Batman just doesn't work as a >le heckin working class herotype. He loses the Aristocratic Gothic Tragedy and becomes just another meathead patrolling MUH STREETZ, but without a gimmick. Daredevil has his Catholicism and Ninjas and whatever. Moon Knight has his Egyptian stuff and general supernatural bend. Frank is a /k/ommando. And so on. Batman without the elegance and high class overtones loses any and all appeal. Especially since they still retain his moronic no-killing rule. That kinda works when he's so rich and well-bred that it's seen as a sort of compulsion tied to manners. But you're telling me a working class nutjob crazy enough to dress like a bat and go punch serial killers won't gut a motherfucker?Absolute Batman is genuine trash. It's like a retarded Resident Evil fanfic but with a retarded meathead anime protagonist Batman stuck in there.
Okay dipshit, what SHOULD Absolute Batman subvert then?

>>150218065Were just asking you.How would you do Absolute Batman?
>>150218029>elegance and high class overtonesI want what you’re smoking
>>150218029I didn't care too much for this Absolute universe stuff.
>>150218029>But you're telling me a working class nutjob crazy enough to dress like a bat and go punch serial killers won't gut a motherfucker?Especially when the bat ears are fucking knives and the bat symbol is the head of a fucking axe. C'mon, Snyder. Absolute Batman should absolutely neck a motherfucker who treats him like a punk.
>>150218647You like the mainstream trash?
>>150218029The working class hero thing isn't taken that seriously in Absolute Batman (not much else is, feels like it's mostly Snyder having a laugh to be honest)
>>150218029You're right that it doesn't work, but Absolute Batman is not the worst offender. The main U has had no clue what to do with Bruce's background for decades, has repeatedly tried to negate it in some way, and currently has a wishy-washy compromise where he's *only* a multimillionaire living in *Pennyworth* mansion.>It's like a retarded Resident Evil fanfic but with a retarded meathead anime protagonist Batman stuck in thereYou're a decent writer OP, I like how you describe the noblesse oblige aspect to Bruce's crusade, and here you made Absolute Batman sound really fucking cool.>>150218355I want to know what you mean by this. Because Bruce certainly did have that, look how he used to dress. When was the last time we saw this look?The issue is that the gothic aristocrat isn't in the zeitgeist anymore and they have no idea how to modernize it. They SHOULD just be willing to make Gotham anachronistic, but they're afraid of making it look outdated, so instead of a smoking jacket and ascot he wears t-shirts and has a stubbly beard. It's shit.>>150219010This.
