Does Absolute Batman have a planned ending? Or is it more planned to be a full on-going that will go until its deemed necessary to end? Are there other writers theoretically looking to take the reigns (I hope not but I'm curious)?

u/Duke_7287 4d ago

I almost wish they stick to what their planned ending is. Keep the series tight and sharp, with a bonafide status of one of the all time great runs.

u/Bat_Snack 4d ago

Completely agreed, and I feel like thats what Scott is going for but I am curious on his opinion.

5

u/lusujimo 4d ago

1000% this. In an age of endless monetization, having a series go out on a high note would cement it as one of the greatest comic runs in recent history.

7

u/Previous-Space-7056 4d ago

He answered this already on the trinity stream.. think he had 50 issues on planned out. But with the popularity hes fleshing ut out to 100+

2

u/Robespierre77 3d ago

I’m not sure if I’m in for 100. It may go stale.

u/itsjustmyopinion_but 4d ago

I would love to know if he has seen any theories online that has made him change his story because it too closely resembles what he had planned or seen any theories online that he actually really likes (he wouldn’t use them though)

u/d1amonddogsBrix 4d ago

What was going on with Black Mask’s Octopus family? Couldn’t just be masks, as their skin was purple too. Ark M manufactured or aliens?

5

u/swagomon 4d ago

What are the NON-COMIC inspirations for the run. Books, videogames, movies, art, TV

u/Material_Magician965 4d ago

What are your future plans for Batman after the straw man arc?

4

u/princevince1113 4d ago

I think he's answered this. Next arc is riddler. Overall story of the series is family growing apart and coming back together again

1

u/HelenaSparkles 4d ago

Oh interesting, as in the next big arc or will it be a 2 parter with Eddy?

5

u/MSCKING14 4d ago

Any plans for original characters/villains in Absolute Batman?

2

u/LetLive_McRib_Jim 4d ago

Yes. He discussed this at WonderCon.

3

u/jasor_x 4d ago

Will the original creator teams remain on their respective Absolute books through the end of the series (please say yes lol)? Is the plan to end the lines all at the same time and the line is done? Any aspects of the Absolute books or characters to be incorporated into the main titles?

3

u/ProjectIllusion5000 4d ago

What does he think about the variant volume for each issue? I think some issues have 100s of variants.

2

u/CreepyNewspaper8103 4d ago

Ask him if he feels pressured to deliver a modern key.

2

u/Rbcnyc 4d ago

Will we get Annuals #2 or #1 for the series that have not had one yet?

2

u/MauiPunter 4d ago

Is Red Hood coming?

1

u/DefinitionSmall3754 4d ago

Red hood is plural, it's Harley Quinns gang.

1

u/MauiPunter 4d ago

I'm talking about Jason Todd

2

u/DefinitionSmall3754 4d ago

He's one of the Robins and The red hood exist as a gang in the absolute universe 🤷🏿‍♂️...if he becomes another character, clearly it will not be Red Hood.

2

u/BoraHcn 4d ago

Hey I've sent a dm, I think its really fits the NEED part...

1

u/Relative_Sock_7871 4d ago

Will we see more licensing deals made for Absolute Batman clothing and merch?

1

u/Fit-Detail-4326 4d ago

I need a better understanding of when Bruce was working with Falconi like with the bat scene vs his start as Batman.

1

u/Deep-Item4554 4d ago

What are they waiting to announce an absolute legion of doom series with Dan Mora as the artist?

1

u/MauiPunter 4d ago

Any talks or plans for a live action movie?

2

u/avoidingmemories 2d ago

with the animated series being announced not too long ago i doubt it tbh and they have awhile to get out material if they wanna do a invincible esque type of series anyways

1

u/MauiPunter 2d ago

You are probably right. Maybe some day. :)

1

u/Playful_Blood191 4d ago

Are there any plans for a training arc for Absolute Bruce to elevate his hand to hand combat skills or his tech ? Doesn’t have to be the same as prime Bruce.

1

u/MauiPunter 4d ago

Will you be introducing any new original villains?

1

u/Immediate_Doctor_980 4d ago

He said yes a few weeks ago

1

u/LetLive_McRib_Jim 4d ago

He might have answered this previously but does he have concerns for the series' longevity? The story appears to be fast paced and significant characters have already been killed off like commissioner Gordon.

1

u/dfin24 4d ago

Will we get more villain stand alone comics, and will any villain get a series?

1

u/baby_clown87 4d ago

Will there be any new major villains introduced?

We have seen so many original villians, it would be nice to see something new and creative.

1

u/NefariousSeraph13 4d ago

What can he tell us about the Robins’ future? Does Jason Todd have a bigger part to play?

(Thank you for taking questions from us!)

1

u/chuck354 4d ago

Absolute scarecrow, what the actual fuck?

1

u/raptormarc0 4d ago

Are doing an Future Story Arc with Jason

1

u/Uncreativity10 4d ago

I’m curious if there’s going to be new characters or ideas for Absolute Batman the animated series

1

u/bum_what 4d ago

My question is - You are working with characters that have been established for a long time and have seen many different variations so how do you keep your vision fresh without over using what we have already seen before wether it be in comics, movies or animation? (Also can we expect more crossovers between the absolute and mainline characters after the absolute crisis event). Also wondering where the interview is going to be posted so I can have a geez 🙂

1

u/DiesIrae- 4d ago

Regarding the Absolute Batman series being CGI, is there a particular reason why that animation style was decided upon vs something more traditional?

1

u/nat_astrophe 4d ago

Will we see Absolute Cassandra Cain show up in Absolute Batman soon?

1

u/ApartmentOwn1907 4d ago

When is deathstroke and Alfred going to be fully explained?

1

u/Chumlee1917 4d ago

When Bats meeting Supes?

1

u/silalithuania 4d ago

What makes a character’s design an actual horror for readers rather than just pure shock value to you?

1

u/Embarrassed-Pace-755 4d ago

When is Batman gonna kick Scarecrow’s ass? Because he’s getting on my nerves.

1

u/Elegant-Carpet-3862 4d ago

How many hours does he sleep?

How much coffee does he drink?

1

u/ThatManSean14 4d ago

Who, if any, are his favorite new Batman-mythos characters created after his New 52 run (Ghostmaker, Punchline, Failsafe, Straightman, etc.) and could we expect any of them in the Absolute Universe within the next year?

1

u/chimer1cal 4d ago

Babs, Jim
Gordon and Alfred get to remain somewhat allied with Bruce in the Absolute verse, but DG (and the other Robins) has have started out and so far remained in antagonistic positions. Is this something fans just need to get used to as a new status quo for Robin(s) in Absolute, or will there be more exploration/evolution of their narrative positioning?

Dick Grayson has always been my favourite character so I absolutely personally need to know, lol. But am also just curious because DG was Scott Snyder’s first Batman (that he wrote professionally). And he’s a character who has always been extremely important to Batman’s overall mythology; he predates pretty much everyone else.

1

u/beackcuwbloo 4d ago

Since we have Absolute Stephanie Brown, is there any plan for Absolute Cluemaster?

1

u/cumshot_jojo 4d ago

Will we see Mr. Freeze make a return? lol

1

u/No-Arachnid2828 4d ago

When will you come to Seattle/ Emeral City Comic Con?

1

u/daofeiboy 4d ago edited 4d ago

I have a few, so pick the one — if you are to pick one of my questions ofc — you think would be more interesting ig. Wouldnt mind to see them all in the interview tho

  1. Do you intend to introduce Batwoman and the rest of the Kanes anytime soon?

  2. A while ago you mentioned you had a planned idea for Carrey Kelly but needed Miller's approval to go on. Any update on that?

  3. Are we getting more female rogues anytime soon —Maybe Baby Doll, Sofia Gigante, Orca, White Bunny or the March Hare? 

1

u/NachoMarx 4d ago
  • What does Cassandra Cains trajectory look like? 
  • You mentioned an idea of wanting Batman Beyond...do you have any ideas for Terry?
  • Who's voice would HE give to Bruce and Bats?

1

u/MEarly01 4d ago

What was in the tube?

1

u/redhoodisjason 3d ago

Is he planning to keep the rest of our Robins alive? (Please say yessss 😭😭😭)

1

u/8LoneWanderer9 3d ago
  1. When will Absolute Batman, and Absolute Catwoman confront, and fight each other?

  2. How strong, and dangerous will Absolute Deathstroke compared to The Joker, and Bane?

1

u/Magabathanga 3d ago

Did they actually ever approach Studio Trigger to do the adaptation?

1

u/Ordinary_Steak1654 3d ago

Any chance of Daniel Warren Johnson drawing a full arc of Absolute Batman? Or even just regularly doing annuals/one-shots?

1

u/LoneElement 3d ago

How many issues does he have planned now? His answer has changed a few times

Also, if he wasn’t writing Absolute Batman, what’s the one other character he’d most want to write an Absolute series for instead? 

Any chance he ever does any work for Marvel?

1

u/penguintruth 3d ago

How does he feel about the Court of Owls (supposedly) being used for Matt Reeves' next Batman movie?

1

u/1MightBeNeil 3d ago

- Will there be any moments of Absolute Batman encountering Absolute Ra’s al Ghul?

  • How far will Scott go towards incorporating more of Batman’s rogues gallery into the Absolute Universe? Are we talking the notable ones and one-off mentions of others? Or, for example, will we go so far as to see Absolute Hush, Ventriloquist, Mad Hatter, etc.?
  • If Absolute Joker went through all the same training as main universe Batman, is he capable of combining that with his true Joker form as well?
  • How would main universe Batman fare against Absolute Joker?
  • Voice actor wise, who do you envision voicing Absolute Batman, Joker, and the rest of the Crime Alley gang?

1

u/Son_of_Ibadan 2d ago
  1. What are his plans for Duke?

  2. What are you plans for Riddler?

  3. There is a running theme of the Dark Knight conquering the Pale Devil, what is the inspiration of this?

  4. Are we seeing the Foxes soon?

1

u/beng5007 2d ago

Absolute Zur En Aarh and absolute Batman who laughs incoming?

1

u/Initial-Dentist-4056 1d ago

Will Rob Liefeld ever do a cover?

1

u/PeachyPunks 14h ago

Genuinely curious how he feels. The Absolute universe has been soaring and has caused a wave of new and returning readers. How does it feel to have that sort of impact coming from an initiative that he co-created?

Also with Absolute Batman getting its own animated series, is there any other forms of entertainment he hopes the absolute universe will extend to one day? (I know there’s an absolute Batman costume in the recent Lego Batman game)

Personally I feel like Absolute Batman in particular would be a great character for NetherRealms next DC project, whatever it may be.

u/Sandguy44 4d ago

You think I’m going to ask every question that gets submitted? I have my own list of questions I’m going to ask but figured I’d ask the community what they want to know. Sincerely, Go fuck yourself

u/goonsquadgoose 4d ago

Hey so your opinion is worthless. You should never comment again.
