Today is the Final Order Cut-Off date for Absolute Batman #1 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, the last date when comic shops can make orders and be guaranteed to get copies. DC Comics has a lot riding on this launch of the Absolute Universe. I talked about reading the comic over here, but I left off spoilers. Mostly.

But what about for FOC night, if I gave you three big ones right now, none of them about Batman but all of them impacting the comic? First, the big spoiler warning: you go forward with full knowledge of what you do.

Three Big Spoilers For Batman

I just want to say that logo doesn't look like a bat, either. So yes, three big spoilers coming. And none of them are about Batman. Not directly at least. But first, a note to retailers is that stores that match their orders of Absolute Batman #1 to 75% or more of their orders of Batman #125 can then purchase additional copies of Absolute Batman #1 in bundles of 25 for $25 net. So okay, here are those spoilers. There's no going back. But it might make you more intrigued to make sure you get your copy.

James Gordon

First, in this Gotham, James Gordon is not the Police Commissioner, he is the Mayor of Gotham. Which gives him a very different power base, vulnerability, and potentially a very different relationship to the Batman.

Barbara Gordon

Secondly, Barbara Gordon is a police officer, a young black woman. Which suggests they may have a different life story and history together.
