Absolute Batman #1! Written by Scott Snyder with art by Nick Dragotta, this issue launches the bold new Absolute Universe imprint and reimagines Batman like never before. Released on October 9, 2024, this first issue introduces a younger Bruce Wayne—an engineer-by-day, vigilante-by-night—operating without fortune or mansion but driven by purpose. Alfred Pennyworth is re-envisioned as an MI6 agent; the threats are high-tech, brutal, and unrelenting. Gotham’s future starts here.
