ABSOLUTE BATMAN #16
Description
ABSOLUTE BATMAN IN HELL! Part two of the epic Absolute Batman/Absolute Wonder Woman crossover, Bruce Wayne races to save his friend Waylon, who has become a monstrous crocodile roaming the city’s sewers, driven by a deadly hunger. With the one option left, Batman seeks aid from a god—an answer that drags him toward a perilous descent into the depths of hell to secure salvation—if such a bargain can be trusted. Scott Snyder’s tense writing pairs with Nick Dragotta’s dynamic art to deliver moody, visceral storytelling, where heroism collides with myth and nightmare. The narrative threads through a high-stakes quest for a cure, balancing detective grit with supernatural intrigue, and heightening emotional stakes as the Dark Knight confronts power beyond understanding. This issue of Absolute Batman captures the lavish scale and noir texture fans crave, pushing the series’ boundaries within its crossover spine and expanding the Batman mythos with bold, mythic imagery.
