Don't bet against Batman. That's the lesson this week as DC states that Absolute Batman #1 is now the top-selling single issue comic of the year, just over a month after its October 9 release. Absolute Batman #1 has sold just under 400,000 through the direct market across all printings, Newsarama understands.
Absolute Batman is the flagship title of DC's new Absolute Universe, which relaunches DC heroes in a new reality under vastly different circumstances from core DC continuity. In Batman's case, Bruce Wayne is a civil engineer of modest means who also happens to be the biggest man in the world whose bat-symbol is also a battleax strapped to his chest, and whose Batmobile is a massive freakin' killdozer tank.
