Bump if you're reading.
Been waiting for this
And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.
>>150307049Shiny
>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
>>150306954Damn
>>150307235In this context? Not really. They’re his support group, and Bane was trying to break Bruce mentally as opposed to merely physically
>>150307049She's the new Black Mask?
>>150307235I 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?
>>150307380The 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
>>150307016The art here makes Bruce look like a getter robo or devilman chararacter, which is a nice touch.
>>150307380black mirror was 100% as edgy for sake of edgyyou just forgave it because it was meme dick grayson as batman
>>150307439>black mirror was 100% as edgy for sake of edgy1. It wasn't this edgy.2. It was well written.
This is h*cka fr*ckin ep*c
>>150307380No Garth Ennis is edgy for the sake of edgy trash. This is fine
>>150307453i 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 Psi 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 illi should reread it one day, it had nice art. But the story was trash.
>>150306939these ai written adn designed comics fucking suck
>>150307016Its the eyesBig expressive eyes on a unmoving face is a classic getter robo thing
>>150306986Fucking hell did bane merged his legs at the knee ?This is some fist of the northstar bonebending shit
>>150307347No,she salvaged gear and will try to rip bruce a new asshole for what happened to their pals
>>150306986Jfc
>>150307380Pal,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
>>150307419I don’t believe it
>>150307036>>150307043Why bother having Alfred pose in a cool way like this if he gets KO'd by Catwoman a page later lol
>>150307049Thanks for the storytime, buddy.
>>150307932I don’t think he’ll have them as enemies
>>150307889It's some toonforce "smashed fist into top of head and he shrunk two feet" nonsense
>>150307049Her mouth looks like Sasha from Casually Comics
Another 5 pages of story packed into 22 pages
>>150308120Yeah, so fucking funny.
Bane is the scariest guy I’ve ever seen in my life
>>150308238you 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
>>150308120You telling me bane hit oswald with a pan and he went boing boing like a spring ?Scariest guy ive seen in my life
>>150308344he 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.
>>150308344Because he wanted Bruce to suffer
>>150308377But how was he still smart enough after brain damage to do complex neurosurgery on himself while blind?
>>150308344He gouged out his eyes and gave him brain damage of some sortBanes 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 themBut 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
>>150308426idk. How was Two Face still alive after his skull was opened in half
>>150308426He wasn’t
>>150308361You ever heard this joke mrs wayne ?*Proceeds to do whole amy schumer routine in a naked fat suit*
>>150308401Snyder 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.
>>150308426He 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
>>150306995Bane sending Ozzie back to the manlet pit. Absolutely mogged.
>>150308426Comics.
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.
>>150308441You can survive that if it gets stitched back,Its the trauma and infections to the exposed brain that are the problemTheres some chinese construction worker who lost half of his upper skull (over the brow level) survived and now has a prosthesis of the missing partLook up phineas gage too,very interresting stuff
>>150308515Ozzie 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
>>150307016Riddler got off easy comparatively. Is Bane gay for him?
>>150308557Fuck I meant Eddie is crazy smart
>>150308515They’re not
>>150306945bump
>>150308515Eddie could be unhinged mastermind and make arkham city style deathtraps,he also has cybernetic brain so tech manipulation is possibleOswald 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 11Croc will just eat dudes and turn more animalistic
>>150308454Snyder already said Joker is the ultimate clown
>>150308557What if he turns into Absolute Mister Wing instead of Penguin?
>>150307006Have we seen Absolute Universe Metropolis yet?
>>150308673Oh fuckHes a politicianJoker leads the United Nations
>>150308186Writing an actual story would require actual villains instead of jumpscares with backstories
>>150308673Joker is Gotham's version of Epstein, isn't he
>>150307009Smart 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.
>>150308986He’s Judge Holden
>>150309004He's not bulky enough for that
>>150309015He will go on venom like in Arkham Asylum
>>150308986the 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 adrenochromereally seems that way legit, lol
>>150308986Esptein knock-off will be the villain of Absolute Green Lantern
Man, I'll Ewing's nonsense or Camp's drugs over this all day.
>>150309069I feel like Absolute Flash will be good as soon as something actually happens in it
>>150308515I 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.
>>150306986Jesus fucking Christ >>150307030Wait since when have the red hoods been aroundIs 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
>>150309048Green Arrow* sorryHammond seems like the most sympathetic or at least the most underdog of the Absolute villains
>>150308673He’s a clown because he seeks to entertain the masses
>>150306962>Se>WayneI don't like it, but it is better than Bat/Cat.
>>150309195>Wait since when have the red hoods been aroundThey first got mentioned in issue 2.
>>150309204Theres a board thats nothing but gay shit and yet you made em look straight with this postI admire your devotion to sucking cock
>>150307380Black 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
>>150309483How long do you think he sleeps
>>150306939God 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
>>150309757Batman is going to maim him and go “I’m not going to kill you…. He is”>Enter Croc
>>150309831nah, he's gonna inflict every pain Bane dealt his friends, mutated/burnt/shattered/lobotomized

>>150308986That’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>DickWell 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>JasonSince 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>TimWildcard, maybe he'll be an out and out villain
>>150308986If you believe the Bleeding Cool leaks then Green Arrow is about to face Absolute EpsteinJoker probably isn't a pedo but I won't be shocked if Snyder reveals he has a hand in sex trafficking
>>150306939Absolutely the scariest big guy I've seen in my life, dude pinched Ozzie so hard his body contorted liked a spring
>>150307687At least Ennis can write believable character interactions, this is just boring edgy trash
>>150310002wtf I love Catwoman now
>>150310194Insider here,tim is gonna be chemo goblin with bernard as snowflame holding him on a leash
>>150309865Hes 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.
>>150310306Looks like AI Assisted
>>150310194I 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.
>>150310280This 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
>>150306954This 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.
>>150310697It'd be sillier if the tongue was shorter.
Okay. they lost me. I'm out. Goodbye absolute batman you were interesting briefly.
>>150306986Darkseid, I know you're pissed at Bruce for shooting you, but does your cruelty have to go this far?!
>>150310610lol i am going to punch you into a penguin now
>>150310805This 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?
>>150309483This image made me realize how sloppy this whole issue looks. This book is losing me.
>>150310923This is from the second issue...
>>150309865Yeah i don’t see any other way you could match what he did to these poor fucksIs 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
>>150306969underwhelming 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 fuckedMakes me wonder if Talia will hook up with Superman instead and we get a Jon/Damian hybrid
>>150309865More mutated than he already is?
>>150310002Absolute Catwoman is pure sex
>>150310893It was like beating playdough into shape.
>>150308702Or better. A composite version of Penguin and Mr. Wing (but a predominantly Penguin to boot).
>>150306986>Absolute Penguin: Wow, Bane really did a number on you too huh?>Regular Penguin: I was just born like this you asshole
>>150311155kek
>>150310610>>150310893Kek>You know what? Fuck you!>*Penguins your Oswald*
>>150309865He's gonna turn him into a half-cooked blind crocodile penguin?
>>150311307He is gonna take all his gains and turn him into a dyel
>>150311307He's going to give Oswald Bane's legsEddie gets Bane's eyeshalf of Bane's face and arm to Harvey
>>150311338With his bare hands no less.He's going to punch the lifting out of him.
>>150306969>20 days in a coma>still jackedMeanwhile, I get the flu and I lose 10lbs because I can't eat right or work out.
>>150310875It goes fartherIm waiting for his mom to become amygdala
>>150306948Bane absolutely SMASHED AND SLAMMED him,hes a crocline waylon now
>>150311338>Bane punches Ozzie so hard he shrinks 2 feet>Bruce punches Bane so hard he loses 100 poundsBRAVO SNYDER
>>150310280Haha no he can’t!
>>150306986Jesus fucking christ.>>150310610>>150310893It's so ridiculous it loops to comedy.
>>150310306the Absolute universe is the perfect opportunity to turn her into an actual catgirl, don't fuck this up Snyder.
>>150306995how exactly do you break every bone in someone's body and make them two feet shorter but not destroy even one vital organ
>>150311496Total furfag death.
>>150309173Is he still running from his rogues? I genuinely don't remember despite reading it
>>150307049The 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 togetherHe 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>SeHow am I supposed to be pronouncing thisLike “seh”? “See”? “Suh”?
>>150307006>Instead of a coin he flips a chip
>>150310893I have punched a Penguin into prison
>>150311001But who is gonna have kids awith Bruce?>>150311307I suspect Batman will make Bane's Venom malfunction somehow and he will grow into a blob of flesh Akira style.
>>150309483I wonder if Anarky will be a part of the red hood gang in this universe.
>>150312042Bravo regular batman,It was tax fraud wasnt it ?Its always tax fraud
>>150311840Still 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.
>>150307002First 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.
>>150310966That'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.
>>150307016Now 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?>>150308562Bane 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.
>>150312664He 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>>150307016This is retarded
>>150312664his 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
>>150307049well guess Bane gave her cat eyes or ripped her nose off
>>150312664It would be a funny inversion if they don't go rogue and instead Batman forms a cripple army.
>>150306939Nice. Thanks anon.
>>150313517she was out of gotham. bane didn't do shit to her
>>150313673maybe 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
>>150313751nope. 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
>>150313842For me its the over the topness of it allCant wait for absolute batboat to be an ekranoplanBruce 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 goodI'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
>>150312285Gotham penguin was also a fag.
>>150307016Didnt Batman pull his own teeth out in order to escape from alligator Alcatraz?
>>150306986Jesus fucking Christ
I feel people are glossing over the fact that these 3 are going to fucking HATE Bane.
>>150314924They 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
>>150314985Kek
>>150306986I read the replies first and like 5 people said Jesus fucking Christ it's can't be that bad can I...Jesus fucking Christ
>>150314985>Penguins all over himW-what ?
Why does the negative reaction feel like samefagging?
>>150314985
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.
>>150306995Only one man can stop him.
>>150315361ABSOLUTE CIA ?!?!
>>150315121Its either same guy or early stage of a gay libtard hivemind
>>150315392Absolute 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?
>>150314767it'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
>>150315540I hope he keeps it and gets way stronger and just cracks skulls with a punch
>>150315392No he's just the exact same
>>150307380>The Black Mirror arc almost 15 years ago, which was really good
Bruce needs a hug
>>150317302He'll get one. From bane on venom
>>150307372I 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.
>>150318672I'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?
>>150318952Bane’s not gonna live past next issue broJoker will somehow do things worse than this
>>150318986The Bane arc ends in issue 14
