After helming one of the all-time great Batman runs with Greg Capullo, award-winning comic book creator Scott Snyder is returning to DC Comics to introduce a very different kind of Dark Knight in the new series Absolute Batman.
Set in the newly-minted Absolute Universe, featuring bold new visions of DC's biggest icons, Snyder is teaming up with acclaimed artist Nick Dragotta to create a radically new take on the Caped Crusader that's already garnering plenty of internet buzz for his appearance. In the Absolute Universe, Bruce Wayne isn't a billionaire playboy, but rather a civil engineer in Gotham City whose moral crusade places him against the authority and privileged figures oppressing Gotham's masses.
