Bruce and Diana are quite an impressive duo, though Absolute Batman does get kicked off the bridge into the abyss below.

That means the horse specifically chose Absolute Batman, finding him a worthy warrior on par with Wonder Woman herself. In a realm suspended between the surface world and Hell itself, Pegasus sure beats a Batmobile (and he even came in black).<\/p>\n<p>Absolute Batman #16 is on sale now from DC Comics.<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"280\" height=\"420\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Batman Stands in Detective Comic Art by Jason Fabok\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769670669_240_batman-stands-in-detective-comic-art-by-jason-fabok.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769670669_240_batman-stands-in-detective-comic-art-by-jason-fabok.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tAlias \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBruce Wayne<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tFIRST APP \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDetective Comics #27 (1939)<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tCreated By \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBob Kane, Bill Finger<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tFranchise \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tD.C.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tRace \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHuman<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tFirst Appearance \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDetective Comics<\/p>\n<p class=\"display-card-description default\">One of DC&#8217;s most iconic heroes, Batman is the vigilante superhero persona of billionaire Bruce Wayne.
