While Marvel announced future films and controversial castings for the MCU during this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, DC Comics seemed to have minimal adaptational offerings. However, while the film and television news might’ve been scarce, several panels detailed the publisher’s fall comics lineup, a shakeup promising a new entry point for readers new and old. DC All-In was a way of revitalizing DC’s brand, but it wasn’t just a simple relaunch that was promised.
One of the most anticipated announcements for the company, with rumors coming from Rob Liefeld himself on his podcast in January 2024, was that of DC doing an equivalent to Marvel’s Ultimate line. Seeing how successful Marvel’s recent revitalization of the line was, with Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate X-Men, and The Ultimates all critical and commercial successes, it’s little wonder why DC would want to tap into a completely new universe for their most prominent characters— especially after the failure of previous attempts such as Earth One. While the specifics of how this universe came to be are still murky, all DC has promised readers is this: it will spin out of the events of Absolute Power, Darkseid will have a hand in establishing this new world, and it will provide readers with all new takes on some of DC’s premiere heroes.
The new design led to speculation about what this new Batman would be like until Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta revealed the specifics of this new Batman characterization at SDCC. It was only a few days before the convention that readers would learn the concept of Absolute Comicsdue to Snyder and Joshua Williamson revealing it via DC’s YouTube. The core vision unites all the different interpretations of characters within it— Absolute would strip a hero of elements that previously defined their situations while keeping their moral cores intact.
