Nick Dragotta, co-creator of the Absolute Batman comic series, has expressed enthusiasm for the possibility of Studio Trigger adapting it into an anime. This interest was shared during an AMA session, where both Dragotta and writer Scott Snyder were questioned about potential adaptations of their work. Absolute Batman features a reimagined Bruce Wayne as a 24-year-old engineer in Gotham, who constructs his own crimefighting armor. While Dragotta is excited about the idea, he admits he lacks insider knowledge on DC’s licensing plans, leaving fans hopeful yet cautious about the collaboration. The first year of Absolute Batman concluded with issue #13, showcasing significant confrontations including a showdown with Bane alongside Catwoman.

Will there be an Absolute Batman anime adaptation by Studio Trigger?

While Nick Dragotta has expressed a desire for an adaptation, there are currently no confirmed plans from DC regarding a partnership with Studio Trigger. Fans will need to stay tuned for any future announcements about the project.

Absolute Batman is a fresh interpretation of the iconic hero, distinct for its focus on Bruce Wayne’s engineering background rather than immense wealth. Launched in 2023, the series showcases a grittier tale that integrates classic elements of the Batman mythology while introducing new dynamics. Studio Trigger, recognized for high-quality animation and hits like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, could potentially bring a unique style to this innovative take on the Dark Knight, sparking excitement among fans of both the comics and animation.
