Bump if you're reading.

gotdamn nigga its early
thanx

>>149415406
This book has been pretty bad. I don’t understand why anyone acts like the absolute books other than Martian manhunter are any good at all. Wonder Woman is terrible, not quite as atrocious as Superman and green lantern, but terrible.

>>149415493
This shit is so retarded. And not even in a good way.

>>149415461
>That Joseph Joestar run
Dragotta is once again carrying this book

And that's it. If you liked these, support your LCS or whatever.

>>149415527
Awww, they're friemds

>>149415527
This is so fucking stupid but unlike the other guy I'm enjoying how fucking stupid it is

>>149415673
By buying something else

>>149415500
This is just a nonstop clusterfuck trainwreck of too many villains and references into one pointless, dragged out story. Get it? It's Clayface! It's Professor Pyg! It's Poison Ivy! It's Manbat! EVERYONE'S HERE! DID YOU CLAP BECAUSE YOU RECOGNIZED THE THING!? DID YOU CLAP BECAUSE YOU KNOW BATMAN?!

>>149415495

>>149415406
Where was he keeping that collapsible club?

>>149416106
He's wearing a belt

>>149416114
That list of items confiscated is the stuff that was IN his body.

>>149415747
>OH MY SCIENCE, THIS IS A REFERENCE TO SOMETHING?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAA SAVE ME RED LETTER MEDIA SNARKING!!!!!

>>149415747
Actually tying all these villains origins back to the same experiment is a pretty clever way to integrate them all into a cohesive storyline

>>149416622
It kinda reminds me of Kamen Rider or Super Sentai where most of the major baddies or the villain of the week were connected to a single organisation/Big Bad. I actually don't mind the idea in execution though shame no sexy Poison Ivy but I'll take badass mutant monster Killer Croc.

>>149415661
she'd prefer Grodd in... what?

>>149416583
I don't understand how people hold up Red Letter Media as the holy gospel of discussion on media or ironically mindlessly repeat them without asking questions.

>>149416693
Yeah it's like I can understand getting annoyed at references for the sake of references but most of the time people parroting the RLM skit just look like they get mad at any references in general

>>149416776
Plus references in some cases are inherently unavoidable if it's an adaption or a reinvention of a franchise that's been going for like 60 years or in this instance it's just establishing that characters exist in this version of the setting. It's like complaining about Neronga being in Ultraman Rising or Bluto showing up in a Popeye work.

>>149415513
Banes like 20ft tall? Wat

>>149417044
I actually find that less strange than Bruce being 6' fucking 9

>>149417044
yeah did you miss the finale of the last issue lmao

>>149417067
That was more than 40 days ago cannonically to the story

>>149415455
>fucking stomach acid attack
I actually laughed out lous. This book is so retarded it's amazing.

>>149417126
He turned his shit and piss into a bomb.

Absolute Batman is a comic by and for meatheads, and I mean that in the best way possible

I just know my 13 year old ass would've considered this one of his favorite comics

Bane better OD on venom and explode into muscle bursting gore or I will be very dissapointed. At the very least just uncontrollably mutate into an akira flesh pile while venoms forcefully pumped into him.

>>149415469
I knew AbsIvy was just going to be a tree monster.

>>149416137
Anon, that doesn't say items extracted. It's items confiscated. That means it's the stuff both on his person and in his body.

>>149415717

Hi shill

Since AbsSuperman poached Ra's, what are the chances AbsJokah is Lex?

>>149415403 (OP)
Thanks OP

>>149418461
Did Batman ever really need Ra's? Ninjas aside, the eco terrorism thing always clashed with the slasher monster movie mosh pit that is Bruce's rogues gallery.

>>149415418
I appreciate how this book dares to ask what if MGS and Resident Evil existed in the same universe and Batman was there

>>149418694
Except it's being written by a genuine retard.

>>149415455
Was this necessary Bruce?

>>149415473
Glazing BIbbo so much but didn't Black Mask kill him pretty easy in the first arc?

>>149415527
What the fuck are the going to do with him now if he's literally the Gaping Dragon? Is he going to hide in the sewers

>>149415520
Bruce. You just watched him eat two niggas like hot pockets. Da fuq

>>149418823
EVIL hot pockets

>>149415513
He actually squashed them. That's hilarious

>>149417377
I wouldn't be surprised if that does happen to him.

>>149418461
mite b gud. I'm more interested in what he'll look like. It's gonna be disappointing if he's just a businessman with pale skin and green hair.

>>149418710
It's not like the Resident Evil or MGS writers aren't retards, you have to embrace the silly retardedness

I feel like Snyder is running through too many villains by making them all just test subjects at Ark M instead of actual villains. After Bane the villains getting their own story arc are:
>Mr. Freeze cause he’s still at large
>The Riddler A.I.
>Deathstroke
>Joker

>>149418710
Are we pretending MGS and RE aren't equally retarded?

>>149419179
Batman has a huge rogues gallery, him going through some of the more wellknown/overused just clears a path to more underused ones, at least I hope so.

God this is great

One thing I love about this is how Bruce is completely fucking unhinged

You're so right, where's the batman shark repellant spray, that's what I read these comics for

>>149415479
>>149415484
Any betson what this is going to be? Because they've very clearly done something to him

>>149416193
Agreed, that one got me. Glad I have the ability to enjoy this, I’ve been reading monthly on and off since the original Hush, I’d much rather read this that Tom King’s sad interpretation on the main continuity Batman. Snyder can be hot or miss but for my money this is the best thing he’s done maybe ever aside from his Detective run.

>>149415527
WHEW I thought he was gonna be evil

>>149420175
I feel like Snyder learned something from his past failures and is now playing to his strengths

>>149420273
Adam West Batman is truer to the actual Batman than all the edgy shit post Frank Miller

>>149420175
Metal was... alright. Death Metal was so dogshit part of me wonders if Snyder even wrote that himself or if it was another JMS/One More Day situation.

They don't really have 80 years to go set up everyone's comic book backstory here

>>149417126
It’s transcended beyond retarded into simply badass. Snyder and Dragotta are having a blast making this and it shows. The art helps to sell it IMO, if it was more trad and less stylized it would work as well

>>149418445
Assuming everyone who disagrees with you is a shill is mental illness, seek out and consume meds

>>149418788
With how tech and science work in this book, I won’t be surprised if they de-mutate him a bit. Kinda hope they don’t though.

>>149415484
FINISH IT

>>149419039
Pretty sure the title page from the first issue of this arc is a preview of it happening. Those panels have been foreshadowing so far like in the Freeze arc.

The character designs alone make the Absolute series worth existing, there's not a single book with weak designs

>>149415527
This is the best page DC has published in years

>>149418788
Probably gonna get him into some kind of witness protection. Use him to show what they’ve been doing at Ark M

>>149419222
This is funny to me

>>149419064
Snyder said he starts out normalish looking but gets disfigured/transformed a bit. It was on a podcast with that black comic girl where he said this iirc

ARK-M is a single piece of a larger conspiracy at work. The Absolute Universe has several different things going for it now. ARK-M is just what's happening in Gotham right now.

>>149415527

>>149415432
Dr. Death and Clayface mentioned. And maybe Plastic Man?

I think that might be Croc

>>149415461
Strange namedrop

>>149415747
I think these guys specifically are just random mutants made by pre-Man-Bat Langstrom

>>149421608
Unless they're tying different powers to different scientists; Dr. Death makes the elementals like Ivy and Clayface, Man-Bat makes the animal-themed villains like Pyg and Croc, etc.

>>149415532

>HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER.

>>149416583
>>149416693
Every single one of the references in this comic could just be experiments or failed venom test subjects and it would change nothing. The fact that they're all namedrops of popular villains from Batman's rogues gallery is wholly intended to be something that makes retards like you lose their mind and rush to youtube for "Absolute Batman #10 ALL EASTER EGGS EXPLAINED" videos

>>149421732

>joker turns eddie into a giant question mark

>>149421837
This is a stupid thing to get upset about. You're only complaining about references because they're references and parroting a dumb Red Letter Media sketch--one that was crying about references to Star Wars vehicles in its appropriate time period, for fuck's sake--because you have less of an original thought in your head than the comic, which is an impressive feat considering how derivative the comic is.

The later, because DC aka JISM LEE and the higher ups wanted to get rid of anything related to Johns out of spite hence the batkek wank.
And Snyder is a Johns Loyalist as many at DC RN, who hates didio and lee.

Whoa congrats anon, you read the book and repeated what's written on the page, the feat of someone with 2nd Grade reading skills. Let me bump it up a notch for you to where basic comprehension kicks in: it was written like that as an excuse to put "Batman AF" on the page.

>>149415479
>>149415484
Are they trying to turn him into the same thing as Bane? Bruce becoming hulked up to fist fight giant monsters is crazy enough to happen in this comic. It will be like that episode of Primal when Spear wiped out the ape men.

God damn, Joker has a whole freakshow think tank. But why? Also is the "Isley Biome" saying Pam is the director behind the experiment, or is she literally the entire forest herself?

>>149415534
When did Beast Boy show up?

>>149424665
thats absolute Grodd

The Flash book is starting to lose me. How does Wally just sap heat energy from Rory? Why is he suddenly "Guess Im a hero now" attitude? I feel like Lemire is skipping a few steps

I fucking love how completely fucking insane Absolute Bruce is.
>Has a support system and actual friends
>Has a living parent
>Despite this he still does shit like stomach acid spraying, literal shitbombs, hacking off people's limbs, impaling people while screaming like a DBZ character, gouging out eyeballs, kicking children, running over shit in a killdozer, and planting bombs solely so he can make a giant image of his face

>>149424883
My fucking hero,I hope they adapt it into a movie one day 1-1,have michael bay direct it.

>>149424680
He's a hairless macaque?

>>149424883
They needed something after the first few issues betrayed the gimmick; "No Butler, No Money" only to still get the best training + education in the state/nation, becomes a highly paid and connected engineer, and Alfred is actually still helping out and is stronger than ever.

They needed a better hook, and the instant Bruce drop-punted a child off a boat was the perfect pivot point

>>149425147
I feel like when they say "Without the money" they mean that he still works for a living

>>149422246
He has a bear trap between the bat cheeks,he studied Kevin Nash case.

Why the fuck is the episode order of Batman TAS different on Prime Video and HBO Max??

>>149415455
Absolutely feral survival at all costs behavior, more like Ratman

>>149425147
Honestly, I still buy it. He's not a multi-billionaire or even in the millions, and they explicitly point out that he slowly built up his arsenal over time, which seems much more understandable for his paygrade

>>149415438

THANK YOU BASED DARKSEID

>>149424685
Wally ad his anxiety arc in the first three issues and Lemire just had him regress to soon, unless its actually an Absolute Grodd book and Wally is just the human proxy.
>>149425133
Yeah lab animal who formed a psychic link with Wally after mindsharing that both their mothers died.

>>149415598
APES TOGETHER STRONG

>>149419064
We already met the Joker. He looks normal, but has this incurable condition that causes him to rot alive (looking more normal Joker in the process) that he treats by hooking himself up to what appears to be a throne made of fetuses and letting the stem cells regenerate him.

>>149425147
One important detail I kind of noticed is how AbsBats is out of his depth because they spent so much time building up how much of a fucking unstoppable badass he is only to run in to shit that's way stronger than him.
>Curbstomps Black Mask/Party animals minus some hiccups and mauls most of Gotham's underworld in one night
>Has a bat-killdozer and is armed to the teeth with multiple fighting styles and weapons, as well as being smart as well
>The moment he goes after one of the big shots he soundly loses and fails, forced to retreat
>Friend gets kidnapped, he tries to save him but doesn't make it that far at all before Bane beats his ass and captures him
>He fails to rescue his friend from being mutated and barely makes it out with his life

>>149425917
he was also out of depth against mask, he had to feint and accept the money for another shot at him

>>149419215
>>149422206
>>149419278
You think she is a dullahan

>>149419179
>I feel like Snyder is running through too many villains
It's little things like this that make me think that the whole Absolute line is not meant to continue past whatever dumb DC crossover event inevitably happens.

>>149426086
Fair

>>149426134
Honestly they should have copied Selkie

>>149415527
This design should not work, but I fucking love it

>>149419179
its alright, the real test of Absolute is wheter or not they can continue after the rehashed characters, who knows maybe it will branch out some original characters

>>149425917
It makes the world feel more real, and not that contrived garbage of the mainline books, where nothing of consequence ever happens to the characters

>>149425296
The thing is, nevertheless being able to build up what is indisputably a substantial and advanced arsenal still means that it was a sizeable and non-prohibitive amount of dosh, and the only thing that really matters about taking away Bruce Wayne's fortune is that he can no longer afford such fancy toys. I mean sure, he's not able to build rockets n' shit, but still.

Maybe the idea is that it'll come into play after this arc concludes, now that they've seen him without the mask, but waiting upwards of a year for one of the main gimmicks to really come into play is a weird decision.

>>149423818
A+ for continuity..if he’s still missing them two arcs from now then that will be some commitment to the lore they’ve set up.

>>149426414
He's a civil engineer, not a wagie.

>>149426462
A lot of people actually expected him to be a wagie, or rather a construction worker

>>149425166
CIs make $140k per year tops. Plus it’s been implied that Bruce isn’t above stealing from the rich/bad guys with Selina.

>>149424383
>Are they trying to turn him into the same thing as Bane
We Batman him plow through a wall in >>149415493

>>149425249
One is production order and the other is order aired, I think, I forget which though. Look it up.

>>149419206
>That bulk
Yup, the experiments done on Batman are turning him into a Hulk. He's also 6'9". This Batman is an absolute unit.

>>149426558
Thanks

>>149426406
Yeah

>>149415449
What is Alfred and the rest of them doing while Bruce is in Ark-M for a third of a year?

>>149416666
To be fair, Pamela could be concealing her power level and hit Batman with the old "You should have let the other guy kill you, I'm much worse"

>>149419219
Diana is about to get cracked

>>149420282
>>149420722
Bruce is going to gain Removal/Advance

>>149415495
This. I honestly don’t get it.

>>149415495
Contrarians and some legit retards love these books, anyone sane shares the same opinion that they are so bad it hurts.

>>149426917
Ashura was so much better than Omega

outsider here

im interested in read absolute universe

how many series are there so far outside of batman/ WW / Superman / Flash

Which one is your favorite

>>149427079
Just Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter

Bats > Martian Manhunter > WW > Flash > Green Lantern > Superman

Flash and GL still feels like its still trying to get its footing, Superman launched along with Bats and Wondy but still feels like its meandering, MM is artsy kino. but of all of them only Supes is the one that I felt is "bad"

>>149415403 (OP)
I can't believe people like Scott Snyder's writing at all.

Could Absolute Bane beat Absolute Wonder Woman in a fight?

>>149427306
WW beat the Tetracide and that thing was way bigger than Bane, not to mention WW has witch magic now

>>149415406
BATMAN AF

GOOD GRIEF HE'S NAKED

>>149423434
this made me wheeze

>>149425619
Jesus, I thought you were kidding.

>>149415406
"MAR" is making me irrationally mad, I hate that shit. Just call her Martha, fuck.

>>149427079
Absolute Martian Manhunter is the best one

>>149415455
Yeah, Absolute Batman is something else

>>149419215
SEXOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>149427446
Fuuuuuuuck, that's....just GRIM. Damn, DC.

>>149426558
Yup. Animated shows are like that all the time in the 90's and 2000's.

>>149423748
>>149423818
>>149426461
He'll probably install replacement batafangs at somepoint

Which hero is the one the villains will consider most dangerous right now?

>>149415432
What's the large titan on the slab?

>>149415747
>Modern comic is bad
We know

>>149427480
It’s the only one that isnt shit more aptly. it’s just also very good on its own.

>>149427079
Anything beside Martian manhunter is garbage.

>>149423409
Have you ever tried running naked? If you try to run normally, sometimes your balls get caught between your legs

It's not a pleasant experience

>>149427446
>Sionis is reporting
OH GOD HELP ME THIS GUY JUST BASHED MY HEAD IN WITH A BOWLING BALL AND THEN GOUGED MY EYES OUT HOW AM I STILL LUCID

Only complaint I have about Absolute Batman is that with how quickly the power level of Bruce's enemies shot up after the Party Animals were defeated we're unlikely to get a freaky Hotline Miami-inspired version of the Terrible Trio.

>>149427446
If this is what Joker looks like then hopefully they do something just as creepy for Harley Quinn.

>>149428149
I think the Riddler A.I bot will at least provide a different challenge than “Guy I have to beat the shit out of” but after that it just feel like a straight line to I guess Scarecrow and then Deathstroke and Joker

>>149428165
>If this is what Joker looks like
Only if he goes to long without fetus blood. Otherwise he looks like a normal guy.

>Bruce has venom tubes all over his body now going into every muscle

Anon was right. This is what we're going to get isnt it?

Absolute Garbage Batman would be a more appropriate name for this comic.

>>149428189

She'll be his personal attack dog

>>149422034
>so... will oz be a giant penguin?
Oz being turned into a fucked up, giant penguin like the ones in At the Mountains of Madness? Yes please.

>>149428272
OR...personal attack were-hyena/hyena splice?

> "You got a lot farther than you should have."

I see the vision

>>149427079
I like Absolute Batman for being over the top.

>>149428383
Perhaps

>>149428383
Too yiffy.

>>149426723
I'm annoyed they seeming aren't going to remake Code Veronica

>>149424490
The book is ass, it clicked the moment the first artist left that unlike with Absolute WW I really only liked the art
