I’m not a die hard Batman fan but Absolute Batman is my favorite Batman. Not just because of his design but the plot and backstory of this Batman is like a breath of fresh air. LOVE IT!!!
Thomas Wayne is not a doctor in this universe but Bruce’s teacher. That’s cool take on Thomas Wayne in this universe showing that he is not just Bruce’s dad but a mentor to him too which is interesting.
I know DC fans are jaded AF because of all the resets the last 10 plus years but this looks awesome. They're taking everything about Bruce's character and literally inverting it while still keeping who he is at it's core with some fresh elements while keeping him separated from the earth prime Batman but in the same vein of acknowledging that he adjacently exists across from earth prime continuity.
I love how this Joker is a cold and calculating Billionaire. A Lex Luthor type who will presumably want to destroy Batman because he’s a threat to his vision for humanity. That’s a great way to switch up the dynamics, and i wonder if other Batman characters will be upper class like the joker. presumably it will be characters who are working class in the normal continuity like Jason Todd and Tim drake
I grew up in a lower class family and I was also diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome so to see a Batman that’s just a hard blue collared worker means a lot to me it really warms my Heart that you guys covered my favorite superhero batman
I love this version of Batman, the set up, the shuffling of characters and relationships, but keeping the core aspects of the batman, i’m gonna buy my physical copies and make art of him.
More of this please. This is great and way different than what I expected and I like this. I want this animated immediately into a tv show, movies, everything.
When I first heard this version of Batman wasn't a billionaire and working as a city engineer. I thought he was going to be something like Future-State Batman were Bruce loses all his money and uses a "home made" makeshift suit to go on patrol. But this also works too, as this Bruce is smart enough to grab or salvage resources.
This was brilliant and entertaining. A grounded down to earth relatable batman who learned and grew to be who he is without trillions of dollars. So cool.
This has got to be the coolest version of batman I've seen in years! Absolutely love everything about this alternate universe, this Alfred is giving massive Sam fisher vibes!
It seems like the writers of this Absolute Batman drew clear inspiration from Spawn. The amorphous cape, the battle ax, the hulking body and the ultra-violence...even the panel where Bats puts on his cowl with his cape flowing long in front of him in silhouette is reminiscent of classic Spawn.
Alfred looks kinda like Ra’s al Ghul and the Party Animal almost seem like a Black Mask version of The Court of Owls? It’s quite interesting to see such shuffling of the Gotham’s deck of playing cards…
Love this take on bat man. The first time I saw the images ngl I was sceptical but man was I wrong. The whole Alfred story looks good too. now just hope the wonder woman and superman story is as good as this.
Wow!!! This issue is so cool. Loving the new look of the Bats. Realistically if that makes sense minus the cape. But I might have to buy these and put them in some plastic as it seems like the whole entry may be a classic. This whole Absolute series. 🔥 🔥
@RayzlerAnimations the fact he's just a normal guy going gangster's gang's and so on.and also the fact that that he lost he's father to crime and all the different gadgets he has and the fact the Gotham City is basically new york
I still think he's too big. Someone 6'6 tall and 250lbs of solid muscle would be easily identifiable. Its rare enough just being that tall, add being built like a tank and he's one of a VERY small number of people.
@@blooddrawer Not really, his height alone is 0.1% of the population. He's bigger than most bodybuilders, which is probably less than 1% of the population for those at that size. Add them together and its an even smaller group. Even if you allow for the fictional element and say there are 100 others his height and build in Gotham who fit the bill (Which is highly unlikely, even in a comic book setting). Its a MUCH smaller pool to focus your investigation on. Plus from the reaction of the guy on the punch bag before this Bruce, I'd say someone his size isn't normal.
@@RainMakeR_Workshop true but it's still not a cut and dry case as there are people who have a similar body to bruce so you got to eliminate the suspects before realizing that bruce is batman
@@blooddrawer Even if so, it would be a VERY small list. Realistically, he'd be the one and only in all of Gotham that size. But as I said, allowing for comic book logic in a fictional work, even if there is 100 that fit the bill. That is a manageable number to investigate. If they make people his size common, then his size becomes meaningless. And again from the reaction of the guy on the punch bag before this take on Bruce, I'm gonna say its not common.
Bought two copies, one variant I'm keeping sealed. It was good. Maybe I'm biased considering my love for most things, Batman. But it's an interesting take, and I'm down for it. The ending was a good hook for more.
Not gonna lie I'm a bit scared for martha especially when joker inevitably makes his way to gotham. God i can't wait!!! 😅 also definitely curious to see bruce and alfreds new dynamic fleshed out more.
East Of West is one of my favorite books. (Hickman and Dragotta) So seeing Nick take a crack at the art with Snyder on the writing for this new Batman is super legit. ❤
How's this version of Bruce Wayne is able to get everything he needs to become Batman to fight against the corruption in Gotham? Where do you think he would have set up his own version of the Batcave?
Dude's an engineer. He's had working experience with the utility companies that provide power, water and sanitation services as well as construction crews. He has a very practical approach and knows his way around the city.
Alfred was in the Military before he became a butler. So its good to see how he would have ended up if he wasn't working for Bruce Wayne. Its nice to see that Batman still have a parent and have his genius level intelect despite having no Money to the Wayne name.
I wasn't aware of this comic but it certainly has my attention now. Very different and very very fresh take on Batman. I look forward to seeing where this goes.

FACTS
Bruce Wayne is 6'6 and 250lbs of muscle and people still wonder who Batman is.........
Bruce Wayne is a nobody in this universe
😅😅😅😅😅 who else it is
More like 350lbs of muscle.
“it could be anyone” 😂😂
Considering he fought a mob that have a similar phisyque to Bruce body i think Gotham have a lot of absolute body builder
Alfred gives death stroke vibez
He gives more Solid Snake vibes, looks wise. Imo ofc
Exactly I think he may be this universe deathstroke
I was thinking the same thing. Brought back memories of Priest's Deathstroke run😌.
Exactly what i thought when i read it 🤣
Kinda looks like Ra’s
Remember the meme that said
"Batman doesn't use guns. But he isn't above using a battleaxe"
Well now he has one
Thomas Wayne is not a doctor in this universe but Bruce’s teacher. That’s cool take on Thomas Wayne in this universe showing that he is not just Bruce’s dad but a mentor to him too which is interesting.
Why bro built like a space marine?
He Got that Superior Wayne Genes
EVERYTHING HE DOES IS FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPEROR
Because he is the batman!

A Batman with gadgets incorporated into his suit is the most Batman thing since the Silver Age Batman having a batatang in his emblem.
This is it! This is the type of batman I've been waiting for! The backstory, Martha alive, connection with his rogues, the skills
Now I’m super excited to see Absolute Superman as well
He's built like this at the same age as me? I'm cooked
😂😂😂
I remember hearing rumors Alan Ritchson was gonna play Bruce. i could totally see him being this bruce

Scott Synder always bringing new awesome Batman cannon.
11:45 shout out to the writers for adding that No Man's Land/Cataclysm easter egg, one of my favorite Batman storylines ever
8:18 that hanging like a bad was something else
Alot of people only doesnt like the symbol (like me) until know it looks like that because it becomes his axe. Thats insane level of design
I am so hyped to dive into this new Batman. Admittedly had my reservations but man have i been converted.
Just read it 12 hour ago. In 1st issue, the story and drawing was great. Hope they can constantly keep the good job for the next issues.
Never clicked on anything so fast😂 love variant let's go❤

First comic review since comicstorian passed and I just wanted to say you do an amazing job!!
High key, I enjoy this origin story more than the OG origin of Batman

What do you think characters like Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, Signal, Batwing and Azrael are like in this universe?
Like toddlers?

Well the party animals are the false face society. And the false face society is Black Mask's group
Absolute batman looks and sounds amazing a very refreshing spin on the dark knight would love this to be adapted as an animated series
This Batman actually looks really cool. Also the art work look so epic

His "batcave" is an abandon tower at least thats where he was at the end of the issue
He study a lot of infrastructure in Gotham to find secret base all around the city
