How Absolute Batman Became Impossible to Ignore

Absolute Batman got mocked the second it hit the internet… and then it turned into one of DC’s biggest modern launches.

So how did that happen?

In this video, I break down the “impossible to ignore” engine behind Absolute Batman:

2) Internet attention that turned dunking into curiosity
3) The real-world comic shop mechanics that kept the hype compounding (reprints, variants, and availability)”

👇 Comment: Did you check out Absolute Batman because of the memes, or because it sounded genuinely good?
