Absolute Wonder Woman #3 by Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman published last year may have done much to define the series going forward With Diana on the Island of Hell making a major sacrifice to send Steve Trevor back to the world of men And she goes out on a limb.

Scott Snyder posts the following "Absolute Batman 5 tease This issue pulls no punches." Before adding, "The zoo is 6 issues (then we have a 2 issue story called absolute zero, and then another 6 issue arc and onward!)"
Absolute Zero? One of Scott Snyder's best-known Standard-Batman comics was Zero Year with Greg Capullo, looking at[...]
As well as JSA, comic book writer and artist Jeff Lemire has told his Substack readers about his upcoming DC Comics plans for the Absolute Universe You may recall Bleeding Cool was the first to announce him on Absolute Flash, so he's not taking any chances about the following getting out there He writes,

Absolute Batman #4 sees Gabriel Walta as a guest artist on the series, with a style that is less flashy, more sketchy, and designed to fit the idea of a young Bruce Wayne taking advice from his father when it comes to designing an architectural prize entry.

Absolute Martha Wayne
There were lots of plot scoops that ran on Bleeding Cool through the year But this little note for the launch of Absolute Batman #1, I am told, added another 50,000 orders the weekend that the story appeared on Bleeding Cool That in the Absolute universe, it was Thomas Wayne who was shot[...]
Absolute Batman #4 by Scott Snyder and Gabriel Walta is out this Wednesday; told in flashback from the perspective of Bruce Wayne both before and after his father was murdered by Joe Chill at Gotham Zoo. But because this is Bleeding Cool, we go further than DC Comics' "media partners" and get to go beyond the preview[...]
Next week sees Gabriel Walta take over artistic duties for Absolute Batman #4 from Nick Dragotta (and watch for others to do similar in upcoming issues) who will be back for issue 5, as Scott Snyder and Walta out Bruce Wayne in the dock for a very important trial…

Scott Snyder Launching The Absolute Universe and DC All In
The first inklings came in October 2023. When Bleeding Cool ran gossip about an upcoming publishing project at DC Comics being spearheaded by Scott Snyder. One that has been compared to Marvel Comics' Ultimate line And in April 2024, we had a name for it, Absolute Comics. Or just Absolute[...]
Today sees the publication of Absolute Wonder Woman #3 by Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman And in doing so may define the series going forward Absolute Batman and Absolute Superman made major changes to their characters in the first issues, Wonder Woman made more of a change to the circumstances rather than the character, brought[...]
Absolute Batman #3 again absolutely dominates this list, beating out Ultimate Spider-Man, Marvel's best-seller, by a significant margin New Gods makes a strong launch for DC Comics too, beating Marvel's own launches, TVA and Hellverine. GI Joe is still outperforming for Image, as is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for IDW Five for Marvel., three for DC, one[...]
Absolute Batman #3 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta continues to show a different Batman making different choices courtesy of different circumstances A Bruce Wayne without means, while those around him are making megadeals With Harvey Dent looking into such a deal with the redolent phrase "Ark M Fund"

So don't miss out – pre-order now! Haven't teased much from this issue, so here's a sneaky peek!"

But you can see what Bleeding[...]
Gabriel Walta is drawing Absolute Batman #4 instead of Nick Dragotta, which is a step away for the title As the solicitation asks, "How did he get to this point? How did he push himself? And how did the tragic events of his childhood, and the advice of his father, shape the man who he[...]
In the first issue of Absolute Superman #1, we learned that this Kal-El grew up on Krypton with his family Which meant he went to school there, as a teenager And had to study in the Kryptonian way, as we see in today's Absolute Superman #2.
And while children in out schools are being punished (when[...]
A month ago, I wrote an article entitled "DC Wants Justice League Unlimited To Outsell Absolute Wonder Woman", in which I looked at the incentives being offered by DC Comics to comic book retailers ordering both titles to let retailers order excess issues of JLU #1 for a dollar each if they matched their standard[...]
Tomorrow sees the publication of Absolute Wonder Woman #2 by Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman Now issue 3 is solicited with the words "ENTER! STEVE TREVOR" but it's rather issue 2 that sees him enter properly, as Wonder Woman fights the harbingers of the Tetracide.
And it seems that, while Absolute Wonder Woman is new, their[...]
Or at least for a little bit.
You might google Himon and recall that he is one of the lesser-used New Gods, mostly used by Kirby in Mister Miracle, but he did pop up in All-In.
But you may also realise that The New Gods is the aftermath of the death of Darkseid in DC All-In, and[...]

We ran a bunch of Absolute Batman #2 spoilers over the weekend, collecting a variety of previews and leaks that DC and others had put out over the last month But there may be a few more teases worth putting out there before the publication of the comic by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta tomorrow.
