Who else didn't care for Absolute DC? They're just more boring reconstruction.
>>
>>146136771
>reconstruction
There's no such thing.
>>
Better than that ultimate trash one issue in kek
>>
>>146136771
I haven't read the Wonder Woman one yet. I've bought it, it just hasn't gotten to me in the mail yet.

But Absolute Batman #1 is one of the best comic issues I've read in a long time. 10/10 and I can't wait to see what comes next.
>>
>>146136771
I've only read the Batman one so far and it's phenomenally dumb. It doesn't even work within it's own premise of "it's harder to be Batman." He's got massive amounts of equipment and he's got knowledge(control) of vast amounts of Gotham's infrastructure.

Not to mention a living parent

Year One Batman would KILL to have this guy's life.
>>
>>146136771
I found Wonder Woman to be thoroughly awful. Batman wasnt offensively bad but I’d never in a million years spend money to read that shit. I have zero interest in even hate reading Superman.

WW was better than batman, but I'd be more interested in it if it was it's own thing. Batman was literally just "hey, recognize these names!? How exciting!"
>>
>>146137784
Absolute Batman will be one of the top three comics going forward for the foreseeable future.
>>
>>146137786
You can just say you didn't read Absolute Batman, anon. No need to make shit up.

I don't like that they're called Absolute because that's also the name of DC's hardcover prestige collections

>>146138070

>reconstruction

You mean deconstruction.
>>
>>146137786
>Batman was literally just "hey, recognize these names!? How exciting!"

That's how I'd describe it too. It's just "hey, this thing is different!" repeated and I got no coherent picture out of it that would convince me there's a plan behind it beyond passing novelty of "what if killer croc wasn't a villain? would anything change? probably not!"
>>
>>146137784
It's DC immediately blowing their load and forcing a shitty crossover within a year is what you should be worried about.

Absolute Batman is gonna go on as long as Snyder wants it to. Same thing with Superman. And with King shitting up main Wonder Woman I think her Absolute will last 18-24 issues minimum unless Thompson shits the bed worse than King. And I think Lemire Flash will be the same as Lemire has a decided fanbase.
MMH and GL are the weakest links.
>>
>>146138148
*dedicated fanbase
>>
>>146136771
I have no interest in absolute but I'm looking forward to Aquaman coming back despite the gimmick.
>>
Why are people in here so defensive that some anons are not interested/didnt like Absolute Batman? Its like they guy suspiciously apeshit. Like you cannot just not like that shit. Weird.

Art is shit tier. Cant believe this is the flagship title. It literally has injustice tier webcomic art.
>>
>>146138148
The art in Martian Manhunter will be worth the price alone
>>
>>146138199
Problem is MMH has like 5 fans.

Dont get me wrong, the Absolute book will probably sell better than the DCYou and Orlando books just based off of the hype and push the line is getting but it's not getting more than 12 issues.

>>146138198
I do find it interesting that Wonder Woman, Flash, and Martian Manhunter have the best art so far.

Batman's is mediocre and SUperman and GL's are dogshit.
>>
>>146138233
Characters look like different persons from panel to panel (Alfred looks like the grinch, then Ra's al Ghul, then Orson Wells depending on the panel), the shittiest inks Ive ever seen in a flagship comic, hands are all wrong, even Bruce looks like a Dr. Seuss character in some pannels.
>>
>>146138248
Oh yes, Martian Manhunter is great. Im not a hater, I will buy MM just for art alone but Batman is dogshit.
>>
>>146138147
I just think, "if this plot didn't involve batman, what would this book have?" Thr villains are uninteresting, the secret agent angle is uninteresting, the main character himself is uninteresting. The only hook the book has is "Batman, but different!"
>>
>>146138148
Oh, I disagree. This whole thing is going to fall off, fucking hard. I'd be surprised if any of these books last a year.
>>
>>146136771
its just generic elseworlds. not even really a new take or anything. most basic bitch changes.
>>
>>146138287
I'm sorry I can't take this seriously. It was a fucking great comic from start to finish. I think you went in looking for things to nitpick.
>>
>>146138290
>I'd be surprised if any of these books last a year.
If you don't think Absolute Batman will last a year you are completely insane.
>>
>>146138306
Wrong. WW is a witch because women are into horoscope and magic, and Joker is the billionaire, while Batman is poor because kids are into socialism and diversity. Also the death of Wayne sr. is much more impactful and relatable now that its a random zoo shooter. This will sell millions.
>>
>>146138348
This is pointless cynicism from someone who doesn't read comics but keeps up with all the news so he can talk about how much he hates them.
>>
>>146138335
If this was the first issue of an image comic with an original character, would you seriously be interested in the further plot?
>>
>>146138379
I pirated the first issues. I will give them a 6 issue chance to change my mind but frankly Im not hopeful.
>>
>>146136771
Is the new superman out now? How is it?

Deja vu
>>
>>146137597
Next issue reveals the Batmobile is a $7million 2 story mega-dump truck used in strip mining, that he drives through entire buildings, because that is how you fight crimes I guess, by destroying buildings and cop cars.
>>
>>146138382
Obviously the contrast between this version of Batman and the Batman we know is a big part of what makes it so great, and that would be missing if it was an original property. The violence is made shocking by the fact that it's Batman doing it. But I thought it was written really well, and I was engaged the whole time, and when it was over I couldn't wait for the next issue. I thought as an introduction to this new Batman, it was flawless.
>>
>>146138198

It's a book for retards like yourself.
>>
>>146138439
Batman shooting Alfred in the face is still shocking. It was a great image that caught me off-guard. And when it's explained afterwards that the gun had been modified to be non-lethal, it manages to be true to Batman's character while still providing a shocking moment, and showing how this Batman is a little different. I loved it.
>>
>>146138457
>And when it's explained afterwards that the gun had been modified to be non-lethal
It's not explained, it's handwaved. That isn't non-lethal by any stretch of the imagination. Loading a shotgun with flechettes makes it EXTRA lethal.
>>
>>146138468
So it's actually a comic book, not a documentary film
>>
>>146136771
>When I search for Absolute Superman I get all the news about Javier Milei
It's funny how that dwarf made free advertising for his new superman for these lefties.
>>
>>146138457
Also that isn't Alfred except in name only; it's just PennyStroke the Terminator, who seems to exist only to gush at how awesome Batman is, like some Berserk expy.
>>
>>146138450
>>146138457
The funniest thing is that there are versions of Batman that kill, even the movie versions are more violent.
>>
>>146138472
No it's a particularly stupid comic book, is he going to pour sulfuric acid down someone's throat non-lethally sometime?

>Batman but a Dracula!

New Elseworlds:
>Batman, but, uh, he's got street smarts! And he's rich, but he's self made, working class rich! And he's friends with his Rogues Gallery, and, uh, Alfred is like a secret agent hitman! Yeah!

Plus the old Elseworlds are generally a quick 1-3 issues, this is gonna be some super decompressed snails pace bullshit.
>>
>>146138499
OMG!! A Batman #1 selling? How unforeseen and indicative of quality!!

>>
>>146138535
Anon, they could print a new Joker #1, with variant covers, and it just be blank inside with one of Tom King's turds pressed into it, and it would sell 100,000 copies.
Because a lot of Batfags are indiscriminate faggots like yourself.
It doesn't bother or upset me that YOU like it, I expected you to gush over it. I am expressing why I feel it is stupid crap for low IQ Bat-worshippers.
>>
>>146138549
Yeah but people who spend time hating video games usually at least play video games themselves. I'm not convinced that most of the people on /co/ have ever paid for a comic book.

They're all exceptionally clumsy and poorly conceived ideas that do more harm than good. They're different for the sake of different, but at the same time, not different enough to truly matter. They couldn't put together an interesting twist on any of these characters and expect us to believe that the rest of these stories will somehow be better, let alone that these comics will coalesce into a decent shared continuity of any kind.

Anyone saying otherwise, is desperate for (You)s or a shill.

They're just too boring for me.
>Batman
This is the worst. They could've finally done a properly gothic Batman with magic powers and whatever, but instead it's just the same retarded Snyderslop about MUH STREETZ. As if that's what we were missing in capebooks, more STREETZ. But really, what's the hook? Being poorer made Batman a unit? Why? Am I supposed to be excited seeing ABSOLUTE UNIT cut off hands NON-LETHALLY with his NON-LETHAL SHRAPNELL-FILLED SHOTGUN? It's ridiculous. It's trite.
>Wonder Woman
The hook is pretty cool, Diana being both a warrior and sorceress raised by Circe, but it's yet another
>MEN BAAAAAAAAAAAD
tripe written by an awful femoid writer. The first issue was literally just a fight scene with flashbacks.
>Superman
It's typical Aaronschlock. Shallow political commentary with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. I get the approach, doing "Working Class Hero" Golden Age Superman in 2024, but does anyone care? The preview shows a Krypton society that's obsessed with "progress" and "science", but it's written by known leftie anti-theist Aaron, so he'll take the real world group of atheistic champagne socialists, and somehow make it about the heckin xenophobic fascists, the same way he took over Namor and rewrote his entire backstory to make it about some brown OC who taught him about the evil white-coded oppressive past of the Atlanteans and their abuse of black/brown underwater faggots (no, seriously, go check it for yourself). Aaron's incapable of writing anything that doesn't shit on the right of centre. But even then, does anyone care about more Superman as an "angry immigrant"? What's the hook here? Do I need to be lectured about the politics of my world from a fictional alien?

It seems to me that the second wave of books have better pitches because they're more experimental, what with MM being some 4D creature or whatever else. All the Trinity books are trite and boringly written.

>I get the approach, doing "Working Class Hero" Golden Age Superman in 2024
hilarious because Actual original Superman (golden age is too much of umbrella term) was As far from libtard 2024 version of "immigrant" as you could go, he literally had secret identity Because people fear "real" him, police hunts him, Action Comics 1 is literally about him as Superman telling Lois Not to tell anyone about him and yet she did, and despite that he didn't turn vile but instead learned how to assimilate and only maimed and killed thug scum and stopped wars at the root of the problem ie with generals, politicians and (((war profiteers))). Which is also why Golden Age term is stupid because ~ since 1941-1942 instead of message from the actual
"little" guy and someone who singlehandedly stopped wars Superman slowly turned into someone who helps average guys to enlist to fight japs and shit and by the 1947 he would get Truman's and Stalin's fucking autographs when 1940 Superman would foil both of them.
He wished to destroy all the guns around the world but at the same time he was real about it and used them himself, too.

Also Siegel wasn't retarded and showed that Superman can be super wrong too.

They are aggressively mediocre and safe for an alternate continuity. I am not sure what so many anons see in Absolute Batman since it just seemed like Snyder's typical dumb slop. I'll give Superman and Martian Manhunter a shot but things are not looking promising so far.

I hate absolute Wonder Woman more than anything because it encapsulates the problem writers have with her. Being badass and tough is 'cool' and ideal to the feminist writer but not if it has any heterosexuality. Being a woman means nothing to this Diana but being an "amazon" is everything and we the readers are supposed to be floored at the daring bravery but its just hollow and devoid of anything meaningful its two dykes crying. I am saying with full sincerity even Red Sonja and Xena are more womanly and good looking and no I dont want 'porn' before an actual coomer just tells me to watch 'porn' if I want a good looking well drawn Diana Prince whos not a witch.
Its not COOL AND BADASS TO MAKE WONDER WOMAN ACT LIKE A MAN AND COVER HER UP, skin covered does not equal dignity or everyone would have gone to see the movie The Marvels. All 'creative new directions' for wonder woman amount to make her a masculine warrior, that just tells me the writer hates strong women.

I just thought it was extremely high quality. It was a really fun issue that I thought did a great job setting up this new world, these characters. I loved the way Alfred narrated what was happening during the fight. I loved the way all the different weapons were revealed one by one. There were moments of violence that shocked while still keeping true to Batman being non-lethal. And the tease of the Joker at the end was really good. I thought it was just a really good issue.

Tell, don't show is more of a problem than a boon. Alfred's weird boner for a giant hulked out psychopath was more offputting than interesting.
>I loved the way all the different weapons were revealed one by one
Ear knives, then axe, then shoulder spikes, and then C4
>There were moments of violence that shocked while still keeping true to Batman being non-lethal.
Lmao it's non-lethal because the story demanded it be, not because anything he did was actually non-lethal. You can't modify a shotgun to shoot less lethally at point blank. You can't detonate an explosive strong enough to destroy a massive concrete structure under people's feet so the fall into the pit non-lethally.
>And the tease of the Joker at the end was really good
He's a guy who never laughs. So they call him the Joker. Get it? GET IT?! Also he doesn't fucking do anything and his introduction is just slammed in there at the end.

I expected at least something of substance, but you seem to be jacking off the idea of the comic itself, rather than it's actual substance and content. Also it sounds like you're reading marketing material. Fuck off.

>>146156333

Absolute DC is like they took obnoxious twitter redesigns and just went from there. It just has that same exact feel of design over actual storytelling and world building. There's this specific breed of artist that can't fathom an idea not being good despite it being "cool" like with >>146140225. Like yeah its new and novel and ties into this new version of Bruce but it's fucking retarded if you think about for more than 30 seconds.

Yeah Super hero comics were always literary junkfood in a way but it still felt like there was some level of ingenuity and insight to it. But we went from unstable molecules and magaanetic repuslors to what if a weirdly rectangular batlogo was an axe head.

Bruce being a 7 foot freak of nature is probably how Alfred found him in >>146138198
the very next day, despite A Bruce "hiding (his) tracks well," whatever the fuck that means.

The writing in that book is really stupid if you think about it for even half a second.
>>
>>146163298
That whole thing where Alfred figured out Bruce's entire life story, but at the same time, Bruce was tailing and spying on him and actually it was that Bruce was in control of the entire thing and was luring Alfred to him to show off was pretty dumb on its face. Kinda "you don't know that I know that you know" thing... But if you examine it further, it means Bruce knew to learn enough about Alfred to learn how to trick him, how to avoid letting on that he was spying on Alfred in return, but also that he had painstakingly prepared and perfectly read the intentions of some random aging hitman/secret agent to predict his every move, successfully lure him in multiple times, while predicting what he would or wouldn't do, and also predict that he would be so naturally enamored with Bruce and what he was doing that he would not attempt to threaten or expose what Bruce was doing to get whatever it was he wanted, which I guess Bruce also accurately predicted/profiled Alfred so perfectly that he just knew that Alfred would be supportive or at least neutral enough to what he was doing not to fuck up the whole Batman thing he was doing... Or he figured Already MIGHT fuck with him or threaten him, but did everything he did anyways, and prepared additional contingency plans to deal with the problem he caused by toying with Alfred.

Snyder thought he was being clever, but the entire thing is a contrivance oroboros
>>
>>146163509
Bruce had Alfred clocked so thoroughly that he stole Alfred's bike seconds after he stopped moving in Gotham.
>>
>>146136771
>Who else didn't care for Absolute DC? They're just more boring reconstruction.
Anyone who likes Absolute doesn't like the original characters or concepts.
>>
>>146163644
Not just that, but Alfred hadn't been in Gotham for some time and the job he was given shortly after arriving was to deal with the Party Animals. He wasn't even aware of Bruce until he showed up on the steps and somehow Bruce knew everything about him, where he'd be staying, where he'd lock up his bike, etc. It makes no fucking sense.

>>146138444

Sure. Weird thing is, it's not like fluffing here does anything. Readers are pirating. Collectors might buy the first issue and bag it just in case, but not after that. DC sales will continue to be what they are and there's no extended media prospects here. Just more wasted effort by everyone involved.
