>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

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
these ai written adn designed comics fucking suck

>>150307016

Big expressive eyes on a unmoving face is a classic getter robo thing

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

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

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
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

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

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

>>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
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

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.
