Absolute Batman #22 — Derrick Chew Cardstock Variant Cover (2026)

Absolute Batman #22 — Derrick Chew Cardstock Variant Cover features a colorful, high-energy depiction of Batman and the Robins racing through a chaotic Gotham City environment.

The artwork presents a large armored Batman figure dominating the center of the composition, with his oversized pointed ears, heavy protective armor, and imposing silhouette immediately drawing attention. Several members of the Robin team appear around him, riding futuristic motorcycles and scooters through the city. Their colorful costumes and distinctive helmets contrast with Batman's darker armored appearance.

Bright orange flames and explosions fill the background between towering city buildings, while vivid blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow tones give the cover a dynamic futuristic aesthetic. Red star-shaped highlights and streaks of light add additional movement and energy to the scene.

The lower portion of the cover features another Robin riding toward the viewer on a brightly colored motorcycle, while additional figures and vehicles appear behind Batman. The composition creates a strong sense of speed, action, and urban chaos.

The ABSOLUTE BATMAN logo appears prominently across the upper portion of the cover, with the DC All In logo and issue number #22 in the upper-right corner. The lower-left area includes the $5.99 cardstock-variant pricing, barcode, and creator credits.

Absolute Batman #22 is written by Scott Snyder, with interior art by Werther Dell'Edera and colors by Frank Martin. The story, “The Straw Man, Part 4: The Crooked House,” features Batman, Harley Quinn, and the Robins. The issue's official solicitation focuses on Harley Quinn's origin and the Robins' evolution in Gotham.
