DC Preview: Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1

Just over a year after Absolute Batman launched, Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1 is here!

Absolute Batman run has been going steady since its launch on October 9, 2024. The flagship project of DC‘s Absolute Universe reboot, Absolute Batman reimagines the character’s mythos, offering up a much grittier take on the hero’s origin. He has not inherited wealth, and Alfred Pennyworth is not a butler, but a hardened operative. Wayne himself isn’t a rich socialite –in his mid-twenties, he works as a civil engineer. This run is a radical new direction for Batman, but one that’s proven to be a big success among readers. We’ve written about it extensively.

If you haven’t yet picked up the Absolute Batman 2025 Annual, we may be able to persuade you with these fantastic preview pages.

The official description of the 2025 Annual reads: “Some of the biggest names in comics take a turn in the Absolute Universe! Daniel Warren Johnson and James Harren tell tales from Absolute Batman’s early days! How did Bruce acquire his batmobile? And what was it like for Black Mask’s party animals when Batman first hit the scene?”
