Absolute Batman’s first 6-issue arc came to a close this past March, with April’s issue #7 set to introduce a new take on the iconic villain Mr. Freeze. If keeping track of single issue comics isn’t your thing, trade paperpack collections are a must-have for those looking to get completed stories and physical media. Absolute Batman Volume 1: The Zoo, written by comics legend Scott Snyder with art by Nick Dragotta, collects issues one through six and is currently available for preorder. It releases on August 5.
It’s available at a number of different retailers, but is currently discounted at Amazon. You can get the paperback for edition for $16.19 (10% off) and the hardcover for 23.24 (7% off).

Absolute Batman is the start of DC’s new All In publishing intiative that gives renowed creators free reign with these characters that started in late 2024. Without the confines of a pre-established continuity, writers and artists are able to take more creative liberty with the characters and truly make them their own. If you’re not sure where to start with the Absolute Universe, check out our reading guide and release schedule.
IGN’s Jesse Schedeen sat down with the creators to discuss what’s to come now that they’ve wrapped their first arc. Absolute Batman drops hints to iconic villains like Bane and the Joker throughout, and writer Scott Snyder says ” . . . 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.” Time will tell how this cryptic message will bear fruit.
