DC's groundbreaking Absolute Universe initiative continues to expand with exciting new series. This publishing venture allows top-tier comic creators to reimagine iconic characters without being constrained by existing canon. For instance, in Absolute Batman, acclaimed writer Scott Snyder presents an intriguing twist—exploring Bruce Wayne as a non-billionaire batman stripped of his high-tech arsenal.

The series' inaugural story arc is currently available for preorder with an August 5 release date. The second arc launched with issue #7 featuring a fresh interpretation of Mr. Freeze, and the newly released issue #9 introduces a revamped version of classic villain Bane. While maintaining his signature luchador physique and Venom enhancements, this iteration features new motivations and surprising ties to Alfred Pennyworth.
IGN recently interviewed Absolute Batman's creative team—writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Dragotta. Snyder emphasized their approach to Bane's characterization: "We wanted someone whose sheer physical presence makes Bruce Wayne appear smaller in comparison." The issue also debuts this universe's versions of Dick Grayson (pre-Robin/Nightwing) and Deathstroke.
Absolute Batman #9 contains 32 pages of content, available now as a Kindle edition ($4.99) or physical copy from Amazon at a 33% discount ($19.89).
