• Daredevil’s business card in Spider-Man: Brand New Day has the wrong area code in his phone number
• Wonder Man Yahya Abdul-Mateen II opens up about Disney cancelling the show - and how Marvel can "change the narrative"
• Rob Liefeld has some extremely specific thoughts about Deadpool's anatomy: "He is well-endowed."

At this point, readers of DC's megahit Absolute Batman know to expect the unexpected. Just take the character of Martha Wayne, for example, who was not only revealed to be alive at the end of issue #1, but later an actual member of the Court of Owls. Even still, it may be that the biggest surprise is still coming. According to Scott Snyder, at least.

Snyder said as much while speaking to YouTuber Jack Boz during an appearance at FAN EXPO Chicago. Asked to give a tease for what's coming down the line in terms of Absolute Batman's story, Snyder was cagey about details but did drop a specific issue number that fans should look out for.

"I don't want to give too many spoilers," said The Wytches writer, "I'll just say that I promise like something happens in 25 that will spin the book in a direction that I don't think anyone will guess."

Let's be honest here, reader - there's extremely little, if anything, to go off of in terms of what that tease might mean. Scott Snyder is one of the minds behind DC's first Absolute crossovers, so one wonders if perhaps this big twist will have something to do with building toward Batman & the other Absolute heroes teaming up, but that's truly just speculation on our part. And if I'm being honest, it's a bit of a stretch. 

I suppose only time will tell.

Absolute Batman #25 by Scott Snyder & Nick Dragotta comes to comic shops everywhere October 28.
