Absolute Batman #9 — Brian Bolland Cardstock Variant Cover (2025) | Abomination, Part One

Absolute Batman #9 — Brian Bolland Cardstock Variant Cover is a striking DC Comics collectible featuring a dark, experimental interpretation of Batman from the Absolute Universe. The cover presents Batman wearing a black-and-white cowl with glowing red eyes and a menacing, skeletal-looking mouth, while large mechanical tubes and equipment connect to his body and backpack-like apparatus. The dramatic artwork combines black, gray, green and warm metallic tones to create a futuristic, sinister atmosphere.

This variant is illustrated by legendary comic artist Brian Bolland and was released as a Cardstock Variant Cover for Absolute Batman #9. The issue, written by Scott Snyder with interior art by Nick Dragotta and colors by Frank Martin, begins the “Abomination, Part One” storyline and introduces the Absolute Universe's formidable version of Bane.

A strong addition for Absolute Batman collectors, DC Comics fans, variant-cover collectors and Brian Bolland art enthusiasts.
