Sorry I’m a tad late on this here on BOF proper. Wasn’t able to get it up until now, but did post it on BOF social media this morning when I got word from DCS/WBA…

Per a press release from DC Studios/Warner Bros. Animation, a new animated Batman TV series is in the works based on the best-selling ABSOLUTE BATMAN comic book series written by Scott Snyder with art by Nick Dragotta Here’s the official description:

ABSOLUTE BATMAN boldly reinvents the Batman mythos for a new generation of fans, reimagining The Dark Knight as a working-class hero up against impossible odds (and the most terrifying foes ever), on a mission to prove that even in an era of wealth, power and corruption, one good person can change the world.

No manor, no money… all Batman. When you take away the manor, the money, the advantages, what you’re left with is something absolute.

This series is listed as being “in development” and for an “adult” audience.  Scott Snyder will serve as executive producer and shower, with Dragotta as producer. Where will it air? The network is listed as TBA.

As far as the comic book series upon which it is based, ABSOLUTE BATMAN has sold more than 6 million copies, with Absolute Batman #1 reaching an 11th printing. You can read BOF’s reviews of this comic book title HERE which are written/reviewed monthly by yours truly.

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
