Legendary Artist Greg Capullo Fuels 'Absolute Batman' Return Buzz

A legendary Western comic artist just dropped a bombshell on social media. Greg Capullo, known for his gritty, dynamic art style, posted a drawing of Batman, specifically the distinctive 'Absolute Batman' design. This immediately ignited fan speculation: is he returning to the character?

This isn't just any artist; Capullo and writer Scott Snyder form a dream team, much like iconic mangaka duos who consistently deliver hits. Snyder had previously hinted at 'one more major run together,' and Capullo's tease has fans buzzing.

For those unfamiliar, the 'Absolute Universe' is DC Comics' bold reimagining of classic heroes, spearheaded by Snyder. 'Absolute Batman' is its undisputed titan, regularly topping sales charts. Capullo had earlier stated he'd mostly stick to covers, reserving interior work for his creator-owned projects. But his recent post, showing him drawing the Caped Crusader, suggests a change of heart. Could we see more than just a cover for 'Absolute Batman #25'? With the pair having co-created fan-favorite elements like the Court of Owls, anything feels possible.
