The Absolute Universe (AU) is an imprint of American comic books overseen by Scott Snyder and published by DC Comics. The comics take place in a shared universe designated Earth-Alpha as part of the DC Comics Multiverse, featuring reimagined and modernized versions of the company's superhero characters from the DC Universe.
The imprint is part of the DC All In initiative, debuting in the aftermath of the 2024 Absolute Power crossover event. It was launched that year with the publication of the ongoing series Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Superman.

Prelude:
DC All-In Special

On going series:
Absolute Batman

This version of Batman doesn’t have the riches or resources we usually associate with the character. He’s a construction worker in his 20s – far removed from the rich playboy/executive we’re used to. Another difference is that this Batman will be an “agent of chaos”, juxtaposing the very organised and prepared interpretation.
Absolute Wonder Woman

The Absolute Universe version of Wonder Woman is an Amazonian warrior (apparently the last one) but she doesn’t come from Paradise Island. Instead, she was raised in the Underworld. As a result, she doesn’t have the sisterhood that shapes the mainstream version of the character, nor the mission of peace.
Absolute Superman

The Absolute Universe version of the character won’t have family, a Fortress of Solitude, or a home to guide him? Jason Aaron is the first Superman writer to be from Kansas, the state where Superman crash lands to Earth as a baby. The writer will use his lived experience to delve into Superman’s experiences. It means that we might not see Superman in Metropolis, at least not initially.
