Absolute Batman #5 (2025) Ian Bertram Card Stock Variant Cover – A Collector’s MasterpieceDive into DC’s revolutionary Absolute Universe with Absolute Batman #5 (2025) Ian Bertram Card Stock Variant Cover, available exclusively at VegasComics.com. Written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin, this penultimate chapter of “The Zoo” arc reimagines Bruce Wayne as a 24-year-old blue-collar vigilante. Ian Bertram’s surreal, intricate variant cover, hailed on Reddit for its unique style, makes this a must-have for collectors and investors.Key Appearances
Absolute Batman #5 escalates Bruce’s fight against the Party Animals, introducing Julia Pennyworth and a young Victor Fries (Mr. Freeze) while revealing Ark M’s origins, as noted on DC’s official site. It sets up Absolute Bane’s debut in #6, driving narrative momentum. Part of the 2024 Eisner-nominated “Best New Series” with a 9.8/10 Reddit rating, its sellout streak and 400,000-copy sales for #1 by late 2024 underscore its demand. Bertram’s 1:25 incentive cover, praised on X for its detailed linework, boosts its collectible allure.
Current Value
Released February 12, 2025, the Absolute Batman #5 Ian Bertram Card Stock Variant is valued at $15–$22 in NM- to NM/M (9.2–9.8) condition on eBay, with CGC 9.8 copies fetching $40–$60, as seen in listings from Rated Comics with acrylic backers. Bertram’s reputation, built on Little Bird and House of Penance, and the variant’s rarity drive premiums, with demand rivaling Absolute Batman #1’s Bertram cover ($50–$75 CGC 9.8).
Expected Value and Trends
This issue’s value is poised for growth, fueled by the Absolute Universe’s surging popularity and DC’s 2025 initiatives. Bertram’s variants, lauded on CBR for their organic sharpness, are appreciating, with trends suggesting a 20–30% increase within 12–18 months, potentially reaching $30–$50 for CGC-graded copies. Events like Fan Expo Cleveland 2025 and DC’s “Summer of Superman” campaign may amplify visibility, boosting related titles. The release of Absolute Green Lantern (March 2025) and the Absolute Batman #1-7 hardcover collection will further enhance its long-term potential.
