Jim Lee’s brightly colored covers for Absolute Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, out October.

Last year I learned of the existence of the eventual Absolute Universe series in October 2023, before referring to it as Absolute Universe as part of DC All-In in April of this year. I stated that it would be published by DC Comics in October 2024, with Absolute Batman. That the main authors and artists Jason Aaron, Deniz Camp, Wes Craig, Nick Dragotta, Al Ewing, Che Grayson, Jeff Lemire, Jahnoy Lindsay, Pornsak Pichetshote, Nick Robles, Rafa Sandoval, Hayden Sherman, Scott Snyder And ^ “Kelly Thompson – A Day Without You”. I also reported that the line would include: Absolute Batman from Scott Snyder And Nick Dragotta. Absolute Superman from ^ “Jason Aaron”. Absolute Wonder Woman from Kelly Thompson. Absolute Blitz from Jeff Lemire. Absolute Green Lantern from Al Ewing And Absolute Martian manhunter. from Deniz Camp. All but the latter have been announced. As Bleeding Cool reported, Absolute Universe will be about superheroes as underdogs. A radical reinvention of classic DC superheroes in a shared universe as if they were invented today, with Batman as a giant street gangster. But this will be a strand of DC storytelling that will tie in across the entire DC Comics publishing line as part of DC All-In. DC Comics has actually managed to announce Absolute Batman‘s existence by accident in a merchandise post. But since then everything has been official… and we got to see more of Absolute Batman, Absolute Superman, Absolute Wonder Woman and DC All-In. And then Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson told everything… and then D confirmed what we reported Ram V‘s new book bridges the gap between absolute and classical, New Gods. You can use our Absolute tags and DC All-In tags to read all of our past and future coverage of this story.

But today DC unveiled new covers and logos for Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Superman. I mean, I say new, Bleeding Cool had previously Jim Lee’s covers as sketches. But now they are colored.

BATMAN #1
Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta introduce fans to a new Batman with the release of Absolute Batman #1. In this issue, fans are introduced to a version of the Dark Knight who doesn’t have the money, mansion, or butler of his main series counterpart. Readers will quickly find out what makes this version of Batman the “Absolute” version when the debut issue, with colors by Frank Martin and letters by Clayton Cowles, arrives at participating comic shops and digital retailers on Wednesday, October 9. Absolute Batman #1 will feature a main cover by Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin, and variant covers by Wes Craig and Mike Spicer, Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair, Mitch Gerads, and Ian Bertram (1:25).

ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #1
For Diana, there is no island paradise, no sisterhood to shape her, and no mission for peace—so what is the purpose of an Amazon warrior in this new universe? Eisner Award-winning writer Kelly Thompson and emerging artist Hayden Sherman reinvent her from scratch in Absolute Wonder Woman #1, with colors by Jordie Bellaire and letters by Becca Carey, on sale Wednesday, October 23. Absolute Wonder Woman #1 arrives with a main cover by Hayden Sherman and Jordie Bellaire, and various covers by Wes Craig and Mike Spicer, Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair, Jeff Dekal and Dan Panosian (1:25).

ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #1
Writer Jason Aaron and artist Rafa Sandoval join forces to present a new Man of Steel with the release of Absolute Superman #1. This Superman has no family, no Fortress of Solitude, and no home. Will he still stand for truth and justice in this new universe? Readers can find out when Absolute Superman #1, with colors by Ulises Arreola and letters by Becca Carey, hits participating comic shops on Wednesday, November 6.
