Absolute Superman is a superhero comic book series published by DC Comics, based on the Absolute Universe character Superman. The series is written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Rafa Sandoval, and began publication on November 6, 2024, as part of DC's Absolute Universe (AU) imprint. The series is Aaron's second work on the character Superman, after the three-issue story arc "I, Bizarro", published in Action Comics #1061–1063.

In this universe, Kal-El's ship crashes on Earth, but lands near an industrial city, controlled by mega-corporations, private armies, and corrupt politicians, and thus is not raised with love and hope by the Kents, marking a different pathway to becoming a hero.
