\nAbsolute Batman<\/em>, DC\u2019s comic book sensation, is heading to the screen.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe comic is being adapted as an animated series and will have the comic\u2019s creators, writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Dragotta, involved with its development.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series is one of three animated projects that show a growing DC-oriented animated slate and was part of a joint DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation presentation at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe showcase featured\u00a0DC Studios co-chairman and co-CEO Peter Safran and Warners Animation president Sam Register alongside Warner Animation artists who shared first looks and creative insights into the next wave of DC animation.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso making news was DC\u2019s first anime series, Joker: Laugh Riot<\/em>, being greenlit and a new series centered on superdog Krypto going into development.<\/p>\n

\nAbsolute Batman<\/em>, the comic, reimagined the Caped Crusader from the ground up when it ushered in the Absolute line of comics in late 2024. Bruce Wayne only lost one parent, not two. He was a blue collar worker from the projects, not a moneyed kid from one of Gotham City\u2019s wealthiest families. And he was jacked, a hulking man who was not afraid to drop kick a kid who was part of a gang of evil doers.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series has sold more than six million copies while Absolute Batman <\/em>has gone No. 1 through 11 printings. The comic, and the line, have helped DC overtake Marvel in marketshare for the first time this century and made superstars out of Dragotta and other artists. And this week, it was revealed it\u2019s getting the Funko treatment.<\/p>\n

\n\tSnyder will serve as executive producer and showrunner, with Dragotta as producer.<\/p>\n

\nJoker<\/em> is being executive produced by longtime DC animation vet Jim Krieg, who worked on the recent adaptations of DC classics Watchmen <\/em>and Crisis on Infinite Earths<\/em>. Yasuhuro Aoki is directing while SOLA Entertainment of Japan is working with Warner Animation and DC Studios. The project has yet been set with a network.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn what sounds like a compelling hook, the story sees the Clown Prince of Crime becoming a variation of his archnemesis, a detective solving a killing. The logline revealed at Annecy states, \u201cWhen Batman is murdered, the Joker launches a ruthless crusade through Gotham\u2019s underworld to find the killer who took away his greatest adversary. But as his violent quest for answers pushes him closer towards vigilante than villain, Joker is forced to confront the truth that without Batman, he doesn\u2019t know who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFinally, Warners and DC Studios have set C.H. Greenblatt (SpongeBob SquarePants<\/em>), another animation vet, to exec produce an untitled Krypto series. The canine has been in the spotlight as he has appeared in last year\u2019s Superman<\/em> and plays a key role in Supergirl<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe logline states, \u201cWhen he\u2019s not hanging out with Superman or Supergirl, Krypto tags along with a gang of misfit criminal wannabes who live down the block, and they soon discover he\u2019s a ball of destructive, lovable energy worse than any of them! As he follows them into misadventures and poorly laid plans, Krypto\u2019s pure nature slowly ends up redeeming them, whether they want it or not.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tWarner Animation and DC have several projects on deck, among them season two of Batman: Caped Crusader <\/em>and the upcoming Batman: Knightfall.<\/em><\/p>\n
