Bump if you're reading.

Been waiting for this

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

>Everyone thought that the crew would all get turned into monstrous versions of their villain identities by Ark-M
>Nope, Bane just literally beats the villain into them

Bane being the one to basically create Batman's entire rogue's gallery is a weird choice

>>150306954
Damn

>>150307235
In this context? Not really. They’re his support group, and Bane was trying to break Bruce mentally as opposed to merely physically

>>150307049
She's the new Black Mask?

>>150307235
I think it works for this book specifically, I was hoping they'd get to help Bruce in his crusade for a bit longer though.

This is just edgy for the sake of being edgy.
Is Scott Snyder mentally 15? How come he wrote The Black Mirror arc almost 15 years ago, which was really good, and now he's writing this crap?

>>150307380
The problem is that he keeps getting rewarded for this shit.

>It's incredible, he beat them up in the exact way that'd trigger their hidden villain switch!
This might be the worst comic of all time

>>150307016
The art here makes Bruce look like a getter robo or devilman chararacter, which is a nice touch.

>>150307380
black mirror was 100% as edgy for sake of edgy
you just forgave it because it was meme dick grayson as batman

>>150307439
>black mirror was 100% as edgy for sake of edgy
1. It wasn't this edgy.
2. It was well written.

This is h*cka fr*ckin ep*c

>>150307380
No Garth Ennis is edgy for the sake of edgy trash. This is fine

>>150307453
i remember James Gordon torturing random people to death in his basement dungeon cutting them up with dull saws while they begged "leeeasse" because he sawed off their lower jaw but they're still somehow alive so can't pronounce Ps
i remember little kids becoming croc like cannibals and eating eachother, and barbara's mom naked in the bathtub eating bits of herself, and retconning Batman saving Gordon's baby as a bad thing because he gave him brain damage, and retconning Gordon as an abusive father who locks his son up with The Joker for being mentally ill

i should reread it one day, it had nice art. But the story was trash.

>>150306939 (OP)
these ai written adn designed comics fucking suck

>>150307016
Its the eyes
Big expressive eyes on a unmoving face is a classic getter robo thing

>>150306986
Fucking hell did bane merged his legs at the knee ?
This is some fist of the northstar bonebending shit

>>150307347
No,she salvaged gear and will try to rip bruce a new asshole for what happened to their pals

>>150306986
Jfc

>>150307380
Pal,go fuck off and read saga
Seems like It will be more of your speed

Was hoping he'd have his poker buddies as allies instead of the Robins and Batgirls and shit honestly, oh well

>>150307419
I don’t believe it

>>150307036
>>150307043
Why bother having Alfred pose in a cool way like this if he gets KO'd by Catwoman a page later lol

>>150307049
Thanks for the storytime, buddy.

>>150307932
I don’t think he’ll have them as enemies

>>150307889
It's some toonforce "smashed fist into top of head and he shrunk two feet" nonsense

>>150307049
Her mouth looks like Sasha from Casually Comics

Another 5 pages of story packed into 22 pages

>>150308120
Yeah, so fucking funny.

Bane is the scariest guy I’ve ever seen in my life

>>150308238
you can imagine him with abathur's voice from sc2

I dont get what exactly Bane did to the Riddler. Like, is he blind now, or retarded or what. Also, if Bane's goal was to break Batman then why didnt he rape and kill Bruce's mom first or cut Gordon into little pieces before going after three random losers Bruce ditched as soon as he became Batman?

In the art department, Dragotta is fine and has created a unique look for this world no doubt but pretty much every fill-in artist like Martin or even Mann has been better than him at drawing this body-horror stuff.

Oh well, mid as this was there is at least the new Dark Patterns issue coming out today as well..

martha's suffering will come at the hands of the joker

>>150308120
You telling me bane hit oswald with a pan and he went boing boing like a spring ?
Scariest guy ive seen in my life

>>150308344
he gave riddler brain damage and also blinded him. riddler attached that robot brain he made a few issues ago onto his head to replace the broken parts

I really can't imagine Joker being worse, he is the one paying but I really can't see him being a bigger baddie than Bane. I wonder what kind of Killing Joke or Death in the family event this Joker is able to do considering that death by crowbar and wheelchair are really tame compared to what they did to these poor bastards.

>>150308344
Because he wanted Bruce to suffer

>>150308377
But how was he still smart enough after brain damage to do complex neurosurgery on himself while blind?

>>150308344
He gouged out his eyes and gave him brain damage of some sort
Banes a big guy,too big of a guy for rape and it would just incense bruce to fight harder,gordon being burger meat wouldnt hit as hard as what he did to them
But now that his bros,his friends for life are freaks of nature (and a burn victim) that hate him batman should run out of gas and will to go forward

>>150308426
idk. How was Two Face still alive after his skull was opened in half

>>150308426
He wasn’t

>>150308361
You ever heard this joke mrs wayne ?
*Proceeds to do whole amy schumer routine in a naked fat suit*

>>150308401
Snyder already wrote Joker as an immortal driven by the force of evil who've been around Gotham since its construction. I have no idea what he has in store for this Joker, but I'm definitely sure it'll surpass Bane.

>>150308426
He developed usb to brain connector and used a webcam as his eyes

Absolute Mr. J will laugh and smile as soon as he fall in love with Batsy. Hell, I'm sure he'll ditch any desire to be normal with the baby blood machine and decide to go full white skin just to look good for his man

>>150306995
Bane sending Ozzie back to the manlet pit. Absolutely mogged.

>>150308426
Comics.

Okay but are they still going to help him or be villains now? Hard to see how cripples with brain damage could be a threat to this Batman after he takes down Bane.

>>150308441
You can survive that if it gets stitched back,Its the trauma and infections to the exposed brain that are the problem
Theres some chinese construction worker who lost half of his upper skull (over the brow level) survived and now has a prosthesis of the missing part
Look up phineas gage too,very interresting stuff

>>150308515
Ozzie is crazy smart, he can be a threat. Harvey is just like main universe Two Face, not really a threat unless he has henchmen and guns. Ozz is probably going to survive but I can't see him being a menace unless he somehow earns lots of money to be rich or maybe Ark M will offer some medical help to survive and turn into a huge monster penguin or some edgy shit

>>150307016
Riddler got off easy comparatively. Is Bane gay for him?

>>150308557
Fuck I meant Eddie is crazy smart

>>150308515
They’re not

>>150306945
bump

>>150308515
Eddie could be unhinged mastermind and make arkham city style deathtraps,he also has cybernetic brain so tech manipulation is possible
Oswald can become a ruthless criminal mastermind or go underground ala danny devito or just get his hands on ark m stuff and mutate his wrecked body
Harvey is hardest to theorycraft cause he is just a burn victim with possibility of split personality so he might be just two face but turned up to 11
Croc will just eat dudes and turn more animalistic

>>150308454
Snyder already said Joker is the ultimate clown

>>150308557
What if he turns into Absolute Mister Wing instead of Penguin?

>>150307006
Have we seen Absolute Universe Metropolis yet?

>>150308673
Oh fuck
Hes a politician
Joker leads the United Nations

>>150308186
Writing an actual story would require actual villains instead of jumpscares with backstories

>>150308673
Joker is Gotham's version of Epstein, isn't he

>>150307009
Smart of Scott to not attempt to write a "battle of wits" and just have it happen off page. I dont think hes all that capable of anything but horror or big and dumb bombast. He does those well though.

>>150308986
He’s Judge Holden

>>150309004
He's not bulky enough for that

>>150309015
He will go on venom like in Arkham Asylum

>>150308986
the only two times we've seen him he was growing mutant abortion babies in women and hooking up their veins to his to slurp their adrenochrome
really seems that way legit, lol

>>150308986
Esptein knock-off will be the villain of Absolute Green Lantern

Man, I'll Ewing's nonsense or Camp's drugs over this all day.

>>150309069
I feel like Absolute Flash will be good as soon as something actually happens in it

>>150308515
I feel like they'll help him to take down Bane/Joker ultimately but Bruce will eventually have to put them down once they completely lose it. Even Harvey doesn't seem like he completely hates Bruce. Or at least doesn't seem like he's going to completely start antagonizing him just yet.

>>150306986
Jesus fucking Christ
>>150307030
Wait since when have the red hoods been around
Is that Jason?

Im REALLY hoping that Bruce manages to get the gang back together somehow, beat the Bane out of all of them, turn it their crew into a therapy group

>>150309048
Green Arrow* sorry
Hammond seems like the most sympathetic or at least the most underdog of the Absolute villains

>>150308673
He’s a clown because he seeks to entertain the masses

>>150306962
>Se
>Wayne
I don't like it, but it is better than Bat/Cat.

>>150309195
>Wait since when have the red hoods been around
They first got mentioned in issue 2.

>>150309204
Theres a board thats nothing but gay shit and yet you made em look straight with this post
I admire your devotion to sucking cock

>>150307380
Black Mirror required him to be grounded. It’s well established at this point that he mostly likes to write balls to the walls ridiculous shit that appeals to 15 year olds

Support you LCS buy buying something else’s

>>150309483
How long do you think he sleeps

>>150306939 (OP)
God Bane's such a cunt, I'm excited for him to get his shit pushed in. Black Mask getting stomped was so satsifying so Bane's asskicking will be biblical

>>150309757
Batman is going to maim him and go
“I’m not going to kill you…. He is”
>Enter Croc

>>150309831
nah, he's gonna inflict every pain Bane dealt his friends, mutated/burnt/shattered/lobotomized

Jesus, this is way edgier than usual

>>150308986
That’s the impression Snyder has given in interviews. Essentially he has the wealth and resources that OG Batman has, if not more and seems to be inspired by evil rich people like Peter Theil and Epstein.

How do you think Snyder is going to use the three Robins in the coming year now that he confirmed Jason, Tim and Dick will play a part?

No Damian since Absolute Bruce and Talia haven't fucked

Everyone blaming Bruce instead of Bane wtf. "Some guy kidnapped two of our friends and showed up to cripple us for life, better blame the only one of us that can still pass as normal."

>>150310066
>Dick
Well he's already been teased as an EMT so him and Bruce will be about the same age, which will be weird to see. I'd say he'll help with patching Bruce up but Alfred already covers that and considering how fucked the power scaling is there's no way he's dressing up and fighting crime with Bruce so its anyones guess
>Jason
Since the red hood gang has been seen I imagine Jason will be the leader of the group. Since Bruce still doesn't kill his villains in this universe maybe they'll disagree over that like usual
>Tim
Wildcard, maybe he'll be an out and out villain

>>150308986
If you believe the Bleeding Cool leaks then Green Arrow is about to face Absolute Epstein

Joker probably isn't a pedo but I won't be shocked if Snyder reveals he has a hand in sex trafficking

>>150306939 (OP)
Absolutely the scariest big guy I've seen in my life, dude pinched Ozzie so hard his body contorted liked a spring

>>150307687
At least Ennis can write believable character interactions, this is just boring edgy trash

>>150310002
wtf I love Catwoman now

>>150310194
Insider here,tim is gonna be chemo goblin with bernard as snowflame holding him on a leash

>>150309865
Hes gonna trap and betray him too

Literally my only gripe with this book is the length/format. 32 pages and it would be perfect. I don’t get the detractors of this, the edginess and blatant retardation is what makes it so good, it’s a Batman story you couldn’t tell in the main line books. I dig every bit of it and hope it ends up being at least 36 issues. Fuck, make it ongoing, what else does Snyder have to do? When Dragotta wants to leave bring Capullo back in.

>>150310306
Looks like AI Assisted

>>150310194
I think it's nice that him and Dick have the same age, they could grow to be very close friends since all of his childhood friends died or went through the most horrific experience because of Bane and won't stand the sight of Bruce ever again.

>>150310280
This is fun, but you must hate fun.

>>150306986
>waughwaughwaughwaugh! now I, Bane, am going to turn you into a penguin!
Fuck you Snyder you stupid hack

>>150306954
This killer crock looked very cool at first, but now I can't help but think that it looks kinda retarded.

I guess it's the tongue, it gives it this comedic silly undertone.

>>150310697
It'd be sillier if the tongue was shorter.

Okay. they lost me. I'm out. Goodbye absolute batman you were interesting briefly.

>>150306986
Darkseid, I know you're pissed at Bruce for shooting you, but does your cruelty have to go this far?!

>>150310610
lol i am going to punch you into a penguin now

>>150310805
This one? You were okay with the extended torture scene where Bruce managed to weaponize his stomach acid, but THIS is somehow where you check out?

>>150309483
This image made me realize how sloppy this whole issue looks. This book is losing me.

>>150310923
This is from the second issue...

>>150309865
Yeah i don’t see any other way you could match what he did to these poor fucks

Is like in Game of Thrones when Ramsey flayed, tortured, and raped Theon, broke all his teeth, emaciated him, starved him, whipped him, torture racked him until his hair turned grey, turned him into basically a woman after he cut off his dick, cucked him, humiliated him, and left him to rot in piss and shit until he had a permanent stench, then at the end of all that he just died to some dogs biting his neck. This needs something climatic

>>150306969
underwhelming as fuck. i wanted to see him and waylon surviving down in ark-m, not bruce teleporting to the surface between issues.

>>150310066
>No Damian since Absolute Bruce and Talia haven't fucked

Makes me wonder if Talia will hook up with Superman instead and we get a Jon/Damian hybrid

>>150309865
More mutated than he already is?

>>150310002
Absolute Catwoman is pure sex

>>150310893
It was like beating playdough into shape.

>>150308702
Or better. A composite version of Penguin and Mr. Wing (but a predominantly Penguin to boot).

>>150306986

He is gonna take all his gains and turn him into a dyel

>>150311307
He's going to give Oswald Bane's legs
Eddie gets Bane's eyes
half of Bane's face and arm to Harvey

With his bare hands no less.
He's going to punch the lifting out of him.

Meanwhile, I get the flu and I lose 10lbs because I can't eat right or work out.

Bane absolutely SMASHED AND SLAMMED him,hes a crocline waylon now

Jesus fucking christ.

>>150310893
It's so ridiculous it loops to comedy.

>>150310306
the Absolute universe is the perfect opportunity to turn her into an actual catgirl, don't fuck this up Snyder.

>>150306995
how exactly do you break every bone in someone's body and make them two feet shorter but not destroy even one vital organ

>>150311496
Total furfag death.

>>150309173
Is he still running from his rogues? I genuinely don't remember despite reading it

>>150307049
The color tones makes it look like she could be white in the lighting here, like the Superman the Animated Series color palette.

>>150306986
>Legs fused together
He is going to be forced to walk like a penguin, huh? I don't hate it. The body horror is effective. This is more brutal than Penguin from the Arkham games having to live with a broken bottle in his face.

>>150306962

Like “seh”? “See”? “Suh”?

>>150311001
But who is gonna have kids awith Bruce?
>>150311307
I suspect Batman will make Bane's Venom malfunction somehow and he will grow into a blob of flesh Akira style.

>>150309483
I wonder if Anarky will be a part of the red hood gang in this universe.

>>150312042
Bravo regular batman,It was tax fraud wasnt it ?
Its always tax fraud

>>150311840
Still retarded. Should have gone with evil twink with a bun leg ala Gotham since Gotham Penguin was the perfect mix of pathetic, sympathetic, and just plain evil.

>>150307002
First we do this shit where an evil secret lab made every other member of Batman's rogues gallery... and now all the rest of them were made by Bane beating them up with his magical super strength kung fu in a way that maims them to be the other freakshow villains

This is fucking pure slop. I fucking hate this dumb shit so much. It's insultingly dumb.

>>150310966
That's what I mean, the first arc's art is way better. They should've had more filler artists if Dragotta was gonna turn in rushed work like this issue.

>>150307016
Now that Bruce's buddies have all turned into grotesque versions of rogues, I wonder if Snyder is going to introduce Absolute versions of the sidekicks?

>>150308562
Bane scrambled Nigma's brain and Eddie did the rest of the work himself. He was the closest to being a villain, so little effort was required.

>>150312664
He won't

The idea of Bane breaking Batman's life instead of just cracking his back is pretty interesting, but damn if the execution of this whole thing isn't absolute shit, it's like all those 90's comics trying to be extreme, the Liefelds of the world who thought they were writing the next Watchmen or Dark Knight Returns.

>>150306986
>>150307002
>>150307009
>>150307016
This is retarded

>>150312664
his sidekicks will be an army against bane and joker. they will probably be heavily militarized versions of their main counterpart. I'm kinda hyped for this

>>150307049
well guess Bane gave her cat eyes or ripped her nose off

>>150312664
It would be a funny inversion if they don't go rogue and instead Batman forms a cripple army.

>>150306939 (OP)
Nice. Thanks anon.

>>150313517
she was out of gotham. bane didn't do shit to her

>>150313673
maybe he grabbed her on the way to bludhaven, did a quick yoink and tell her to come back in 6-12 months whenever Batman shows back up juiced to the gills

>>150313751
nope. she isn't affected by bane. abs catwoman uses military hardware in her uniform, pretty much like alfred

Batman AF's buddies were the most compelling difference he had in this universe to me, Bane fucking punching their villain identities in them is really lame. I hope at least some of them will stay allies.
Also Joker is probably gonna kill Bruce's mum I guess

>>150313842
For me its the over the topness of it all
Cant wait for absolute batboat to be an ekranoplan
Bruce lucked into last ussr heavy machinery auction

>>150310422
>I don’t get the detractors of this, the edginess and blatant retardation is what makes it so good
I'm guessing you like that Dark Knights slop to? Some people don't like reading things that are retarded.

duhhh i shake your head, now you like riddles

>>150312285
Gotham penguin was also a fag.

>>150307016
Didnt Batman pull his own teeth out in order to escape from alligator Alcatraz?

>>150306986
Jesus fucking Christ

I feel people are glossing over the fact that these 3 are going to fucking HATE Bane.

>>150314924
They unite with bruce one last time to deal with bane ... Twoface uses his lawyer skills to sue bane, the riddler uses his schizo powers to accuse bane of racial discrimination on x.com, the penguin penguins all over bane , killer croc makes a disstrack on him and batman beats him and they win using the power of friendship

>>150314985

>>150306986

>>150314985
>Penguins all over him
W-what ?

Why does the negative reaction feel like samefagging?

Batman's already got the no kill thing going on, but at least with some of his villains being his former friends it might make more sense that he doesn't want to kill them and wants to see them made better.

>>150306995
Only one man can stop him.

>>150315361
ABSOLUTE CIA ?!?!

>>150315121
Its either same guy or early stage of a gay libtard hivemind

>>150315392
Absolute CIA’s ArkM body horror modification was being turned into a transformer that can transform into a plane

So will Bruce be cured of his venom treatments or are they really setting up super soldier Batman?

>>150314767
it's either a continuity fuck up or bruce has a healing factor now, he's missing some of his teeth in >>150306986 but not as many as when he pulled them out

>>150315540
I hope he keeps it and gets way stronger and just cracks skulls with a punch

>>150315392
No he's just the exact same

>>150307380
>The Black Mirror arc almost 15 years ago, which was really good

Bruce needs a hug

>>150317302
He'll get one. From bane on venom

>>150307372
I think there is intentionally a bit of a time jump between them teaming up with him and then him going to ark-m, the annual coming out is set in this time period, there seems to be a want to leave it open enough for interstitial stories.

Pacing wise it makes a lot of sense to me to just introduce a bunch of rogues at once, anyway, we're a year in and it'd be nice to have a baseline status quo for the series.

What a bunch of absolute dog shit. How do people even ironically enjoy this shlock?

I want to see the ways Absolute Bane would go about 'developing' different Batman villains.

>>150318672
I'm wondering if Bane will eventually turn on Joker (like he turned on Dagget in Dark Knight Rises/"Do you feel in charge?") and we end up with a Joker closer to mainline?

>>150318952
Bane’s not gonna live past next issue bro

Joker will somehow do things worse than this

>>150318986
The Bane arc ends in issue 14

I don't think I was prepared for this series to have quite as much fucking body horror as it's turned out to have.

would they even be villains? between their ties to bruce and Martha, they also decided to join him on their own volition, Bruce even tried to get them to walk away after what happened to Matches.

I can maybe see Bruce fighting them out of necessity (You just know he'll fight Waylon once he starts eating non Ark-M people) but not like in the mainline Universe.

I think they will go on their separate ways, having friction with each other but ultimately go after Ark-M unless Joker gives them a similar offer to what he gave Bane

>>150313842
I'm gonna be real I don't totally see how Ozwald goes on to be anything but a suffering heap on a hospital bed for the rest of his life.

Why is she called catwoman if with her tail she is more spider-monkeywoman at this point?

Actually it'd be pretty neat if they all stayed friends and not villains. The Absolute Bat Family is just fucked up friends who never gave up on each other, and use their freakish quirks to protect Gotham

>>150319282
Shock value and disgust is about the only thing it has going for it. The *Real* Batman comics would never have someone close to Bruce brutally maimed, disfigured, and permanently crippled in such a way... So Absolute Batshit distinguishes itself by beating you in the face with a repulsive montage of
>Bane showed up and hurt all of these familiar names in extremely specific, gruesome ways that reflect the villains whose names they have because it's a double subversive reference
>get it? GET IT???

I appreciate the tone of total hopelessness and despair. are other batman comics like this? this sense that he's a small ant against a massive indomitable machine?

>>150319580
He won't be a villain.

What part of those comics features Dick getting his skull split in two or his brain smashed out of his skull? Or Babs getting every bone in her body broken so her legs have to be fused into a flesh mass that leaves her 2 feet shorter?

>>150319698

Lmao

>>150307049
She got some upgrades all right

>>150321929
Okay well when you say it like that it sounds silly.

Seriously Bane just did the opposite of Handsome Squidward

>>150306986
I can't tell his body shape

>>150321929

>>150322480
I have an idea actually
>Harley IS Joker's lover
>She's the one that produces all that mutant baby gunk to keep him alive
She's also his personal attack dog

>>150312664
They already introduced Dick in this universe, though idk if he'll have any more importance passed this small cameo

>>150322669
He will, once Bane punches him with his magic kung-fu fists

>>150306986
KANEDAA

>>150318672
Alfred mentioned that they expiremented on KGBeast and Deathstroke the same way Bane was so I wonder how fucked up their Absolute counterparts will be if we see them.

>>150322771
Slade's a woman in this Universe?

Making Bane so central to this Batman's mythos is a choice. I dunno if I like these plot developments but this is a cool version of Bane I guess.

>>150319660
that isn't a weapon for stealth

>>150322852
no. he's liquid Snake

I hope Batman actually has venom powers in this now and it's not just discarded after this arc, that's a neat idea
I liked Black Hand Hal in Absolute GL too but it looks like that won't stick

>>150310161

>Bane is so strong his punches are affecting people on a narrative level instead of just physical

>>150322480
needs even more body horror
punches her face inside-out so she's a harlequin baby look

>>150315360
He fucking blows people up in earlier issues. It's going to be the former friend angle that will justifiy the no kill rule in universe

>>150311386
Nah. She will be Poison Ivy

>>150307372
Yeah it's a little sad seeing the small crew of friends he has go to shit like this so fast. I was hoping he'd have them for a while longer too. Gave this Batman a unique flair having a support group of characters like this. Maybe even let some of them stay on his side instead of clearly going nutty or villainous right away.

>>150307347
Possibly? I mean we haven't seen what happened to her during the time jump since all her scenes have been flashbacks. Don't think we've seen her in "present" time at all in the comic until now.

>>150313469
Hey maybe. That would be a surprisingly positive spin on this mutilation.

>>150307030
So the red hoods are a gang then instead of one guy here?

>>150306939 (OP)
This book is a three letter agency psyop to test how much retardation the human brain is able to tolerate

>>150307932
Yeah I liked the unlikely allies they were.

>>150308401
We've gotten hints that this Joker is some abomination that is constantly morphing his body and presumably warping people from all over to his army. I imagine he'll be seen as either the being pulling the strings and be worse because of how deep his hands are in everything or that he saved the worst and most monstrous mutations for himself and is just waiting to use them.

>>150310697
Probably the lighting keeping parts of him hidden so far. Now that we see him more clearly it's kind of goofy. Presumably intentional since we know he's in control of himself unlike how it was initially.

>>150310237
Is there going to be an Absolute Green Arrow too?

Bane: "I'M GONNA SMACK THE GOOFY INTO YA!"

>>150315540
With how insane this Bane has been shown and the weirdness with the Mr. Freeze too I don't think it would be too out there if he just keeps the partial venom going through him. Makes it so all the usually ridiculous things Batman does have some in universe explanation.

>>150319698
Yeah he easily got the worst of it.

>>150320301
I'd like that. The line has felt like it's been working with the theme that even the most hopeless universe imaginable has heroes trying to make a difference. Maybe a family of freaks who still try to do better would fit right in.

>>150323888
Yeah, they announced it at SDCC, the writer is going to be the guy who did the Good Asian Pornsak Pichetshote and drawn by Rafael Alburquerque.

>>150306969
>>150306954
So there was a time jump between these? There's not like a page missing or something? Feels like we should have seen Batman dumped wherever Alfred found him. I get that we don't exactly need to see everything but this feels a little like a page is missing.

>>150320923
>Crippled
>At least stripped naked and her agony filmed
Nigger to this day we're still debating whether or not Joker raped her when he stripped her to take photos, and Killing Joke is STILL considered cannon, don't try and pull some magnitude shit

>>150307229
Between this and the current state of the Ultimate universe I think I'm tapping out

>>150322771
KGBeast is Agent Smith, and Slade Wilson is Liquid Snake Ocelot
That makes Alfred literally Big Boss, Old Man Ethan, Sean Connery Bond and Sam Fisher at the same time.

id kek if KGBeast shows up making this monolgue shilling the old days and the soviet union.

>>150323364
Lmao

>>150323830
If there was a single thing I liked about this comic it was all of Bruce's friends being alternates of his rogues. Having the "bat senpai" being a weird little crew of eccentric weirdos who could each help Bruce/Bats in different ways was cool. Instead of doing that, they were kept around just long enough to be almost-fridged for dramatic effect.
>maybe we'll get to see each of them undergo a dramatic fall from grace with Bruce
Or maybe Bane will show up and punch them so hard that they turn into grotesque cartoon parodies of their namesakes. Wow.

>>150324071
Crippled, but not also maimed and disfigured, retard. Not one or the others. Bane punched an average sized man into a Penguin shaped lump of flesh for the rest of his life. Babs got off easy by comparison.

Granted we don’t know what Oswald’s going to do but Bane really only pushed them into becoming evil instead of hitting them with the evil button. Harvey was already on the outs with them given his law career and the Riddler A.I. is probably going to take over Eddie’s brain

>>150313842
Final arc is going to be the Killing Joke with Martha instead of Babs and Bruce instead of Gordon in the Garden of Earthly Delights

>>150306986
Imagine getting turned into a nugget by a 12 foot tall flesh wall who's surgical enough to make sure you're going to survive the whole thing.
>>150307049
Thanks for the dump anon

>>150306986
Jesus Christ

WTF is this retardedly edgy shit? This was the comic everyone was praising?

>>150323994
It's not really necessary because we can figure out what happened from Alfred's comment, but yeah I agree it would've flowed a bit better better if there was a page or even a panel showing him reaching the Batcave and collapsing.

>>150306995
>>150307002
>>150307009
Honestly the worst part is that Bane can do all of this just hammering at them with his bare hands and still somehow avoid any organ damage. The man literally beat Riddler's brain into a pulp in just the right way to give him Riddler autism but not damage anything else (except his eyes I guess).
But I've made my peace with the writing of Absolute Batman just being incredibly fucking stupid, so I won't complain too much as long as it stays an entertaining kind of stupid.

I'm a bit bewildered that people are reading a Scott Snyder comic and complaining that it's dumb and full of edgy slasher movie crap. He's been like this since day one over a decade ago. The difference between this and his previous bat books is that those were rated Teen and these are Teen+. The maturity level has not gone up, the graphic content has, a bit.
>>150325368
The comic buying masses love this stuff, just look at Mark Millar's enduring popularity.

>>150325483
it used to be edgekino now it's edgeslop.

I kind of hoped that the characters that were his enemies, like the riddler, or Crock are gonna be his allies and friends in this setting because he wouldn't be enough to keep the city safe all alone, because this universe is on hard-mode, and batman is just a normal dude.

>>150315907
I thought they were going to grow back as Bat fangs, but i guess that would've been too ridiculous.

>>150306939 (OP)
How tf was the Black Mask snooze fest six issues?

>>150325682
just a normal dude with a venom delivery system infused directly into his body

>>150325754
yeah that was a retarded thing to do.

>>150321929
>Bane creates DC's Ruins by beating the shit out of everyone
I'd read it

>>150306986
That looks extremely painful.

>>150325998
He was punched by a big guy.

>>150307043
I know they're scared shitless of Bane, but the guy is a 12 foot tall dinosaur. He wouldn't sneak in there, he would burst through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man, not stealth around.

>>150323324
Yeesh

>>150311988
That's the absolute universe for ya! High stakes, even bigger twists!

>>150323364
His fists are literally plot devices

>>150317302
Bane is looking forward to it.

>>150320301
That'd be great, but Dragotta kinda gave it away that their relationship with Bruce is gonna change a couple months back:

>"But they are all eventually become who we know them to be but with that Absolute twist on them and all the relationships tho, it's not as simple as 'You're bad, i am Good'. It's just not that simple and Batman's gonna have to wrestle with that and also his actions are actually gonna help some of these people take the turns they do but at the end of the day, it's like a family so he can't really divorce himself from it, he's not really there to defeat them and ultimately, they are there to help one another and that's what friends do".

>>150321929
KEK

>>150323844
Yeah, they're a resistance group that Bruce knows, see >>150309483.

>>150325087
Yeah you're just a pedantic faggot

>>150326765
I kinda see what they're going for. In Mainline Batman is almost psychotically obsessed with helping his rouges no matter how many times they keep fucking shit up. With Absolute there's that connection and guilt there that kinda forces Bruce into that position

>>150326660
So why'd he do it anyway? Decided he has to take over the entire revolution for the peace through the Joker to happen?

>>150326931
I think Joker sold him peace because we see that Santa Prisca is a paradise now where his wife and kid live a great life, but in return he wants that war inside Bane to never end so he can bring the fire wherever Joker wants him to.

>>150326871
You're a bit of a robot if you can't understand why someone might not have a problem with the level of violence in Halloween but would balk at the level of violence in Terrifier.

>>150306986
He's quite literally poop

>>150306986
Manlets never learn so they have to be forcibly taught

Give it to me straight.
How downright fucked could he be?

>>150326871
You don't want to admit you're a fucking retard, but you still look like a retard.

>>150311520

>>150326617
>My body is a machine that turns narrative contrivance into meta-textual references

>>150319639
>CAUSE I'M IN CHARGE HERE, YES I AM

>>150326931
Basically he was given the choice to keep fighting the same pointless war forever, or join Joker's team and get access to all the resources he needed to stabilize Santa Prisca.

>>150328331
Yeah that's what I kind of figured as well. It just seemed odd since he was already seemingly the leader of the resistance so I figured if he took the deal everyone else would have to follow regardless of if his dad was there or not. His dad has already effectively crowned Bane the new leader and literal embodiment of the bird they had on their flags and all. But I guess doing it this way puts Bane in a "no going back" state which could have been what the Joker wanted.

>>150327248
He's going to be the center of everything so probably the most fucked up is being saved for him

>>150328454
It will be interesting to see how his portrayed in Absolute Evil, since in Batman, he has been a very background character

One detail I liked was the whole Venom not only juicing Bane's muscles but his mind too. Was that something from other adaptations? Don't think I remember it turning up before.

>>150328391
His dad fought to keep Santa Prisca free from foreign interferences, so it's possible that he wouldn't have agreed with Joker's deal. It's also entirely possible that killing his dad was explicitly part of Joker's deal to, as you pointed out, put him in a position where there was no going back.

>>150328467
They've been setting him up as the super genius King of all Villains who is responsible for all the bad things that ever happen, the origin of every super villain, and the reason everything happened. There's no way they pull that off in a way that's satisfying and not just painfully contrived.

>>150328477
Bane was always also a highly intelligent villain even without the venom. Some cartoons focus on the spectacle of his super roid strength, but the thing that actually made Bane especially dangerous was that he was smart.

>>150328477
other adapts say he was born smart but Venom gives him braindamage if he uses too much. In Arkham he started smart, but overdosed and became a drooling veggie and lost his longterm memory because of it. Also in Beyond. In Tom King's comic run he went cold turkey so he could get his smarts back but relapsed by the end

>>150328541
It was a show of loyalty to Joker's incomprehensible scheming

>>150327049
If Joker was going to gift Bane his homeland in exchange for the occasional piece of wetwork, why would Bane need to kill his father? Just don't tell the old man and it should be fine.

My guess is that Bane's island was where the horrifying human experiments were taking place before Gotham, but only to small numbers of poor people.

It's weird how every other Absolute Book is super edgy and dark. And then there's Absolute Wonder Woman with her loving mom and supportive friend group

This is just silly-edge, now.

>>150328955
Bane's not in charge, it's still owned by rich american bureaucrats like Joker. Bane realised even if he took the capital he'd get run over by the army 3 days in just like when his dad occupied it.
So he killed his dad and joined the winning team, and in return they let the place become nice and american.

>>150329046
It always was, it's just that it kept getting sillier and sillier while the author kept trying to be serious.

The fucking Bane punching people into other forms, is just Looney Tunes level logic but with gore turned on.

>>150329046
>now

>>150329046
Did you miss the part in the first fucking issue where Batsy's bat-ears are actually detachable knives and the bat-symbol on his chest is a battleaxe?

It's been "silly-edge" from the start.

>>150310306
Is she supposed to be black or Latina? No, that’s not a yes or no question.

>>150330105
Don't worry, Bane will punch some melatonin into her in the next issue

>>150328955
>why would Bane need to kill his father?
That was the price to seal the deal.

I'm expecting by issue 20 Bane's gonna punch Selina so hard in the ass her whip becomes surgically combined with her spine and she ends up with a tail.

>A guy named Drury Walker wants to follow Batman's Example.

>Bane shows up because he said one nice thing to Bruce the only time they both met.

>He now looks like a moth, that wants to kill Batman.
>A killer moth if you will.

>>150328251

>>150325483
This, I came to peace with it and learned to enjoy it once batman was riding croc like a pony

I'm not going to say it's good, but it is certainly a very unique type of retarded camp and excessive brutal hyperviolence that is devoid of all self-awareness.

Sadly, a couple issues ago they already showed that there was some sort of absolute Clayface and Poison Ivy things in Bane's labs

>>150323364
Absolute Martian Manhunter crossover? Is Venom martian juice?

>>150325682
Yeah that really was the appeal. His rogues being his actual friends was appealing, and they could have been the force that kept him grounded and not give in to his worst impulses. This could still go somewhere, but fuck if it doesn't just feel like a waste.

Apparently venom in microdosage can heal wounds.
It's why the doctors couldn't fix his bones, because they had already healed

i had a really stupid idea for absolute clayface where the thing is he's karlo, hagen, payne, and lady clayface forcibly fused together into an abomination that suffers from mood swings 24/7 and just melts people into clay on touch

The two responses to Absolute Batman:

>This is so stupid, I hate it
>This is so stupid, I love it

>>150339457
Pretty much. From the very first issue it is very obvious that the series is going to be over the top and silly. Personally, it's stupid Batman AF and I enjoy it a lot.

>>150330856
I think it has to take itself completely seriously for this kind of edge to work.

>>150339827
I honestly can't tell how I'm supposed to take it and everyone else is just settling on their own interpretation. The Absolute premise is supposed to be dark and gritty. The bad guys control the world and the heroes are lesser than they are normally. They're supposed to suffer because this is a world made for them to suffer in. It's supposed to be dark and it's supposed to require darker versions of these characters, hence a Batman who chops limbs off villains and uses his own stomach acid to attack people in a desperate situation.

And then at the same time, you have such silly clownery where Batman is kicking little kids like footballs and Bane is ironically punching all of Bruce's friends to manually create their villain origin stories. It's simultaneously the grossest thing ever done to some of these characters, and also the stupidest fucking shit ever written.

>>150340082
It's stupid as hell and it was clear from the start it was going to be. Which I think is the best way to do something like this. You want to come right out of the gate making sure everyone knows the line is going to be stupid. Once you come in with that in mind it is easier to play along with it.

Did he fuse his fingers together too?

What happens when Bane punches superboy prime?

>>150340851
He transforms into a truck

Bane's gonna overload into a mass of muscle tissue like in those first pages of every issue of this arc and die, which Bruce will use to stave off Waylon's hunger while he looks for a cure or some silly shit like that
Two-Face will have two personalities now, one will be Bruce's ally and the other will be an edgelord villain
Riddler will be an Oracle type character
Penguin will be in physical rehab and will be perpetually mad at Bruce moving forwards, will go full villain and betray Bruce later on
Bruce will be an enhanced human following the venom experiments with increased strength and intelligence, not to the same extent as Bane though

>>150340953
Huh?

Oof

>>150341464
And? What's the problem with beating up white nationalists?

>>150341025
>Bruce will be an enhanced human following the venom experiments with increased strength and intelligence, not to the same extent as Bane though
I've been wondering about this. He's already practically a superhuman. Physically and mentally. How much more juiced can he get anyway?

>>150331963
It would make a great animated movie. Each arc so far has felt like they were setup for movie length features.

>>150306986
Nightmare fuel in a Batman comic, damn

>>150341464
We have known about this for months

>>150341464
Bane is not white
Batman is fighting against a latin

>>150341464
They're just going to dumb patsys for the multi-billionaire main villain

Bane is not that of a big guy

>>150343762
Absolute CIA shoots people before throwing them out of his plane.

>>150307380
Shut the fuck up nigga. Get some testosterone.

Absolute CIA throws planes onto people and turns them into guns

>>150343881
Kek

>>150332294
>That skin tone
Do you even talk like that outside the internet?

>>150341464
It's just the KKK, you've had comics about heroes fighting them before, why is this oof?

>>150342187
You can always get bigger brah

>>150344052
usually you don't get Batman doing this.
Very much flies in the face of reality where the vast majority of streetcrime comes from blacks, but democrat owned media and now children's comicbooks will tell you it's all whites. If he wants Barbara stabbed on the bus for being white, so be it.

>>150339457
It was punting the baby which ultimately sold me on it

>>150341464
Is batman a World of Warcraft orc now?

>>150344052
Are the KKK politically relevant anymore?
Feels very weird for what was meant to be an uber modern take, don't the character fight the same group that Superman was fighting in the 50s

>>150344571
It's relevant in their minds

>>150341464
Cant wait for absolute batman to fight black nationalists,mexican nationalists,zionists and antifa
Cant wait but its bound to happen,right ?

>>150343762
Wont absolute plane just buckle under absolute cia ?
Hes a big guy

>>150344571
Last time kkk was relevant was in mid 80s after killing some random black guy in retaliation for murder of a white women
It wasnt even organised just 3 drunk dudes with a shotgun
KKK had its last death spasms in late 60s
Now If it exists Its more of a social club which discuses how to remove minorities that are nearby and cant decide on a movie for movie night
Half the people want naked gun and other half dont want to see it cause of oj but even then Its more of a principle thing

>>150306954
>roar!
hahaha, oh god what kind of faggot reads this unironically

>>150341464
Daniel Warren should've been writing and drawing this book in the first place.

>>150344931
He was busy with Transformers

Can TTG Bane beat Absolute Bane? Or does the edginess defeat toonforce like in that Death Metal issue with captain carrot?

>>150345060
Probably

>>150339457
My problem is that there's a very fine line when it comes to writing something over the top like that and Snyder isn't doing it intentionally, he's just a shitty writer and is really that stupid.

Fucking tired of that Tweet.

>>150347011
Don't you mean.
>Absolutely tired?~

>>150307049
I can't imagine how fucked up they will make Professor Pyg in this. Thanks for the storytime.

whoa now

>>150347228
Absolute Hilda.

>>150306986
Me irl

>>150346151
Was this planned to be a mini series? Seemed like the chapters were shorter. Or maybe they just felt that way.

>>150306939 (OP)
Its stupid but at least stuff happens in AbBat unlike AbSupes

>>150313310
Except that this is self aware and just unashamed of being silly.

>>150309534
As it should be. Comics will die if you can't get 15 year olds to read them.

>>150309757
He's gonna overdose on venom and turn into an Akira-style puddle of muscles, sinew and organs.

Why do I feel so bad for Bruce in this universe? He really hasn't had a real W in 6 issues

>>150344741
Bane is literally a nationalist for a south american micronation.

>>150341464
More compelling than Bane plot-punching villains into existence

>>150344571
Nah they don't bother with the hoods anymore but it gets the point across better to have them than for them to just be a bunch of dweeby groypers with torches.

Bane's hands are a metaphor for how ham fisted this is

>>150353303
I thought it was a metaphor for how hard and deep he is currently fisting Bruce

You think Batbane from Alfred's fear vision was really what Bane and crew are after?

>>150353303
>>150353320
It can be both. Bane has two fists.

>>150353332
Not from what I can tell. It's just Alfred thinking "This is what would happen if Bane decided to make it happen."
He's terrified of Bane

Be honest
>Batman defeats Bane
>Bane sees that white skull bird be overtaken by an overwhelming darkness
>Fear
>We get a scene like this
IMAGINE

>>150306986
Jason better pray he never becomes Battards sidekick

>>150353332
yeah.
i mean they don't really need him, but it's what they'd do as revenge for screwing up the black mask operation

>>150354774
Yeesh

>>150354774
Honestly with the way visuals have been used throughout this comics so far and the way the bird played into Bane's entire person so far it would be a great final moment if he loses the vision of the bird in the end.

>>150342732
The average White Nationalist in 2025 isn't white either so I say it's very accurate.

>>150357556
Maybe have a giant bat snatch the white bird from the air
