'Absolute Batman' #6 Preview: Batman Faces Off Against Black Mask This March

Absolute Batman has become a breakout hit in DC All In, earning praise and strong sales that have led to multiple reprints. This spring, Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta, and Frank Martin bring their first story arc, “The Zoo,” to an epic conclusion in Absolute Batman #6.

In this series, readers have watched Bruce Wayne build his life around becoming stronger and smarter than the challenges and enemies he faces. He’ll need every bit of that strength, skill, and determination to take down Black Mask and his gang of Party Animals—without the help of Alfred Pennyworth, his surprising new ally from MI6.

Plus, the roles of Bruce’s childhood friends, including Selina Kyle, Edward Nygma, Waylon Jones, Harvey Dent, and Oswald Cobblepot, are still unfolding in his journey as Gotham’s protector.

And this issue is just the start! Future installments will bring new heroes, new villains, and a fresh story arc for this bold take on DC’s Dark Knight.

Some of the best artists in comics have created variant covers for Absolute Batman, and the final issue of this thrilling arc is no different. Absolute Batman #6 will feature variant covers by Frank Quitely, Simon Bisley, John McCrea, and Alex Maleev. Fans can check with their local comic shop for availability and preorders.

Absolute Batman #6 will be available for preorder at participating comic shops starting Friday, December 20, 2024, and will hit comic shops and digital stores on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
