Tomorrow DC Spoils Absolute Batman #19 With The Cover Of #20
UPDATED IMAGE: Tomorrow DC Comics will spoil the ending of Absolute Batman #19 with the cover of Absolute Batman #20 (Spoilers)
Article Summary
- DC Comics will spoil the ending of Absolute Batman #19 with the cover of Absolute Batman #20.
- Scott Snyder reveals the cover features a new concept of the Robins, hinting at big changes for Gotham.
- The Absolute Batman #20 cover introduces Mecha-Robins, who appear to think the Absolute Joker is an ally.
- Expect major alliances, new villains, and shocking revelations starting in Absolute Batman #19’s storyline.
A new version of this story, with a full, updated image and a little analysis of the reveals, can be found here. The original article continues below: This is an article about spoilers. And contains a big spoiler. But also one which it seems DC Comics will be happy to put out there. Absolute Batman writer Scott Snyder posts to social media, saying, "Just a heads up. To give retailers enough time to allow people to order issue 20 before FOC 2 weeks from today, we're going to reveal the cover to 20 this Wednesday. It's not ideal as the cover shows our concept of Robin, but we don't want to hamstring retailers either." Because this is the cover they have previously teased. With the suggestion that they will be revealing the Absolute Robins. Plural.
Here's the thing: the actual reveal of that is in Absolute Batman #19, out in a week's time. And I understand it is at the very end, a cliffhanger. And this cover reveals that cliffhanger, it's not actually in Absolute Batman #19 at all. So DC Comics is going to openly spoil Absolute Batman #19 with something that isn't even revealed in the comic; instead, this is basically the first panel of Absolute Batman #20. Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound, if DC Comics can do it tomorrow, Bleeding Cool can do it today… but we'll do this first.
A big spoiler image. There you go. And so now, to the cover of Absolute Batman #20. Or at least a bit of it. You can see Batman's ears from the original teased cover sticking out at the bottom. UPDATED IMAGE:
That's right, folks, we are talking Mecha-Robins. Who all believe that the Absolute Joker is the good guy… as for who the Absolute Robins are? Well, the colours in the original teased Absolute Batman #20 image may hold some clue…
