Absolute Batman #22 — Nick Dragotta Main Cover (2026)

Absolute Batman #22 — Nick Dragotta Main Cover presents a dramatic, high-energy scene from DC Comics' Absolute Universe. The artwork features Batman alongside several members of the Robins, creating a striking ensemble composition against a chaotic urban backdrop.

Batman dominates the center of the cover in his distinctive Absolute Universe design, wearing a dark, heavily stylized costume with his characteristic oversized pointed ears and flowing cape. Several costumed figures surround him, including multiple Robin characters positioned throughout the composition. The characters are shown in dynamic poses, giving the artwork a strong sense of movement and action.

The background is filled with tall city buildings and intense orange flames or explosions, creating a vivid contrast with the dark costumes. The cover uses bold combinations of orange, purple, blue, black, gray, and red, giving the artwork a colorful yet gritty comic-book aesthetic.

The ABSOLUTE BATMAN title is prominently displayed across the upper portion of the cover, while the DC All In logo and issue number #22 appear in the upper-right corner. The lower-left portion contains the barcode and creator credits, while the overall composition emphasizes the large-scale conflict surrounding Batman and the Robins.

Absolute Batman #22 is written by Scott Snyder, with interior art by Werther Dell'Edera and colors by Frank Martin. The main cover is by Nick Dragotta, with Dragotta credited for pencils and inks and Martin for colors. The issue's story, “The Straw Man, Part 4: The Crooked House,” focuses on Batman, Harley Quinn, and the Robins, and continues the Absolute Universe storyline.
