The first arc of Scott Snyder's new take on The Dark Knight came to an end as Absolute Batman #6 finally hit stores yesterday Wednesday, March 19, 2025. The first arc of the series, which was titled The Zoo, told fans the origins of this new, younger, and much more brutal version of the Dark Knight who is quite different from his non-Absolute counterpart.
In Absolute Batman #6, fans finally get to see Batman take the fight to Roman Sionis aka The Black Mask. As Gotham is in disarray and Bruce Wayne is heavily injured following his final confrontation with Black Mask, the comic sees him do his best to stop the villain and to also stop the terror that has been unleashed upon his city.
With the release of Absolute Batman #6, fans immediately praised writer Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta for delivering a "phenomenal" ending to the first arc of the series. Many fans praised how it was able to take Batman in a much more brutal direction while also setting up future stories in an exciting new way. Here are some of the reactions to Absolute Batman #6:
