The new ABSOLUTE Batman to life in their Absolute Universe redesigns, all rendered in the iconic art style of DC’s Animated Universe. If you haven’t yet read the Trinity’s individual Absolute titles, this artwork will surely convince you to dive in.
...this raises the question of whether this talented artist will continue to bless fans with more DCAU-inspired Absolute art as additional Justice League make their debut in the Absolute Universe...
Artist Marcelo Millicay–known for his work on Lost Dominion and Legacies of the DCAU–took to X and Instagram to celebrate the official release of Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval’s Absolute Superman #1 with his own stunning rendition of the Justice League’s Trinity, showcasing their newly debuted Absolute Universe redesigns.
What makes this artwork stand out is not just the inclusion of Absolute Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman, but the reimagining of them in the beloved, iconic style of DC’s Animated Universe. While not official DC art, the piece is sure to leave fans wishing it was.
Batman, Superman, & Wonder Woman Debut as the “Absolute Justice League” in DCAU-Inspired Fanart
Art by @Millicay.Art on Instagram and @Millicay95 on X
Millicay’s artwork showcases Wonder Woman front and center, flanked by Superman and Batman, with all three sporting their distinctive Absolute Universe redesigns that set them apart from their Earth-Prime counterparts. Superman features longer, wilder hair, paired with an updated suit that includes lava-infused details accentuating his hips and wrists. His new “S” Shield is bolder and thicker, with sharp points that stand in stark contrast to the Earth-Prime logo. Wonder Woman, meanwhile, shows off her Absolute redesign, wearing red, black, and silver armor, an oxblood-red tattoo arm sleeve, and wielding a massive longsword.
In addition, Millicay’s depiction of Batman is just as striking, with the Dark Knight towering over both Wonder Woman and Superman, a signature element of his Absolute Universe design. His longer bat ears, studded shoulder pauldrons, and oversized, brick-like bat logo on his chest further distinguish this version of Batman. What makes the piece even more remarkable is Millicay’s reimagining of these Absolute redesigns in the DCAU art style, which is known for its minimalist, streamlined design, bold colors, and strong contrasts that are influenced by Art Deco and film noir.
Absolute Wonder Woman Just Brought Back My Favorite Part of Her Lore (That Was Replaced by Her Invisible Jet)
The debut of Absolute Wonder Woman has radically reimagined Diana, and despite weaving an epic new origin, it also brings back an old piece of lore.
Will More Heroes Millicay’s DCAU-Inspired Absolute Justice League?
Martian Manhunter, Flash, and Green Lantern Could Be the Next to
Fans are undoubtedly appreciative of Millicay’s incredible contribution to the fandom with his stunning piece of fanart for the Absolute Universe, including a commissioned Absolute Superman piece. However, this raises the question of whether this talented artist will continue to bless fans with more DCAU-inspired Absolute art as additional characters and Justice League make their debut in the Absolute Universe. For instance, DC has already confirmed that Martian Manhunter, Flash, and Green Lantern will each receive their own Absolute titles, making it all the more exciting to imagine these characters ing Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman in Millicay’s epic Absolute Justice League.
