In the Absolute Universe, Bruce Wayne is neither a billionaire nor the heir to a vast fortune. An engineer from a working-class background in Gotham, he nevertheless chooses to become Batman and confront a city consumed by violence and corruption. With no manor, no wealth, and no Alfred serving at his side as a butler, he relies on his intelligence, physical strength, and equipment he designs himself. As Black Mask and the Party Animals spread terror across Gotham, Bruce also discovers that Alfred Pennyworth, a former MI6 agent, is pursuing objectives of his own. This new version of the Dark Knight reinvents his origins while preserving his defining obsession: protecting Gotham at any cost.

Issue 1
Bruce Wayne is not leaving anything. He is not the descendant of a rich empire in Gotham City, he is the son of a public school teacher who, as a child, has experienced the unimaginable horror of a shooting, forever changing the trajectory of his life. Without unlimited resources to finance him, without manor or butler to look after him, Bruce became a Batman of a completely different kind, both cerebral and ultra-must, living in the most difficult and disadvantaged quarters of Gotham, far from the high society. And while the Black Mask gang is spreading terror in the city, he will not hesitate to unleash a torrent of violence against his opponents to make the message clear: there is a new Batman in town.
Issue 2
Bruce Wayne investigates the mysterious site known as Arke M, and confronts his friends without wanting to face dangers that go beyond them all – including Batman. What happens in this terrifying complex that hides in its heart creatures all more monstrous than each other? And who is Bane, the mysterious colossus charged with looking after the darkest secrets of the Ark?
Issue 3
Freshly escaped from the terrible complex of the Ark M, Dr. Pamela Isley sees herself animated by endless hatred and a longing for revenge towards Gotham and those who locked her in the belly of the beast. To try to save the city and stop this dreadful plant creature, Batman will have to survive a torrent of endless horrors and do not retreat from anything... But as the shadow of the Joker extends ever more and more on Gotham, perhaps the most dangerous monster is not the one we believe.
