I just caught up on absolute Batman and I’m not sure where to go next

I’ve just completed absolute Batman up to issue 23 and I would love to keep reading the absolute universe. I’ve heard great things about absolute Martian manhunter and Wonder Woman but as someone who isn’t really a big dc fan (aside from Batman and the robins), where would you guys recommend I go next?

This Mf is just cancer for the universe (spoilers for absolute flash 18 and Superman 22)

I want to see him get beaten down by all of the legion of doom

Is this going to be our next absolute crossover?

The description of Absolute Catwoman 4 says "CENTRAL CITY OVERRUN WITH HORRORS! Selina Kyle and the Calicos join forces for one last heist to find the Yarn before Cassandra Cain and the League of Shadows do. With their futures hanging in the balance, it'll require more than just top-of-the-line gear to get their hands on the world's most powerful supercomputer."

Given that in the most recent issue of Absolute Flash we actually see Central City overrun with horrors do you think Catwoman and Flash will interact or could it be more of a 'they witness the same event but never actually interact'

(Absolute batman 21-22) so he was created?

So grimm created him just to have somone to mess with? Fabricating even his origin just to make him what he wanted how deep is this really lol

(Edit) I have a theory on if Jack has something to do with the court of owls as well, maybe he planted martha as well, and she wasnt shot, but i think itd be an interesting manipulation on Bruce's entire story

Mister Bones, Director of the DEO

A character who many saw coming given how many connections his mainline version has to stuff that already was in the Absolute Universe.
Mister Bones debuted as a villain of Infinity Inc. (they were like the Teen Titans for Golden Age legacy character), during the series, he would reform and join the team and stay until they disbanded at the end of their series.
Now, what is Bones? He was experimented on his mother's womb, giving him the powers of invisible skin and a toxic sweat that kills everything he touches, also called his "Cyanide Touch". So no, Bones isn't a skeleton, he is a black man (yes, he has been confirmed to be black on more than one ocasion) with invisible skin. He also used to rhyme.
His most notable feat was being forced to touch Skyman (Star-Spangled Kid) by Grundy, which would lead to Stargirl being created.
Then he would become Director Bones and lead the DEO. Showing up whenever the plot involved the goverment had to deal with metahuman issues, most of the time sending Chase Cameron to deal with it because the X Files were popular at the time. But just as characters like Waller and Maxwell Lord became less morally dubious and just outright evil, so did Bones.
During Batwoman, he had convinced himself that Jacob Kane, Batwoman's dad, was also his father. So he made a convoluted scheme involving Batman, Batwoman and Alice to get his revenge.
After that he went back to his usual stick, until Infinite Frontier where he got the idea to sacrifice the Justice Society to Darkseid so he would leave the prime universe alone, during the time Darkseid was starting to amass power to create the Absolute Universe

I’m debating dropping the absolute universe in single issues and just picking up trades instead

With the absolute universe being such a big success and clearly having no end in sight I am slightly concerned about the impact this will have on my pull list for likely years to come. I’m currently spending about £30 a month on just issues of absolute comics so it would save me quite a bit. What do you guys think? (I’m aware this is very much a me decision but I’m interested if anyone else has done this)

Considering selling my single issues to help buy the trades that are already out (I got into it a little bit later so a lot of my issue #1, 2, 3 etc. are the third and fourth printing so not worth a ton)

Which absolute first issue had the best last panel? (spoilers for issue one of all of them)

Already did this for the frist panel, so I think it is only fitting for last.
This is last panel of every frist issue
This is the issue in order

Absolute batmen
Absolute Superman
Absolute wonder women
Absolute flash
Absolute green lantern (had trouble getting full page)
Absolute evil (also couldn’t get full page)
Absolute Martian manhunter ( this one is hard. Do you count the Martian vision? So you count the Martian face on last page or the “to be countiouned Martian)
Absolute ark m.
Absolute green arrow
Absolute cat women

Whitch last panel is the best. Which one worst. Give me ranking.

Stephen Segovia, Absolute Batman #24

I really like how this cover is ***The Bat*** version of 22! They'll look super sick on the wall next to each other!
