Here lie spoilers about DC All-In and the upcoming Absolute Universe. These are not big spoilers, I do not believe that anything will be spoiled by knowing the two following facts. but for those who want to go in virgin fresh, now is the time to bow out. There may be other articles coming that may be more spoilery, and I will mark them with greater spoilerage, but you get to choose.
One: The first appearance of Absolute Superman, Absolute Batman and Absolute Wonder Woman will be in DC All-In Special #1. You might have thought it, some have presumed it, but right here, right now, I can state it. All three will appear here before their own titles, and not just in a small panel cameo, background appearance or the like. And not in the last issue of Absolute Power. Just in case you wanted to buy an extra copy to keep for best.
Two. The Absolute Universe world is indeed the Elseworld, Alpha Prime, the word seen at the end of Dark Knights: Death Metal #7 back in 2021 and never followed up on until now.
The Elseworld, or Earth Alpha was the other centre of power in the Multiverse, and was a fragment of the Great Darkness, dormant since the first Crisis, and used to imprison Darkseid by the cosmic powers of the Quintessence. which he then escaped. So yes, now that we are finally looking at Earth Alpha, the Elseworld, created by Scott Snyder three years ago, it looks like with the Absolute Universe, he has been planning all this for quite some time…
And Three, DC All In Special is a Flip Book. But it is a flip book that uses the fact that it is a flip book, even more than I did when I write a flip book…
