DC Comics has revealed a new look at Absolute Joker, and he’s monstrous. Revealed in the DC Comics solicitations for December, Scott Snyder and Jock are teaming up on the issue to bring us the Absolute Joker in Absolute Batman #15. The issue will reveal the Joker via Alfred, per the solicitation.
That’s not all, the cover by Nick Dragotta reveals his monstrous form:
If this isn’t confirmation that Snyder and Dragotta have been creating a full-on horror Batman universe, I don’t know what is. Just look at Mr. Freeze and Killer Croc below to see what I mean!

So far, we know very little about Joker, although he did pop up in the Bane backstory issue of Absolute Batman #11. In that issue, it was revelaed things are “moving” inside the bellies of the women around Joker:

We also saw Joker in Absolute Batman #6, which revealed he had…things coming out of him. Check that out below.

When you pair the visual above with the Absolute Batman #15 cover, one might assume Joker could change into that dragon form.
Considering his first appearance in Absolute Batman #1, one can assume his look has evolved over time between the creators.

So what is Joker’s final look? Only time will tell, and December can’t come soon enough!
