Announced at the DC Absolute Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con today was a new Absolute Batman Beyond Ark-M Special from Scott Snyder and Frank Tieri with Francesco Francavilla, to follow the previous Ark-M Special that told a very early story of young Jack Grimm, the Absolute Joker and how the Ark institutions came to be. The new book will have a lot of new characters, but also some classic DC ones, such as the Absolute Professor Pyg. And the Absolute Batman Beyond Ark-M Special will tell his story this time… and how his works in the other Arks feed into Ark-M. As each one has their own theme of experimentation and torture.

Previously, Bleeding Cool reported Scott Snyder and Frank Tieri planned on creating a sequel; this is it… as Scott previously said, “So I’m sure we could do an Absolute Joker thing at some point, but we’re talking to them, and we really want to do a sequel to Ark-M. The Joker has Ark-M,the whole idea is that this is the last one he built. It’s a final one, but he’s had them. He has A B C D all over the world because he thinks it’s funny to end on Arkham and call it Ark-M because he killed Arkham, right?””
