Strip away the fortune. Remove the fortress. What remains is pure vengeance. Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta unleash a Batman stripped to his essence—a vigilante born from tragedy, not privilege. Bruce Wayne's a public school teacher's son who witnessed unspeakable violence and clawed his way into becoming something fearless and unstoppable. No billions. No butler. No mansion sanctuary. Just raw intellect, relentless physicality, and an uncompromising mission in Gotham's most brutal neighborhoods. The Absolute Universe shatters everything you believed about the Dark Knight, delivering a hero who operates without safety nets, without pretense, without mercy. This is Batman reimagined as a force of nature—dangerous, authentic, and utterly unstoppable.
