Absolute Batman #1

A gang of masked killers terrorizes the streets of Gotham. A vigilante fights for his city--but he's not the Batman you know. The Absolute Universe, born out of the Justice League's apocalyptic battle with Darkseid, ushers in a set of brand-new realities that reimagine your favorite heroes as you've never seen them before. In Absolute Batman, meet a young Bruce Wayne with no Wayne Manor, no Alfred by his side, and a different axe to grind as the Dark Knight. From the minds of writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Dragotta, and featuring special guest artist Gabriel Walta, comes an origin story you won't want to miss! Collects ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1-6.
