Absolute Batman marks the beginning of DC's new All In publishing initiative, launched in late 2024. This initiative allows acclaimed creators to explore these characters without the constraints of pre-established continuity, enabling them to take creative liberties and truly make the characters their own.

IGN's Jesse Schedeen recently interviewed the creators to discuss the future following the completion of their first arc. Absolute Batman subtly teases the presence of iconic villains like Bane and the Joker. Scott Snyder, the writer, shared, " . . . 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.” The implications of this statement will unfold as the series progresses.
