Western Comic Absolute Batman #1 Sees Shocking Price Hike After Adaptation News
Absolute Batman #1 prices are through the roof on eBay, with raw copies hitting $315 and signed editions soaring to $1330. This shocking surge follows last month's announcement: an adult animated series (not anime) is coming from WB Animation and DC Studios. Scott Snyder is set to executive produce, with Nick Dragotta also producing. Revealed at Annecy 2026, this adaptation news instantly sent the value of the already best-selling comic into overdrive.
