but this is not a great horrible departure other than bigger and a more visceral.

I started very skeptical of this book and it’s won me over more with each issue aside from that first filler issue in arc 1. Really liking the dense layouts and the art, but also the reinvented aspects as well so far. Bane seems to be the least drastic departure, he retains his intellect and tactician skills from what we’ve seen so far. The horror aspect of this book works well IMO, because the antagonists are so monolithic and it’s just frugal middle class Batman and his friends trying to go up against them. My only critique really is that these absolute books would be better with an extra 5-10 pages per issue. AB in particular feels decompressed in spite of the dense layouts and heavy panel counts. Absolute MM fares a bit better being semi self contained issues but id be willing to pay a premium for longer issues on a monthly basis.

I feel like Absolute Batman's working-class shtick is interesting, because there are parts that stick with that vibe and others that don't.
>He's clearly reusing and recycling stuff, as all of his costume-weapons are fully reusable rather than being one-time use things like batarangs
>If you look at his costume, it's clearly not that expensive. The metallic parts are probably made of a cheap, lightweight metal, likely aluminum that he strengthened through basic forging. The cape is the most complicated part in all honesty.
>He's apparently used his friend's talents and connections to prepare further, like working out with Waylon to get beefy or learning electronics with Eddie to get better at it
>But he also has a bat-killdozer, which I love but it doesn't scream "On a budget" exactly
If you were the writer, how would you establish that Bruce is a very smart man who makes up for his relative lack of resources with said intelligence? I think it mostly works, just the bat-killdozer doesn't.

That's nothing. They're fine, whatever. The only social commentary angle we've seen in this book was about common nihilism, expressed as crypto rewards for committing vigilante crimes, and that was just crazy, like everything else in BAF.

Contrast that to Superman, which feels like it is droning on about the evils of capitalism. They at least made up for that last issue by having Ra's drop a baby off his penthouse balcony.
