Absolute Batman (2024)The Straw Man - Part 4: The Crooked House
Absolute Harley Quinn's origin ties to Ark M, which turned Gotham's vulnerable into weapons. As the Robins tighten their grip and Batman is outmatched, a player with an Ark M past enters the fight.
From The Publisher
As the Robins nest in Gotham’s backyard, and Batman faces ultimate defeat, Harley Quinn’s origin is revealed. How does Harley connect with Ark M, and how did the Robins fledge from hatchlings to birds of prey? The call of more than one predator will be answered in this issue.
