DC Comics' bold new "Absolute" universe is making its interactive debut. The freshly launched iterations of Batman and Catwoman will soon be playable within a major video game title, marking a significant multimedia expansion for the publisher's recent comic reboot.

Their inclusion in a high-profile game acts as a powerful endorsement of the new direction's appeal.
Further solidifying the franchise's reach, the Absolute Batman design will also be immortalized in Lego form. This dual announcement in gaming and physical toys demonstrates a coordinated strategy to build the "Absolute" DC Universe into a fully-fledged pillar of the brand. Fans can expect to step into the boots of this distinct Dark Knight and see his new aesthetic built brick-by-brick, as the comic phenomenon swiftly transcends the printed page.
