Absolute Batman

Absolute Batman is a DC Comics series created by writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Dragotta, launching in October 2024 as part of the Absolute Universe line. It follows a younger, 24-year-old Bruce Wayne who is a blue-collar engineer instead of a wealthy billionaire, creating his own gear while fighting crime in Gotham. The comic became a major success, with its first issue becoming the best-selling comic of 2024 and selling millions of copies. An animated series adaptation is currently in development at DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation, with Snyder involved as executive producer and showrunner.
