A cape of pure Kryptonian dust? Now, I KNOW I’ve seen all that I have from the new ABSOLUTE alternate Variation of the Man Of Steel here, man! Good job, Rob. Keep it up.
I'm glad Jason Arron is giving it a practical use; I always felt Sup's cape was there for nothing more than to just make him look majestic as the wind blows behind him. But Absolute Sup's cape can both shield and carry folks, giving it far more application in its uses
@@kokayinewsome9308you shouldn’t cringe it’s literally science. Some people are drawn to others pheromones and it’s just a genetics thing. Some people take it as “destiny” jason Aaron’s the shit 😊
Rob man, almost got fired cause of you. “Batman doesn’t care how many women and children have to die, he will not kill.” Laughed so hard, had to leave the room.
I mean, the quote is right. Batman doesn't think of it that way. But its right. The number of children that have been killed by the joker because he keeps getting out. But hey, at least he protects his morals right? Thats gotta be worth a couple thousand kids lives?...
lmaoo nah the funny shii is how many people has batman really STOPPED from killing the joker? i always felt like the question he should have asked james todd was how tf you let dude get one one you with a crow bar? i know they dont speak on it cause it a fictonal story but whats stopping anybody else from putting a bullet in the jokers head? outside of plot armor and shareholder meetings that is lmaoo
With the addition of the Sunstone Dust, the Absolute Universe is really good at making us love the concept of a “fully multi-functional cape system”, it’s absolutely brilliant
I love that both alfred and Lois give the perspective of an opposing observer watching the heroes rise up and winning them over. Who else to but their biggest supporters to show them ascending ?
The sad/funny thing is, I think Rob publicly swearing off a particular writer or comic and refusing to cover it could actually make a tangible impact on the sales of that particular writer or comic, lol.
@AxelordSMIJES true, but i imagine some of his coworkers being like "hey Jason, if i have to draw/aprove krypto being left behind, I'm going to kick you in the balls" Jason: oh oookay
Man I hope people’s media literacy is up enough to commiserate with the themes of these new Absolute series. Lois is going through a shift in perspective I really wish a lot of us in this country would even consider for a moment given everything that’s happening right now.
I typed it once, and I'll type it again. Absolute Superman needs the same amount of love as Absolute Batman. And I will die on this hill. It's so great. 🔥🔥🔥 For people who want a grittier Superman, you've got it. For us, Superman fans, that want a Sups that still feels like true Sups, we got that too. It's just an amazing Superman run 🙌🏼 I'm gonna type this again in varient comics video when it comes out 🤣.
@@papi-sauce Because in modern times batman and spider man are the most popular and loved heroes, even more than superman. I prefer absolute batman too but in this case sales don’t necessarily mean it’s better, because it’s batman. Same logic applies to spider man
Can I just say I am loving that the capes of both superman and batman have actual functions that make perfect sense for the heroes. I am loving these comics so far, cannot wait till absolute bats and sups meet, that going to be wild.
They called the Peacemaker at the end Smith, that’s mainline Peacemaker’s middle name so that might realistically be showing the moment he starts to become a leader in the Peacemaker force.
Been reading dc comics for the last 14 years and honestly, this Absolute storyline has been better than any DC story I’ve ever read. Maybe it’s just my taste but I’ve been really enjoying this much fresher take on the characters
Superman having his original powers before he became strong enough to bench the planet? Sign me up for these alternative universes giving the fans what they want like the Ultimates or giving amazing takes on classics like Absolute.
we need absoulte marvel; the ultimate universe in marvel is so sucky and boring. i want an absolute spider man but don't make him dark just make him like this superman
@@JahmoyMignott bro im not hating or anything. ultimate spiderman gave peter back his wife (something that should never have been changed), but as someone who prefers marvel overall. dc absolute is wayyyyyyyyy better than ultimate both old and new. absolute changes the story completely and makes the characters the same but extremely different. superman is still kind but he has a chip on his shoulder. batman has aura but has more motivation to live and fight for his mom. i haven't read the ww but my point stands. in ultimate c, they either make the character the same or delete them and make a new character in its place. she hulk has nothing similar to her 616 counterpart. captain America is the same, ant man is the same, iron man is younger BUT the same. Spiderman the best character in the verse is exactly the same just older and he has kids, but that doesn't change his stories at all. He still has to be late for events cause spiderman and his best friend is turning into a goblin. kingpin is still the same
The Absolute series are the best I've seen come from DC in years. Awesome stuff. Also, oh boy do I love Sup's red dust cape. Brings me some Spawn vibes, sort of. Super cool.
Absolute Superman is getting close to becoming my favorite version of the character. My fav has been Superboy Prime for a very long time….but this guy is very interesting.
We’re 2 issues in and he needs a battery just wait and see how it pans out haha I’m all for new good stuff but look back at the ultimate universe and how horribly that went
Same dude. Although I do love superboy prime and worlds finest superman as well just behind the og superman. This supes is shaping up to be my fav version too.
i will always despise superboy prime, he destroyed the perfect universe just because he wouldn't be the center of attention there. dude is a man-child who just throws tantrums, glad they killed him off and sent him back to his world.
Clearly, Krypto has been taken prisoner by Lazarus and is being "observed" by Brainiac. A choice piece in his collection of oddities. God protect and have mercy on them when Supes finds out his childhood dog is locked up.
This Superman pretty much nailed exactly what Lois Lane is and how she see herself. She deny any of it. And Lois Lane doesn't want to take lip off of anyone but she expects everyone to take lip off of her.
The absolute series’s has become my favorite versions of both Batman and Superman and it’s barely started. I love the takes of them being both being raised from humble places. Idk it feel like anyone of us on earth could take up their suit and cause. It feels idk how to describe it, but it feels like if both Batman and Superman showed up here on our earth tomorrow this is how they would actually be and the kind of men they are.
Damn, this might be my favorite Superman and maybe superhero design too. And what he said to Lois at 9:35 was crazy true for how a lot of the world is nowadays
I’m so glad Rob is over being sick! I’ve seen other channels cover this and the last video, but every time someone covers something Rob eventually does, it doesn’t have that “oomf!” To it. The way Rob covers comics are almost on a personal level like you’re sitting in the same room with that one friend who’s explaining something they love in a universal level. Always one of my go to channels
What I love about this new univers is that superman is about to discover humanity not like other universes when superman is knowing humanity since his childhood
DC's ABSOLUTE Universe is FANTASTIC so far!! Really well done. I'm subscribed to KING SPAWN at Forbidden Planet atm so I'm not buying these issues but at the rate it's going, I will definitely be looking at getting these saga's if they keep up this level of story telling and character development. It's So refreshing!
The fact that Superman uses a tecnological suit to recharge his powers it reminds of that animated series MY Adventures with Superman where most of the kriptonians had tech based powers and his villains were all fruit of Kriptonian tecnhology. I think it's a cool retelling of Superman mythos.
I just picked this up, and when I realized that Superman's cape is made up of Red Dust from Krypton, and it's part of the suit controlled by Sol had me screaming in joy! This is ONE cape that Edna Mode would approve of!
Always thought it’d be cool if Superman’s frost breath ability got the same type of attention his solar abilities do. Like some sort of upgrade that lets him sap the heat out of his surroundings to a point of absolute zero.
Man lemme tell YOU somethin This is the first comic series I've ever considered buying I've recently got back into comics thanks to Marvel Rivals, and always preferred DC And although I know "elseworld" stories are probably not the best place to start off, these are characters that I'm very familiar with (less so Wonder Woman because of lack of non comic adaptations, however that seems to be my favorite) Because these look to all be absolutely STELLAR
Rob rob rob. Hoping you see this and all is well. I have to say that the absolute universe is FUCKING INSANE I love every issue of the big three that’s been released DC can’t fuckin miss with these
This is so much more interesting than regular superman honestly. And this feels like something they could make a kick ass movie about if they do it right.
The Absolute Universe is amazing and in Universe we have Darkseid to thank for it lol, hearing the over there speech in this video gives me huge Linkara vibes lol
I had some actual "Omega Men" comics, back in the day. I wonder if there is a relationship. I believe they were DC at the time. I also seem to remember Lobo's character intro in that run.
What I've noticed so far, is that there is a lack of Blue in this universe: Blue - being the color of hope in the main universe. Peacemaker and WW's pants, and Superman's main suit are blue, and they lack that here.
This is a Superman I can get with. I'm not going to say what character he reminds me of but yeah...I need to see Wonder Woman now. This is what I expected from Stan Lee's versions.
one thing that horrible about this Superman lost his parent when he was 13, while our superman didn't even know his parents so image the heartbreaking of losing both parents and your dog at age 13, for sure that would break any kid and I love this comic and batman and superman and see superman parent debut should they tell the council or not my theory, they try tell them and don't believe them and either something go wrong where they can't get in the ship and clark and krypto get on the ship but krypto end up on somewhere else or they do escape together and his parents are not dead, they just missing
A cape of pure Kryptonian dust? Now, I KNOW I’ve seen all that I have from the new ABSOLUTE alternate Variation of the Man Of Steel here, man! Good job, Rob. Keep it up.
Yeah that dust cape is incredible.
But I cringed that Lane likes the idea of a musky man.
it kind or reminds me of spawn's cape
I'm glad Jason Arron is giving it a practical use; I always felt Sup's cape was there for nothing more than to just make him look majestic as the wind blows behind him. But Absolute Sup's cape can both shield and carry folks, giving it far more application in its uses

“Batman doesn’t care how many women and children have to die, he will not kill.”

This is the same reason Jason Todd has a problem with Batman.

Laughing at the absurdity of it because it ia a 100% true. I get what rob was saying and i agree fully, just the way he said it struck me.
Superman Jumps Good
Superman fell for the "come to Brazil" meme, you love to see it
And pulled the look off better than other characters
With the addition of the Sunstone Dust, the Absolute Universe is really good at making us love the concept of a “fully multi-functional cape system”, it’s absolutely brilliant
And as I said before, it is Edna Mode approved!
@ “Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers, nice man, good with the kids”
I love that both alfred and Lois give the perspective of an opposing observer watching the heroes rise up and winning them over. Who else to but their biggest supporters to show them ascending ?
I never thought it that way 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Now I'm curious as to what Steve Trevor can do for this version of Wonder Woman
Underrated commment!! I'm So glad I aint the only one that thought this! 👏👏👏👏
I can't wait for the omnibus of absolute batman Superman and Wonder Woman to come out , but I'll have these videos to tie me over till then.
Some of those variant covers are worth owning.
Jason Aaron: "What, Rob? Thats craaazy..." As he crumples the page where krypto was left behind
The sad/funny thing is, I think Rob publicly swearing off a particular writer or comic and refusing to cover it could actually make a tangible impact on the sales of that particular writer or comic, lol.

@@AxelordSMIJESmight help sales. I’d have to go buy the issues rather than just keep up on here till the trades are out.
Man I hope people’s media literacy is up enough to commiserate with the themes of these new Absolute series.
Lois is going through a shift in perspective I really wish a lot of us in this country would even consider for a moment given everything that’s happening right now.
Calm down pal
Jason Aaron heard Edna Mode's thing about capes and said "Aight bet." And then he waited for 20 years.
I typed it once, and I'll type it again.

Yeah I noticed that and I was wondering why Rob never mentioned it
Never really been that big on Superman, but loving this story so far
You be missed out give him a chance especially the 80’s Superman
How you not a fan of Superman? That’s crazzzyyy
Injustice did irreparable harm to Superman. And in fact for much of the new 52 as well. Pre-Crisis Superman is fantastic to read
that suit and red dust cape is pretty bad ass
I enjoyed the new 52 but dam this is how you reboot/imagine characters so good
Not a reboot, this is an alternative universe
Been reading dc comics for the last 14 years and honestly, this Absolute storyline has been better than any DC story I’ve ever read. Maybe it’s just my taste but I’ve been really enjoying this much fresher take on the characters
I love Absolute Superman's red dust cape; it very much reminds me of Spawn's cape in both look and practicality =D
If Louis becomes a field reporter in war zones, this Louis will be the greatest ever and we need a animated movie.
The whole absolute series is already adaptation worthy

Superman having his original powers before he became strong enough to bench the planet?
Sign me up for these alternative universes giving the fans what they want like the Ultimates or giving amazing takes on classics like Absolute.

How long have they been working on these stories and re-imagined versions? Good god, it's incredible.
It’s like spawn and Superman fused together it’s really a dope balance of the character
Jason Aaron, my fellow KC resident, laying down an absolute banger of a Superman story, and I'm ABSOLUTELY here for it!
Haven’t cared about Superman like this in a while
I said this back when issue 1 dropped! As someone who rarely gets into a Superman story, I am hooked!!!
Well you're missing out a lot cause last few years were amazing for Clark. Ever since Rebirth his stories were largely good - great
I never cared about Superman until now lmao
Or at least not for his story’s in the most part
@@JimmyHxxme either and I've been reading for a long time. He's cool, I'm just not a fan but this is good.

Absolute Superman is gonna grow stronger and it’s definitely showing here. Plus this is one man of steel that is fighting for the common man.
Well, Smith, the peacemaker that executes those people, is almost certainly THE Peacemaker, Christopher Smith.

Your effort is obvious!
I don’t wanna ever hear Mr.comicsexplained say “jump his bones” ever again lol 😂
Stronger than last time
Is this a reference to Coach Greg?
the "peacemaker" adress is probably like "you understood, marine?"
Yeah, the Christopher Smith version shows up at the end and is the only one referred to by name.
I LOVE seing superman fight like this .
Thanks for this awesome birthday present, Rob!!

Absolute versions = Realistic versions
Yeah, the absolute universe is *GOATED*

Clearly, Krypto has been taken prisoner by Lazarus and is being "observed" by Brainiac. A choice piece in his collection of oddities.
God protect and have mercy on them when Supes finds out his childhood dog is locked up.
I want supe to go John wick on them.

Thanks for the upload. 10/10 story so far
You are not lying. The Absolute Universe is better than Main Continuity
Is there a story where Superman out lives Lois and moves on with the next chick? I’m kind of tired of hearing about Lois lol
🤣
Kingdom come
havent seen the video, already liked it
Thank you for these videos. I don't read comics but this makes up for it a little :)
Get these chuffs off me!😂😂😂
He got that god mentality okay but with understanding
What I love about this new univers is that superman is about to discover humanity not like other universes when superman is knowing humanity since his childhood
It's like if Superman merged with Spawn. Give Superman a super suit and intelligent cape. Why not?

Chris Smith Peacemaker shows up at the end and kills those people.

So he got his own Jarvis, no new powers.

Awesome one, Rob🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Love the Absolute series, caught up on Superman and Batman, about to check out Wonder Woman.
These stories are [In Rob's voice] "AMAZING!!"
I hope to get my copy tomorrow. Really liked the first issue!
Man lemme tell YOU somethin
This is the first comic series I've ever considered buying
I've recently got back into comics thanks to Marvel Rivals, and always preferred DC
And although I know "elseworld" stories are probably not the best place to start off, these are characters that I'm very familiar with (less so Wonder Woman because of lack of non comic adaptations, however that seems to be my favorite)
Because these look to all be absolutely STELLAR

Can we all just agree that this series is going to be ABSOLUTELY incredible
The Absolute Universe is amazing and in Universe we have Darkseid to thank for it lol, hearing the over there speech in this video gives me huge Linkara vibes lol
“Helicopter” Helitank, sir. Helitank.
This is my Superman lol wholeheartedly gonna buy all of these not only for collection but for what it makes you feel as a reader.
Bro this absolute universe is going HAM
Seeing a good story like this really makes me wish we got more quality stuff out of the dark multiverse.
I had some actual "Omega Men" comics, back in the day. I wonder if there is a relationship. I believe they were DC at the time. I also seem to remember Lobo's character intro in that run.
Dude it's like they combined Superman with a dash of Spawn 🤣 love it!!
I am so glad they gave Jason Aaron this job.
What I've noticed so far, is that there is a lack of Blue in this universe: Blue - being the color of hope in the main universe. Peacemaker and WW's pants, and Superman's main suit are blue, and they lack that here.
4:11 Did someone just stick rotor blades to a tank and call it a day?! That's such a 90s idea 😂
This is a Superman I can get with. I'm not going to say what character he reminds me of but yeah...I need to see Wonder Woman now. This is what I expected from Stan Lee's versions.

jesus christ rob, not every tidbit of writing is supposed to imply she wants to sleep with him.
The nanite cape might be the coolest new power they've given Superman since like... heat vision.
