Article Summary

  • Scott Snyder plans for Absolute Batman to potentially run up to 60 gripping, ever-expanding issues.
  • Absolute Wonder Woman crossover in January will see Batman seek Diana's help for Waylon’s troubling change.
  • Upcoming arcs dive deep into new takes on villains like Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, and the Riddler.
  • Heartbreaking moments, shifting alliances, and a focus on dramatic change dominate the Absolute Batman saga.

On the Heroes Journey podcast, Scott Snyder has been teasing what's ahead for Absolute Batman and his ilk. Here are a few bits that drop out if you hold the podcast by its ankles and shake vigorously. Shake it out, shake it out…

  • Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta's Absolute Batman first overall arc is intended to last thirty-five to forty issues, but Scott Snyder believes it will keep expanding as they go, and will probably go fifty or sixty issues…
  • The Absolute Wonder Woman crossover beginning in January is focused on Bruce Wayne trying to help Waylon and going to Wonder Woman to try to find some way of stopping this transformation.
  • The next arc with Nick Dragotta brings in Scarecrow and how Bruce decides that all he does is hurt people, so he needs to actually shut everybody out, which brings him closer to Harley Quinn and the Red Hood gang.
  • We'll be seeing the Absolute Penguin, Absolute Two-Face and Absolute Riddler. But don't expect them to be just Batman villains. There are people who are deliberately awful in very powerful positions in the Absolute Universe; they'll all be facing something much worse.
  • There's a pretty heartbreaking scene in the Absolute Wonder Woman crossover, where Batman goes to talk with his friends, and they are not particularly pleased with the way things are going.
  • After this, there will be a small story afterwards with the Absolute Poison Ivy, again largely about everything changing.
