Printwatch: Absolute Batman #1 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta gets a tenth printing

Article Summary

Absolute Batman #1 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta hits an impressive tenth printing milestone.
Recent issues set huge print run records, prompting new printings to meet surging demand for the series.
The 10th printing comes with multiple variant covers, including open-to-order foil and cardstock editions.
Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1 also returns with a second printing and several collectible cover options.

Bleeding Cool just ran the news that Absolute Batman #14 had a 200,000 print run while Absolute Batman #15 had 300,000. Which means that previous issues of the series have some catching up to do, which is why DC Comics is sending lots of them back for more printings, including Absolute Batman #1 getting a tenth printing, something only the Transformers and Void Rivals comics over at Skybound/Image Comics have done in recent memory. And deserving a PrintWatch breakout article, I guess… will they go for an eleventh, do you think? And Absolute Batman Annual also gets a second printing for the same day.
