Yesterday, Bleeding Cool got our first look at this Absolute Wonder Woman with a massive broadsword, body armour, and tattoos from her shoulders down her arms. And a tipped tiara. Oh, and Absolute Superman and Absolute Batman by her sides.

Bleeding Cool has reported how the Absolute Universe, created from the energy of Darkseid, will be about superheroes as underdogs, rising up, having to be brighter. A radical reinvention of classic DC superheroes in a shared universe. Absolute Batman by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, Absolute Superman by Jason Aaron. Absolute Wonder Woman by Kelly ThompsonAbsolute Flash by Jeff Lemire. Then that Al Ewing would write Absolute Green Lantern and Deniz Camp would write Absolute Martian Manhunter.

But also that this will be one strand of DC narratives going forward, with a jumping-on point across the DC Comics publishing line, as part of DC All-In. The new relaunch for DC Comics in October, which will encompass the new Absolute Universe line but also across the board with new creators, new story arcs and new concepts for characters, intended to be a jumping-on-point for readers for DC Comics as a whole. Expect more news this week, running into San Diego Comic-Con and beyond. And you can use our Absolute tag, and DC All-In tag to catch up on all our previous and future reporting on this story, which has been going since last October.
