About this Collection

This inaugural volume of the Absolute Batman series, set in the Absolute Universe, collects the opening story arc 'The Zoo.' Written by Scott Snyder with art by Nick Dragotta, the tale reimagines Bruce Wayne's early years as Batman in a darker, more primal Gotham City. Key characters from the catalog—including Alfred Pennyworth, Barbara Gordon, Black Mask, the Joker, and Selina Kyle—appear in this fresh take on the Dark Knight's mythology.
