At San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, Daniel Warren Johnson was among several creators participating in DC’s Gotham Panel.

During their discussion about Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1, which is slated for release in October, Johnson revealed that his story draws inspiration from current events. He expressed that this has given him an outlet to channel his frustration constructively, sharing with the audience that Batman will be battling white nationalists in his upcoming issue.
