Absolute Batman #14 Concludes ‘Abomination’ With a Brutal, Stadium-Scale Showdown

A two-week delay let Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta add pages that sharpen the arc’s emotional core and grotesque spectacle.

Overview

  • DC Comics has released Absolute Batman #14, closing the ‘Abomination’ arc with a public, high-impact clash that anchors the issue’s climax.
  • The narrative centers on Batman refusing a corrupt shortcut and relying on a network of allies, reframing him as a leader rather than a lone avenger.
  • Reviewers highlight Nick Dragotta’s visceral art and Frank Martin’s colors for leaning into body horror while keeping the focus on character and stakes.
  • The issue was pushed two weeks past its initial date so Snyder and Dragotta could add five pages, a change critics say improves pacing and payoff.
  • A final coda tees up new consequences and future conflicts, and Issue #15 is expected on December 10, 2025 with Jock on art, according to FandomWire.
