So you've heard about the DC Absolute Universe and you're wondering what it is all about.
While details about Absolute DC is still coming out, I decided it might be useful to make a breakdown of what we know so far (mostly from SDCC).
DC Absolute Universe Breakdown:
Tumblr media
The Absolute universe is a new alternate universe influenced by Darkseid energy. It is a 'darker' universe where all the heroes have lost something key to their Earth 0 selves which leaves them as underdogs. While separate to the main universe it will link in through the events of the All In initiative. There doesn't seem to be many superhero teams yet, but a lot of iconic heroes have had their own solo series' announced:
Absolute Batman (By Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta):
Tumblr media
The series brave enough to ask...what if Batman was an absolute unit. This is a Batman with no money and no status as the Prince of Gotham. Instead he is a construction worker and city engineer who has turned himself and his costume into an absolute weapon. He has an adorable French Bulldog and is also apparently blonde.
Tumblr media
This Bruce Wayne never had a butler but there still is an Alfred in the Absolute Universe: Alfred "Penny", the grizzled and tired MI-6 spy. They seemingly meet for the first time when Bruce has already began his caped crusade against crime (and the series' confirmed big bad Black Mask)
Tumblr media
Bonus: The Jim Lee variant cover gives us a better look at his costume's armoured texture and one of his weapons. He's seemingly more of a heavy hitter than the Batman we know.
Tumblr media
Absolute Wonder Woman (By Kelley Thompson and Hayden Sherman):
Tumblr media
This Wonder Woman was raised not in Paradise Island but rather in The Underworld. She has no sisters and no quest for peace. Instead she is the last of the Amazons who becomes a warrior and a witch, and eventually the Absolute Universe's first superhero. She is more heavily armed, carries a massive sword, and flies around on a skeletal pegasus made of iron.
Tumblr media
Unlike her Earth counterpart who is notable for not wearing a mask, this Wonder Woman seemingly has two, including a rather demonic looking helmet. Also, her colour scheme is based less on the American flag and more on the idea of lava under rocks.
She also has a Jim Lee variant cover which suggests she also will have a lasso.
Tumblr media
Absolute Superman (By Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval):
Tumblr media
Superman is the member of the trinity we know the least about. He is supposed to be more alien (suggested by his glowing red arms and the fact the cape seems to be made of pure energy) and according to the solicitation is "Without the fortress... without the family... without a home" but honestly we don't know much more.
We do have some cool art though (including another Jim Lee Variant):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Absolute Green Lantern (By Al Ewing and Jahnoy Linsday)
Absolute Green Lantern is a "first contact" story and "reimagining" of the Green Lantern mythos featuring Jo Mullein, Hal Jordan, and John Stewart. We have some cool concept art of it including a redesign of Jo that suggests the lanterns might be in civilian clothing illuminated green.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Absolute Flash (By Jeff Lemire and Nick Robles)
Tumblr media
This is the book we know the least about. All we really can infer apart from the creative team is that the Flash is presumably Wally West and that he appears to be more tortured character than in most other iterations.
(Shout out to Bleeding Cool for posting photos of the SDCC slides for people who weren't there)

If you guys need a reason to be excited for DC’s upcoming ‘All-In’ initiative, I was only regularly reading Action Comics with the occasional interesting mini-series, but now I got five ongoing titles on my pull list!
Seriously, Action Comics by Mark Waid! Al Ewing writing a Green Lantern book! Kelly Thompson’s Absolute Wonder Woman looks so badass! Jeff Lemire and Tate Brombal writing JSA and a Cassandra Cain Batgirl book respectively!
It feels good to be this excited for DC Comics again!

Youtube rage baiters are already furious about this unnecessary ‘new’ green lantern, saying a book with her won’t sell well and her existence is obvious pandering. That they should just bring Hal Jordan back (as if he doesn’t have a current ongoing)
But like it’s just a reimagining of Jo Mullein who’s been a thing since 2019 and the multi award winning series Far Sector by NK Jemsin which has been considered by dc as iconic/popular enough to reprint as part of their compact comic line. Who’s shown up in other lantern runs since. Also if you want Hal Jordan in this series so badly I have great news for you: it’s already been announced he’s in it along with John Stewart.
Sometimes I feel like the term fake fan should be allowed but only for these bad faith bigots.

Any particular expectations for Absolute GL, Flash, and Martian Manhunter?
In terms of personal enjoyment I'm expecting it to go Absolute Martian Manhunter > Absolute Flash > Absolute GL. Camp has proven himself repeatedly, Lemire shines writing protags from small rural towns which fits Wally to a T, while Ewing... outside of Immortal Hulk has been striking out for me. Also I'm not thrilled that AGL is recreating the mainline GL status quo of involving multiple human Lanterns. Granted we don't know if any will have powers beyond Jo, but I wish it had simply been one Lantern. Snyder spoiled that we are getting Jo, Hal, John, Guy, and Kyle involved and frankly that feels ridiculous. Are they all going to share the power? Is it just Jo but somehow all the people who "should" be Lanterns get involved as supporting cast? Maybe I'll be won over in the execution, but conceptually I'm not hooked.

Instead of expensive watch tower, they meet up in apartment of the one who (at that moment) is alone and least wanted/observed by the police.
They watch Bruce's powerpoint presentation while eating insta-noodles.
Wally does his homework in the meantime. Sometimes gets help from Bruce with math and Clark/Kal with languages.

If we do get an absolute justice league it'd be the funniest line up ever I will die on this hill

SDCC 2025: Absolute Green Lantern to launch March 2025 #comics #comicbooks #sdcc #sdcc2024 #comiccon #sdcc24
During San Diego Comic-Con, more details for DC Comics‘ “Absolute” line were revealed. The new initiative is similar to Marvel’s “Ultimate” line featuring new stories and takes on DC’s classic characters. It all begins with DC All In Special #1 which launches in October. That comic kicks off the “All In” initiative that begins new storylines for DC’s core comic titles as well as the “Absolute”…
