Absolute Batman marks the launch of DC's new All In publishing initiative, which began in late 2024.

IGN's Jesse Schedeen had an insightful conversation with the creators about the future following the conclusion of their initial arc. Absolute Batman teases appearances from iconic villains like Bane and the Joker. Scott Snyder, the writer, hinted, " . . . this Joker is already really terrifying by the time he meets Batman. But his relationship with Batman is part of something that really evolves as the series goes." We'll have to wait and see how this intriguing statement unfolds.
