Absolute Batman Vol. 1: The Zoo free on Hoopla

Absolute Batman Vol. 1: The Zoo

By Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta:   

Absolute Batman reimagines Bruce Wayne not as a wealthy heir, but as a scrappy, self-made engineer driven by his determination to repair Gotham. In this version, Bruce relies on his skills and grit instead of generational fortune. Alfred Pennyworth is re-envisioned as a hardened ex-MI6 agent and mercenary, creating a tougher, more conflicted dynamic between mentor and vigilante.

Absolute Superman Vol. 1: Last Dust of Krypton

By Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval: 

In this reimagined universe shaped by Darkseid, the Science League is corrupt, Krypton is ruthlessly exploited, and the “S” on Superman’s chest represents labor rather than hope. Clark Kent’s parents, banned from the League for criticizing the regime, live as proud workers forced to give everything to Krypton’s ruling class. Raised in this harsh system, Superman becomes a figure of anger and resistance, striving to be a force for good in a broken world.

Absolute Wonder Woman Vol. 1: The Last Amazon on Hoopla

Absolute Wonder Woman Vol. 1: The Last Amazon

By Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman: 

In this reimagining, Wonder Woman is stripped of her paradise home, her Amazonian sisterhood, and her mission of peace, leaving only the Absolute Amazon. Diana’s world unravels when she discovers Queen Hippolyta has hidden the truth about her father. The revelation shocks even Hera, while her daughter Strife eagerly fuels the chaos it creates.
