Absolute Batman Vol. 3: Devil's Workshop

Batman has just beaten Bane in a brutal fight, but the win has cost him. His friends have been changed in ways that can't be undone, and the only way he can reach them may be to cross into another world and bargain with a god.

Gotham, meanwhile, has trouble of its own. Another inmate of Ark M is let loose on the city, and the Joker, Poison Ivy and the Court of Owls all join the story. Underneath it all sits the question the series keeps circling: who is the man really pulling the strings?

This third collection of Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta's Absolute Batman also brings in artist Jock, who reunites with Snyder for a story that shows one version of what Alfred has spent years chasing. A one-shot digs into how Ark M came to be.

The book gathers the 2025 Annual, the Ark M special, and issues #15 to #18 of the series.
