Absolute Batman #21: The Evolution of Penguin and Two-Face

The latest images of Penguin and Two-Face in Absolute Batman have been unveiled. Absolute Batman, a popular DC Comics series by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, presents a unique take on Batman in a universe created by Darkseid. The series showcases a younger Batman facing redesigned versions of classic villains like Bane and Joker.

Absolute Batman #21, set to release on June 10, 2026, features variant covers by Dragotta, Nakayama, Mahnk, and Brunner. The solicitations for the issue tease a dramatic turn of events as friends become enemies, enemies become friends, and Scarecrow's reign of terror threatens to disrupt everything.

In the Absolute Universe, Penguin and Two-Face, portrayed as Bruce's childhood friends, have suffered brutal attacks from Bane. Penguin, with nearly every bone broken by Bane, now relies on guns as crutches. Two-Face, punished by Bane with a cracked skull and half of his body set on fire, has transformed his appearance, resembling a character reminiscent of Sephiroth.

The upcoming Absolute Batman #21 promises to reveal the final forms of these characters and explore the consequences of their traumatic encounters with Bane. Fans can expect a thrilling continuation of the series with the introduction of these iconic villains in their Absolute incarnations.
