Summary
DC Comics has delayed Absolute Batman #24 by two weeks, moving its release from September 9, 2026 to September 23, 2026. The article suggests the delay may be intentional to avoid publishing a politically charged comic — one set in a Gotham City resembling New York — around the 25th anniversary of 9/11. The piece explores the political themes of the Absolute Batman series and the potential reasoning behind the scheduling change.
