Absolute Batman: Ark M #1 by Scott Snyder, Frank Tieri, Joshua Hixson is published by DC Comics next week. Although, it seems, a fair number of folk were selling it last week, and this week. Hence the below. I'll keep the spoilers light at top, increase in severity as we go down, and evade the bigger story beats. This is more for flavour… and a bit of first appearance notes for speculators at the bottom. Because when Ark-M was first established in the Absolute Universe, in Absolute Batman, it took the place of Arkham Asylum and Arkham Tower, one of a number of Arks, private prisons that used their imprisoned population for experimentation, away from the eyes of government. And Ark-M just happened to be the one closest to Gotham, the DC Universe history of Arkham Asylum done away with.
Well, that all changes with Ark-M. Instead we get a history of the place that preceded Ark-M, on the very grounds of the building, built on slaughter of pain.
As well as the mindset of this Dr Arkham who built it. And eventually burned it to the ground…
As well as those who were interned and imprisoned there. Recognise someone? Or are they flapping around a red herring, or other variety of fish?
And in the building that replaces this one, mentions of names…
Whether that be names familiar to the likes of Poison Ivy, Man Bat, Harley Quinn or Hugo Strange, now all tied to Ark-M. But also the first proper appearance of someone who was denied their first cameo appearance in an earlier edition of Absolute Batman, a note that was changed before it saw print, comic book speculators out there… No, not Dick Grayson, you'll have to wait a little longer for him. Absolute Batman: Ark M #1 by Scott Snyder, Frank Tieri, Joshua Hixson is published by DC Comics next week.
