Last week , DC Comicsteased out some more details about its upcomingAbsolute comics , which propose to reintroduce classical DC fictitious character with new , update descent and contexts . While it ’s canonically fix something to do with Darkseid , the big attraction is the new look for Batman ( beefy ! ) , Superman ( long hair ! ) , and Wonder Woman ( blade ! ) .
It was the Dark Knight that raised the most eyebrow since more often than not , Bruce has a slender shape than the elephantine mammoth of Absolute Batman . During today ’s control board at San Diego Comic - Con , Snyder deal some new detail on his and Nick Dragotta’sAbsolute Batmancomic due out in October . If you ’re a size someone , Snyder revealed that this version of Bruce is 6’2 , 250 - pound 20 - something taking a twinge at crimefighting . And alternatively of pretending to be a rich socialite , he ’ll be a city engineer for Gotham . Also a Gallic bulldog possessor !
Snyder was n’t kidding when he called this a “ top to bottom reinvention ” of the fictional character . While twinkle on secret plan detail , he further revealed the book ’s master baddie ( at least for now ) would be Black Mask , and Alfred Pennyworth will be the al-Qur’an ’s POV fictitious character . While still old , this Alfred ( or rather , “ centime ” ) is absolutely not , and never has been , a butler . rather he ’s a former MI-6 undercover agent and “ old sentry go of empire ” who ’s not so old-hat that he ca n’t spouse with Batman out in the field .

After Snyder , Jason Aaron speak about his and Rafa Sandoval’sAbsolute Superman . After being approached by Snyder to start over to DC from Marvel , Aaron decided that he “ really want ” to do the Man of Steel and cooked up a new take on the character . He assured that his goal was n’t to exchange the hero ’s core , but to “ look at [ his ] original construct and ask what he ’d be like if created today . ” This new Superman lacks his classic support organization of the Kent sept , the Fortress of Solitude , and he ’s basically stateless . To Aaron , the Absolute cosmos ’s big draw is the Trinity being so isolated from each other . “ Things did n’t bring out the way they were supposed to , ” he say . “ That ’s left Superman a little bit isolated , a little scrap angry … and kinda aphrodisiacal , if you ask me . ”
Finally , Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman’sAbsolute Wonder Womanwill see Diana as “ the last Amazon and the first superhero , ” said Sherman . Of the trio , she ’s got the most interesting look with her subdivision tattoos and big - ass sword . In addition to being a warrior , she ’s also a witch literally raise in hell who ’s “ armed to the teeth . [ … ] She is fire underneath . ” If that were n’t metal enough , her black pinched horse cavalry with backstage may seal the hand . The hand with this Diana and what conflicts she ’ll be facing are still currently under wrap .
Along with the Trinity , there ’s also a fourthAbsolutebook on the way . Come early 2025 , Jeff Lemire and Nick Robles will introduceAbsolute Flashinto the world , though the panel did n’t put up any details beyond its existence :
