As seen in the DC Comics February 2026 solicits and solicitations, Absolute Poison Ivy is looking a little different than the DC Prime version in Absolute Batman #17.<\/p>\n

\"Absolute<\/a>Absolute Batman #17<\/p>\n

Scott Snyder has said, “ABSOLUTE BATMAN 17 & 18, February and March, is a special 2-part story by me & the amazing @EricCanete that has Bruce face off against our version of Poison Ivy! But expect a couple surprises in 17 big enough DC is redacting the covers for 18\u2026” All redacted aside from this sneak peek of course\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Our<\/a>Absolute Batman #17<\/p>\n

Has Absolute Batman got a chainsaw and venom pipes to go up against Absolute Poison Ivy? The Absolute Batman #14 preview for next week also dropped, including this twenty-panel page, which some folk thought was pieced together from previous issues.<\/p>\n

\"Our<\/a>Absolute Batman #14<\/p>\n

Scott Snyder replied, “It is not”, posting the original inked artwork by Nick Dragotta.<\/p>\n

\"Our<\/a>Absolute Batman #14<\/p>\n

And Scott talked about how that page came about, “Before we get started, Nick and I talk the issue through together either in person or on Zoom and I’ll say something like, for the first page Alfred is telling Bruce that They’re gonna test out the venom, but Bruce is thinking about everything that happened so far.\u00a0 And I’ll say to Nick, we can just show Bruce not paying attention as Alfred is readying the equipment with Eddie, we can show moments Bruce is remembering, we can just go close on Bruce’s face the whole time \u2014 whatever you think best conveys Bruce’s confusion about what to do. Here, Nick decided he wanted to show multiple moments, because Bruce’s mind is racing, and none of these moments are cut and paste from before, Nick actually drew each one fresh. Clarifying this for 2 reasons btw 1 \u2013 I want everyone to know how much passion and work Nick puts into every panel of this book because he’s doing something beyond special \u2013 transformative. And 2, I don’t want any artist out there to think I ask anyone to draw 20 panels ha ha.” Here’s the rest of the preview\u2026<\/p>\n
