What is the Absolute Universe?

Three issues in, we didn't want it to end. The good news is that unlike so many Elseworlds before it, this isn't a limited series or a one-off universe.

The Absolute Universe runs alongside DC's regular books, with the same heroes and none of the baggage. Scott Snyder built it, handed each title to a writer and artist with a strong idea of their own, and let them run with it.

The usual setup is flipped. The villains have the money and the power, and the heroes are… how should we put this… unique. Bruce Wayne never had the fortune. Diana was raised in the Underworld.

Snyder and Nick Dragotta opened the line with Absolute Batman in October 2024. Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman took Wonder Woman, and Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval took Superman. Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Catwoman have followed since, and the shelf keeps growing.

Why we carry it

David stopped reading Absolute Wonder Woman early on so Beth could catch up. It was that good, and he wanted to see her face when she read it.

Why now

  • Absolute Batman #1 is still going back to press. It reached a 12th printing in 2026.
  • The line sold more than 8.2 million copies in 2025, not counting December.
  • Orders for Absolute Batman #18 passed 300,000 in early 2026.
  • The readers it brings into shops don't stop at Batman. Image Comics has said people who come in for Absolute Batman are leaving with Image books too.
  • In June 2026, DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation announced an Absolute Batman animated series, with Scott Snyder as showrunner.
  • The comics come from DC.
