Well, skip forward, and while the schedule dropped off during lockdown, DC Comics is still doing the LED frame and the acetate sheet inserts, just less regularly. Which is why they have just got round to doing the Absolute line, with promotional acetate posters featuring cover art from Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman, and Absolute Superman to be displayed.

If you want Absolute Batman, Absolute Superman, or Absolute Wonder Woman to serve as a beacon in the night sky for lost souls seeking Absol-ution, this is your opportunity. Maybe it could be an Absolute Batsignal?

Bleeding Cool first broke the news in 2023 about what would become the Absolute Universe, naming it in 2024 as something equivalent to Marvel's Ultimate Universe, with familiar titles reinvented from scratch, showrun by Scott Snyder, and part of a new DC Comics relaunch called DC All-In. We named Kelly Thompson, Jason Aaron and Al Ewing as contributors before getting the news that it would launch at San Diego Comic Con that year. and getting the full creative line-up for Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman, Absolute Superman, Absolute Flash, Absolute Green Lantern and Absolute Martian Manhunter. Since then, the titles still top the charts, and Absolute Batman is the granddaddy of them all, with the most recent issue topping half a million sales.
