He is the Tom Holland of DC Comics (though he looks more like Rami Malek). And it seems to have done him well, in terms of boosting interest and sales over the years. Snyder seems to be very much of the Dan DiDio school of thought, who said that he had never seen a spoiler that cost DC Comics a single dollar in sales. But maybe,<a href=\"https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/comics\/scott-snyder-spoiled-absolute-batman-15-more-than-we-ever-could\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> after the reveal of Absolute Joker<\/a>, seen <a href=\"https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/comics\/nick-dragotta-design-absolute-joker-batman-15\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">months in advance<\/a>, Scott Snyder has had a change of heart? He posts on social media, saying &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of twists and turns coming in Absolute Batman over the next 6 months, some big surprises (hence redacted covers and so on)\u2026 I know I get excited about stuff and spoil things here now and then (a lot?) so I&#8217;m going to be really careful about it in the coming weeks:) Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m still going to post teases but nothing that gives away anything substantive as this next year of Absolute Batman ramps everything up.&#8221; And replying to questions about if we&#8217;ll learn more about the background to the Absolute Alfred Pennyworth, he replied &#8220;Yes! See, this is where I would normally spoil and tell you where and when, but all I will tell you is that yes, there are big Alfred moments planned in the next six months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the big spoiler redacted cover for Absolute Batman #18 out in March\u2026 with a presumed look at what Poison Ivy will be in the Absolute Universe with this cover featuring Batman and Barbara Gordon, from Nick Dragotta.
