DC Comics is rushing Absolute Batman #1 back to the press, and the second printing of the debut issue will come with all-new cover art. The new run will go on sale Oct. 30 and features four new pieces of cover art.

Absolute Batman #1 does not even go on sale until Oct. 9, but DC has confirmed that the debut issue has already completely sold out at the distributor level. The story is written by Scott Snyder and features art by Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin. Absolute Batman #1 is a part of DC’s new All In initiative, with the series being a fresh entry point in DC’s core line in the all-new Absolute Universe of Super Heroes. Absolute Batman #1 is teased as transforming The Dark Knight’s tale for “the modern age”, as Bruce Wayne has no mansion, no money or butler — and all that is left is The Absolute Dark Knight.

Additional variant covers include art by Mike Deodato Jr. and Jao Canola, as well as a foil variant cover featuring interior art from issue #1 by Dragotta and Martin. The second printing of Absolute Batman #1 is available for pre-order now ahead of its Oct. 30 release.

Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman Get New Titles in DC’s Absolute Universe

Absolute Batman will be joined by other new comics featuring the rest of DC’s iconic trinity. Absolute Wonder Woman #1 goes on sale Oct. 23, with Absolute Superman #1 following on Nov. 6. The three Absolute titles will push DC’s iconic trinity to their limits, with Wonder Woman not having the island paradise of Themysicra to guide her on her mission of peace, while Clark Kent has no family or Fortress of Solitude to call home.

DC’s all-new Absolute Universe spins off from the recent Absolute Power summer event that saw DC’s superheroes facing off against the “Trinity of Evil”, consisting of Brainiac, Failsafe and Amanda Waller. In the finale issue, Absolute Power #4, which was released this week, saw Amanda Waller calling in reinforcements from across the Multiverse to help her on her mission to rid the world of all metahumans, with the fate of the entire DC Universe hanging in the balance.
