Scott Snyder Unveils Monstrous Absolute Joker, Set to Debut in December’s Absolute Batman #15

The creator positions this incarnation as Batman’s ideological opposite with vast resources that elevate him beyond a typical anarchic threat.

Overview

  • Scott Snyder shared the first full look at the Absolute Universe’s Joker on September 19, revealing a grotesque, dragon-like redesign.
  • DC’s solicit lists Absolute Batman #15 by Snyder with guest artist Jock, with ComicBook.com reporting a December 10 on-sale date.
  • The appearance caps a long-seeded transformation arc after earlier glimpses showed a handsome figure and a later metamorphosis in progress.
  • Snyder has said this Joker is intended to be the opposite of Batman and may be a billionaire with institutional power.
  • Fans are comparing the design to Elden Ring bosses and Marvel’s Ultimate Green Goblin, underscoring how radically it departs from classic portrayals.
