Article Summary

  • Get an early look at Absolute Batman Annual #1 by acclaimed artist Daniel Warren Johnson from DC Comics.
  • Johnson's YouTube channel reveals behind-the-scenes drawing of Absolute Batman’s latest adventures.
  • The story explores how Batman acquires his Batmobile, featuring real-world grit and monster truck inspiration.
  • The comic boldly tackles themes like Batman fighting white nationalists, promising a powerful narrative edge.

 Daniel Warren Johnson regularly does live drawing videos of whatever he is drawing at the time on his YouTube channel. You should subscribe, I have. In the past, that has given folk advanced looks at all manner of Transformers stuff. But now he is shifting to the Absolute Batman annual, and getting even more interest…

From the San Diego Comic-Con Gotham panel with Batman editor Rob Levin, Matt Fraction, Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta, Daniel Warren Johnson, Dan Jurgens, and Kyle Higgins, the Annual is about how Batman gets his Batmobile. And while on the panel there are jokes about Absolute Batman getting his Batmobile from a Carmax, and Daniel Warren Johnson stating that he had to find a real monster truck that still uses car keys rather than electronic access, Johnson also talked about the real-world relevance of his Absolute Batman Annual story, talking about his anger at the current world and how that will play out in the comic book. And he raised the roof in the room by concluding, about Absolute Batman Annual, with the line "Batman beating up white nationalists."
