@@maddhatterrabbitsleepykitsuneI can understand what you're saying, but at the same time, this is the mutiverse with infinite possibilities. We have a black superman and that was way before this woke stuff was being used by these grifters.
I find it hilarious that people think Batman isn’t supposed to be emo or goth. The dude literally dresses like a vampire bat and spends every night going out to terrify and punch criminals, lives in a city literally called GOTHAM, and stalks people while hanging upside down on gargoyle’s. How much more goth emo can you get. Batman has always been the premier emo superhero. But now all of a sudden wearing eye shadow and having long messy hair is too far out of character for Bruce.
I remember when the term "woke" actually meant something until a certain group of mouth breathers discovered it and applied it to everything that confused or offended them.
Exactly. They don't grasp the word "woke" or how it goes back to the 1830's. Basically they hate human rights especially black, brown rights, women rights, lgbtqia rights.

While I'm all for the making of original characters, I'm still perfectly fine with race swapping! Cause they ain't real. They ain't historical, real people, they're fictional. While in some cases, race does play into a character, like Black Panther. For the most part, it doesn't. Gordon and Barbara were not written to have "I'm white" be their entire character. They were made to be hard boil detectives who are some of the closest people to batman, they were the good cops, they were the ones who fought for justice. They're good people and that was their character. And idk about you. But being a good person is not effected by ones skin, but by ones actions, motivations and character.

Woke like many words used by idiots has lost all meaning. It’s just a placeholder for words they don’t know how to use to explain what they don’t like.
@@bazzfromthebackground3696That's why I say it's not a question of the character being "woke" or not, but just that for these people anything THEY don't like and that THEY don't agree with is "woke". LGBT people being treated like human beings and just existing? Woke! People of color being important in a story? Woke! Women being important or being strong and independent? Woke! It doesn't matter if the story is good or not, they will still say it's bad because it's "woke"! Arcane has everything I mentioned, and the show is beyond amazing! And just look around! A lot of people will ignore good things in shows, movies and comics just because there are things they consider "woke"! I could mention several examples if you want but I would be here all day. Just know that woke does not equal bad. But it's quality, intention, good writing and implementation that matters. Some characters being "woke" doesn't mean the rest of the story will be bad. Also, representation is important for many people to feel seen and represented in media. Imagine an autistic person watching their favorite show, and then they feel like a character who demonstrates traits and similarities with them and is confirmed to be autistic, this will mean a lot to that person. But don't get me wrong, representation also needs to be well-placed. I am an autistic woman but I don't like the autistic character in the good doctor. He is a negative stereotype that does not represent us correctly. Sia's film Music is an offensive and dangerous abomination that treats autistic people in an inhumane and stereotypical way, not a single autistic person I've ever seen acts like that! Representation is important but it also needs to be done correctly. Preferably people between the groups being represented, making the representation feel more authentic and genuine. Sorry for talking too much, I just hate anti-woke crowd and their dangerous and hateful mentality.
Saw that kid’s videos and it’s so sad that he’s spending his time being a bigot when he could be reviewing the things he loves. I wish we could have our word back smh.
The unfortunate part is that a big appeal of bigotry is that it sells the narrative that you are automatically better than someone by virtue of who and what you are. It gives you a sense of superiority without the need to actually work for it.
It's odd that it's always the red head they race swap. I don't really care either way but it's weird. Jimmy Olsen, Barbara Gordon, Wally West, Mary Jane Watson, Alice Monaghan from Hellboy. It's just weird. Thought of some more, Jim Gordon, Heimdal, Electro, Starfire, Iris West. Again it's just kinda weird.
While the swap does not serve a helpful purpose as inclusion that can revert back to Euro (white) messes up the effort, non-Euro bloodline versions of Euro Redheads should never avoid still being Redheaded. That is disrespectful to the representation of Redheads of non-Euro-ancestry.
Kid has no right for transvestigation, he literally looks like younger version of my trans friend. Dude can have they/them in bio and I wouldn't question it 😵💫 Like, out of all arguments dude choose the one which is not only dumb as Absolute Batman is peak 90s masculinity, but also because one which comedically applies to him.
@@Unless-feature give something valid. Batman being big isn't a valid thing to dislike. Original batman was 6'2 and almost 230 pounds, which is big too.
Honestly Wonder Woman was my least favorite since I was hoping they would have made her more of an upfront magic user. Since WW was always a bruiser often times being the best fighter out of the three. The setup of making one of his greatest villains her mother that was good. If anybody wanna get on the "this is woke" train is that's book yet that's on purpose...
@@therealone_20 I do find some close up panels of baby faced huge Bruce Wayne weird, his face look so young I had to check back if it was supposed to be adult Batman or if it was supposed to be flash-back especially in issue 2. That's not huge criticism but it's legitimate, his physique is a take it definitely makes him stand out from classic Bruce but the art struggle to make me actually believe in this guy.
I just love that for him Bruce looks "like a trans" being an absolute brick wall of muscles, the epitome of a masculine man. Dude doesn't even know what he's saying, he's just throwing blind hate at this point
Woke is the new “mid” for those who’s talking points devolve to identity politics they throw that word around and expect applause and they get it, cause it’s easier to laugh and clap with the crowd than to think critically about the media you consume no nuance whatsoever where those guys are concerned
I want to give this kid the benefit of a doubt since he's 15. When I was that age I almost went down the anti-woke pipeline, and I'm glad it didn't keep. The optimist in me wants to believe this is just a phase he'll grow out of, but I realize some people need a harsh reality check for that to happen. Keep up the good work. I loved the first two issues of AB (#2 had some minor notes) and I'd like to see more reviews from you.
I was just about to do a timestamp on this because I don’t get what he means first off. This makes Batman look even more scarier and I feel as though that’s the implication of Batman is that he’s fucking terrifying.????? I love this one. I love the story behind this, but I love that when he called him transgender and then it cuts to his haircut and it’s the same haircut but red. What is he telling us
Bro, isn’t there a legit black Superman Who is the president of the United States pretty sure he was shown in the Wally west comics race swapping characters isn’t new.
Also honorable mention to icon who is not a kryptonian or part of the "super family" but was invented by dwayne mcduffie as part of the dakotaverse AKA the same comics static shock came from that is part of the dc universe
So I have read issues one and two of absolute Batman. Only idea in it that I would call woke is frankly the idea that Bruce Wayne is not wealthy but the joker is wealthy. And to be fair, that might have been a fair idea, but the idea that rich people are evil has just been everywhere for the last few years. So even if that's not the intention, that's how it comes off. Other than that, I've got to say probably Scott Snyder needs to Google what a city engineer makes. At one point in issue one, I felt like he was trying to suggest that Bruce lives paycheck to paycheck in city engineers make pretty good money frankly. Also, he has to work on the timeline. It's a whole lot in a really short amount of time. The party animals are a fantastic homage to the mutant gang. I'm calling it an homage because I feel like a lot of riders who write Batman really want to be Frank Miller at times.
Bruce is clear stealing what nobody is gonna notice is gone, him turning a Dump Truck into the Batmobile is kinda pushing it. Yet he put himself in spaces where he can have access to things
This man is treating Black Barbara Gordon like she’s going to end his career 😂 Like you said, it’s an elseworld story. It’s not the end of the world I’m more confused as to why she’s a cop. I’ll have to read to find out
Generally i dont like race swapping when it comes to the main universe. But absolute batman isnt the makn verse so it doesnt really matter. This comic is badass
As soon as someone calls something “woke”, I already know everything I need to know about their views and character. I feel safe disregarding anything they say after. Criticism and critique is fine, “woke” is just name calling for the unintelligent.
Lol maybe I’m not nerdy enough but the Absolute Universe is the first line that’s brought me back into collecting in years. I work in construction operations and absolutely fw the idea of a superhero who knows his city because he participated in building it

I watched that video and wanted my watch time back. The minute he mentioned Barbara Gordon being black his whole opinion was just invalid. Also great video and absolute superman is great as well
The dude was like, "OMG, Barbara Gordon is black," and I'm just sitting here like, "And?" If that's what pisses you off the most you might wanna look in the mirror there buddy.
It's just dumb. I'm half black and I don't want your white sloppy second characters. Give us our own instead of race bending them so we can pretend like these comic companies actually give a shit about race.
These grifters are exhausting, they never say anything new, nuanced or original. Its the same complaint about inclusion and old good new bad, yap yap yap-- Nujabes in the bg is amazing btw 👌
It is really funny how some men demand that female characters act submissive and feminine like in the 60,s, yet they also want to see more of the sexualized, independent female characters like in the 90,s, like pick a lane guys (modesty was very important in the 60,s and all women in the comics were often fully covered up, which is the opposite of what some conservative men claim to desire)
Speaking of Arcane, after when the show raps up James gunn should hire the team to work on a project.....Like hypothetically an Absolute Batman show/movie
This video popped up in my feed and honestly? Thank you for reminding to check out these books. I’ve never been a consistent comics reader, but I like these being underdog stories for the big three. Wonder Woman’s design especially looks incredible. And I like stuff like Bruce’s new origin, Alfred’s name “Penny” being a code name. I’ll have to pick up these books soon. Great video!
I subscribed to you. I like your content! Absolute Batman is good; I am enjoying it! Although Batman is about 7 feet tall and easily 300 Lbs., he works as a construction engineer, and his Batmobile is a construction vehicle...You'd think someone would notice. Still enjoying it.
Yeah I remember watching that video. I thought it was a troll at first… nah he was legit. It’s so idiotic, he points out things in this universe are completely completely different from the main line continuity (which is the point if you can clearly tell) but apparently that’s woke, and two panels of Barbara Gordon of her being black is apparently bad and an unfaithful adaption? You can never take these people seriously.
Dude I LOVE Absolute Batman. The reimagination scratches my elseworlds itch while having genuinely new ideas that WORK FLAWLESSLY. I had more "OH SHIIIIIIT" moments reading #1 than I've had in any comic I've read in the last year. This is officially my favorite Batman. Also I feel like Batfleck is Batman if he only ever trained with a gun and half a brick. 😂 Oh that image 😂 He's just got a bunch of half bricks and guns on his utility belt 😂😂😂 Great video!! You have a new sub!

Idk Bruce is a big, straight, white guy, and *_EVEN THEN_* he made up reasons why he was "woke."
@bazzfromthebackground3696 fr lol
Exactly that. And that's not even what the word was originally meant to represent!
@@bazzfromthebackground3696That's why I say it's not a question of the character being "woke" or not, but just that for these people anything THEY don't like and that THEY don't agree with is "woke".
LGBT people being treated like human beings and just existing? Woke! People of color being important in a story? Woke! Women being important or being strong and independent? Woke! It doesn't matter if the story is good or not, they will still say it's bad because it's "woke"!
Arcane has everything I mentioned, and the show is beyond amazing! And just look around! A lot of people will ignore good things in shows, movies and comics just because there are things they consider "woke"!
I could mention several examples if you want but I would be here all day. Just know that woke does not equal bad. But it's quality, intention, good writing and implementation that matters. Some characters being "woke" doesn't mean the rest of the story will be bad.
Also, representation is important for many people to feel seen and represented in media. Imagine an autistic person watching their favorite show, and then they feel like a character who demonstrates traits and similarities with them and is confirmed to be autistic, this will mean a lot to that person.
But don't get me wrong, representation also needs to be well-placed. I am an autistic woman but I don't like the autistic character in the good doctor. He is a negative stereotype that does not represent us correctly. Sia's film Music is an offensive and dangerous abomination that treats autistic people in an inhumane and stereotypical way, not a single autistic person I've ever seen acts like that!
Representation is important but it also needs to be done correctly. Preferably people between the groups being represented, making the representation feel more authentic and genuine.
Sorry for talking too much, I just hate anti-woke crowd and their dangerous and hateful mentality.
@@laraprisma6381 I read that. Good essay.
Saw that kid’s videos and it’s so sad that he’s spending his time being a bigot when he could be reviewing the things he loves. I wish we could have our word back smh.
People like that only love bitching. They can only talk about the things that piss them off, which is everything. Miserable dipshits.
The unfortunate part is that a big appeal of bigotry is that it sells the narrative that you are automatically better than someone by virtue of who and what you are. It gives you a sense of superiority without the need to actually work for it.
I like how he calls edgy buff absolute Bruce Wayne "transgender" when he himself looks like a token gay character from a 90s movie.
Barbra Gordon being black was so insignificant that I literally forgot it happened
It's odd that it's always the red head they race swap. I don't really care either way but it's weird.
Jimmy Olsen, Barbara Gordon, Wally West, Mary Jane Watson, Alice Monaghan from Hellboy. It's just weird.
Thought of some more, Jim Gordon, Heimdal, Electro, Starfire, Iris West.
Again it's just kinda weird.
@ it is a really weird trend. Like black super heroes with electric powers.
If it's so insignificant, why change it?
@@mr.johnson7424there are way more redheads in comics/media than irl
@@ItsDigidyDanif it's so insignificant, why does it matter if it's changed?
Also I have bad news about “The Batman” film if he doesn’t want Barbra Gordon to be black………
It has happened in multiple continuities. You would think a "real" fan would be aware of these variants.
Dont tell them about how Barb looks like in Killing Joke either. They will combust
@@Psyker_Unredactus Multiple comic continuities? Afro bloodline Gordons has been going on before the 2010s?
While the swap does not serve a helpful purpose as inclusion that can revert back to Euro (white) messes up the effort, non-Euro bloodline versions of Euro Redheads should never avoid still being Redheaded. That is disrespectful to the representation of Redheads of non-Euro-ancestry.
Its okay buddy there are 20 batman comics @@VDOTU5
Kid has no right for transvestigation, he literally looks like younger version of my trans friend. Dude can have they/them in bio and I wouldn't question it 😵💫
Like, out of all arguments dude choose the one which is not only dumb as Absolute Batman is peak 90s masculinity, but also because one which comedically applies to him.
The Gordons have been made black so many times though, it's basically an official alternate character skin at this point.
This type of people would look at the original Conan the Cimmerian and call it woke because he wore skirts.
“The dreaded black! It’s back again!” I fucking died
Absolute Batman was my least favorite of the three new titles, but definitely not for the reasons that little weasel listed.
What were the reasons if I may ask ? I honestly think when I make my absolute review I have some complaints here and there
Like giving him bigger muscles when he can already punch through a thick wood wall just fine
@@Unless-feature give something valid. Batman being big isn't a valid thing to dislike. Original batman was 6'2 and almost 230 pounds, which is big too.
Honestly Wonder Woman was my least favorite since I was hoping they would have made her more of an upfront magic user. Since WW was always a bruiser often times being the best fighter out of the three. The setup of making one of his greatest villains her mother that was good. If anybody wanna get on the "this is woke" train is that's book yet that's on purpose...
@@therealone_20 I do find some close up panels of baby faced huge Bruce Wayne weird, his face look so young I had to check back if it was supposed to be adult Batman or if it was supposed to be flash-back especially in issue 2. That's not huge criticism but it's legitimate, his physique is a take it definitely makes him stand out from classic Bruce but the art struggle to make me actually believe in this guy.
I just love that for him Bruce looks "like a trans" being an absolute brick wall of muscles, the epitome of a masculine man. Dude doesn't even know what he's saying, he's just throwing blind hate at this point
Except the face being kinda pretty boy ish i guess but stil
@@CursedShinobiClownhes just a twunk, but hes cool
But if Barb was ginger he woulda be celebrating 😂
Not “blacks in my Batman” 😂😫
Miguel o hera vibes😂😂😂
Wait til bro finds out about Luke Fox and Duke Thomas LMAO
@@MrTheil Wait till he finds out that there are multiple BLACK SUPERMEN🤣🤣
That kid probably thinks that him complaining about things being "woke" will keep him from being bullied or something 🤷🏾♂️😒
Woke is the new “mid” for those who’s talking points devolve to identity politics they throw that word around and expect applause and they get it, cause it’s easier to laugh and clap with the crowd than to think critically about the media you consume no nuance whatsoever where those guys are concerned
I miss when comics were less mainstream and didn’t have a bunch of bigots attached to them comics have always been progressive for their time
Remember when X-Men 97 came out and all those grifters were calling it “woke?” Made it really easy to differentiate the real fans from the fake ones
It makes me feel genuinely embarrassed being a comic book fan and sharing the same fandom with ranting for vengeance
That dude looks like someone people would CALL woke
I feel trapped in a oroborus of hypocrisy
The hypocrisy of calling Batman/Bruce Wayne a "tranny" when they look like a zesty-ass femboy with the BreadTuber lighting.
What a bigoted asshole.
I want to give this kid the benefit of a doubt since he's 15. When I was that age I almost went down the anti-woke pipeline, and I'm glad it didn't keep. The optimist in me wants to believe this is just a phase he'll grow out of, but I realize some people need a harsh reality check for that to happen. Keep up the good work. I loved the first two issues of AB (#2 had some minor notes) and I'd like to see more reviews from you.
How much more masculine energy do these weirdos need!? Batman right now close to Bane levels of masculinity!!
If this is woke, then everything is.
3:07 he says that this Batman looks transgender like bro 😭😭😭 the projection is more blatant than absolute Batman’s logo 😭😭😭
I was just about to do a timestamp on this because I don’t get what he means first off. This makes Batman look even more scarier and I feel as though that’s the implication of Batman is that he’s fucking terrifying.?????
I love this one. I love the story behind this, but I love that when he called him transgender and then it cuts to his haircut and it’s the same haircut but red.
What is he telling us
it's always the biggest twinks complaining about men not being masculine enough, curious
How terminally online does one have to be to think a GIGANTIC yolked out batman who fights with a giant axe is "woke".
Its just ragebaite. Best if we ignore it
Bro, isn’t there a legit black Superman Who is the president of the United States pretty sure he was shown in the Wally west comics
race swapping characters isn’t new.
Its not even race swapping at that point, Calvin Ellis is an original character.
@ still a Superman variant soooo technically it is not that it matters though
And Val Zod is a Black Kryptonian…Krypton is basically a way more technologically advanced Earth that orbits a red son instead of a yellow one…
Also honorable mention to icon who is not a kryptonian or part of the "super family" but was invented by dwayne mcduffie as part of the dakotaverse AKA the same comics static shock came from that is part of the dc universe
race swapping characters is dumb though, if batman became black in a movie they should make him a totally new character like a batman beyond thing
So I have read issues one and two of absolute Batman. Only idea in it that I would call woke is frankly the idea that Bruce Wayne is not wealthy but the joker is wealthy. And to be fair, that might have been a fair idea, but the idea that rich people are evil has just been everywhere for the last few years. So even if that's not the intention, that's how it comes off. Other than that, I've got to say probably Scott Snyder needs to Google what a city engineer makes. At one point in issue one, I felt like he was trying to suggest that Bruce lives paycheck to paycheck in city engineers make pretty good money frankly. Also, he has to work on the timeline. It's a whole lot in a really short amount of time. The party animals are a fantastic homage to the mutant gang. I'm calling it an homage because I feel like a lot of riders who write Batman really want to be Frank Miller at times.
This is actual good criticism.
Bruce is clear stealing what nobody is gonna notice is gone, him turning a Dump Truck into the Batmobile is kinda pushing it. Yet he put himself in spaces where he can have access to things
The only non-evil rich person that comes to mind is Dolly Patron.
Oh, and Keanu Reeves.
Bro looks like the what the saying red headed step child means 0:16
This man is treating Black Barbara Gordon like she’s going to end his career 😂 Like you said, it’s an elseworld story. It’s not the end of the world
I’m more confused as to why she’s a cop. I’ll have to read to find out
Generally i dont like race swapping when it comes to the main universe. But absolute batman isnt the makn verse so it doesnt really matter. This comic is badass
As soon as someone calls something “woke”, I already know everything I need to know about their views and character. I feel safe disregarding anything they say after. Criticism and critique is fine, “woke” is just name calling for the unintelligent.
5:53 don’t let him watch Batman Caped Crusader he will probably die of a heart attack 😂
Were they expecting bats to beat up gays?
Bet he was hoping for a blonde hair, blue-eyed Batman
How is he insulting anyone for looking trans when he looks like a 16 year old girl with voice of a 35 year old man 😂😂😂😂😂 great video dude 👍🔥
Lol maybe I’m not nerdy enough but the Absolute Universe is the first line that’s brought me back into collecting in years. I work in construction operations and absolutely fw the idea of a superhero who knows his city because he participated in building it
Crazy how the fellas 15 years old
People this isnt me joking or being hyperbolic the young fella is infact 15 so idk dont kill the kid even though his take was mid
Edgelord Phase
@@benjaminboudreau2675yeah was like that myself when i was that age.
Think people shouldnt go to hard on him cause, like me at that age, he will go insane for a while and hopefully griw outta it
@@RyanTheMan000His brain isn't fully developed for the next ten years so hopefully just a bad phase
@@johnwerner69 The thing is that the brain never really stops developing. It just works best at 25.
I watched that video and wanted my watch time back. The minute he mentioned Barbara Gordon being black his whole opinion was just invalid. Also great video and absolute superman is great as well
Holy shit this kid is literally the stereotype of the Marvel fanboy right winger who doesn't leave his room LMAOO
IM DONE I CANT I CANT.... THIS IS MAKING ME WHEEZE. THIS MAN LOOKS TRANS AND IS CALLING THIS BRICK OF A MAN TRANS?
THE BLACKS!!
Ngl, the same guy that is crying over Bruce's appearance looks like the son/daughter of Chucky, who is trans
That's who he reminded me of!! Thank you!! I've been racking my brain for the last 2 hours going: "I've seen this MFer but where ..."
The dude was like, "OMG, Barbara Gordon is black," and I'm just sitting here like, "And?" If that's what pisses you off the most you might wanna look in the mirror there buddy.
It's just dumb. I'm half black and I don't want your white sloppy second characters. Give us our own instead of race bending them so we can pretend like these comic companies actually give a shit about race.
Background music is Nujabes. I already know this man is spittin' FAXS
These grifters are exhausting, they never say anything new, nuanced or original. Its the same complaint about inclusion and old good new bad, yap yap yap--
Nujabes in the bg is amazing btw 👌
5:58 im sobbing you’re hilarious 😭
It is really funny how some men demand that female characters act submissive and feminine like in the 60,s, yet they also want to see more of the sexualized, independent female characters like in the 90,s, like pick a lane guys (modesty was very important in the 60,s and all women in the comics were often fully covered up, which is the opposite of what some conservative men claim to desire)
It must suck for that kid being that miserable all time
Not the hero we deserve but the hero we need. Thanks for taking this on.
They can't be happy with anything.
Wasnt Barbara Gordon black in the Lego Batman movie aswell?
6:02 what's the song playing in the background?
I loved the comic.
I'll take that kid seriously when he takes a dentist seriously.
The irish dude is so sensitive. I wonder if he's read absolute wonder woman (which is amazing the best absolute story so far).
Bro is mad a comic character with long hair has more testosterone than him so it automatically makes it woke
Speaking of Arcane, after when the show raps up James gunn should hire the team to work on a project.....Like hypothetically an Absolute Batman show/movie
05:55 : "Oh my gawd! Barabara's b-bb-bbblack!! Oh heaven forfend!!"
Didn't notice Barabara was Black in the book. I am all for it. How about throwing in an Asian character in a city that is mostly not White?
This video popped up in my feed and honestly? Thank you for reminding to check out these books.
I’ve never been a consistent comics reader, but I like these being underdog stories for the big three. Wonder Woman’s design especially looks incredible. And I like stuff like Bruce’s new origin, Alfred’s name “Penny” being a code name.
I’ll have to pick up these books soon. Great video!
Epitome of the "missed the point" crowd, hats off to him for having the most braindead takes
I subscribed to you. I like your content! Absolute Batman is good; I am enjoying it! Although Batman is about 7 feet tall and easily 300 Lbs., he works as a construction engineer, and his Batmobile is a construction vehicle...You'd think someone would notice. Still enjoying it.
He’s Irish and has an American flag in his room wtf is wrong with this kid
Leaning into the grift.
Glad to see the man behind the legend. You have been in many videos regarding this young fool, so nice to see some class for a change
Yeah I remember watching that video. I thought it was a troll at first… nah he was legit. It’s so idiotic, he points out things in this universe are completely completely different from the main line continuity (which is the point if you can clearly tell) but apparently that’s woke, and two panels of Barbara Gordon of her being black is apparently bad and an unfaithful adaption? You can never take these people seriously.
Anyone that unironically uses the R slur in an arguement instantly loses
I didn’t think about Barbara Gordon being race swapped for a single moment while reading Absolute Batman. Why can’t they just enjoy things?
Best new comic channel I’ve found in a year
More like an entertainment channel but yeah comics i cover lol
@ even better
a trans emo batman wouldve went hard ngl
I mean, between this and The Batman we're halfway there
You're looking for The Lego Batman Movie lmao
More like it would be a hilariously bad travesty and a abomination
@@Hi.im.V not really
changing characters race is one thing (although pretty stupid usually) but changing there identity like that is crazy 💀
5:55 this joke made me press like on this video lmao
0:14 the first mistake he made was insulting for there tastes others that the book
I am good my homie :)
Just reading Absolute Batman, it’s pretty awesome ngl.
3:18 they have the same hair cut
Dude I LOVE Absolute Batman. The reimagination scratches my elseworlds itch while having genuinely new ideas that WORK FLAWLESSLY. I had more "OH SHIIIIIIT" moments reading #1 than I've had in any comic I've read in the last year.
This is officially my favorite Batman.
Also I feel like Batfleck is Batman if he only ever trained with a gun and half a brick. 😂 Oh that image 😂 He's just got a bunch of half bricks and guns on his utility belt 😂😂😂
Great video!! You have a new sub!
I love absolute Batman too
Absolute Batman is the first new comic I’ve subscribed to in years. *Absolutely* loving it so far.
Subscribing because your point of view is refreshing
