Looks like its a JK funded strike force. That blue one with the med symbol could be Dick. Jesus Christ, they went full Warhammer
I guess this is about as stupid as I was expecting
>>153116398It's basically Warhammer
>>153116376Didn't they already do this with BatGordon?
LMAO Dick fans BTFO. Jason is going to be the leader here since he is red and Dick is stuck as some lame medical mech.
>>153116469That just means Jason is going to be the idiot that 100% supports and believes on the Joker.
>>153116376I am okay with this. I'm glad it's something cool instead of "mutated half bird half man monstrosity" or some shit like that.
>they took Robin>AND NOW HE'S BIGGERMo' like Absolute Unitverse amirite fellas? *wiggles eyebrows* *spins bowtie*
>>153116376Absolute Patlabor?
>>153116490Which is cooler than some lame medical person. Jason is obviously going to be the Robin raised by Joker here.
>>153116464yes
>introducing every Robin at the startWhy?
>>153116526Nah, Absolute Votoms scopedog.
>>153116376The only reason this shit sells is because normalfags can clap and soiface over how "cool" and "badass" it is right? Snyder basically just writes comics like he's writing a modernized version of Spawn and other mid-'90s Image trash.
>>153116939>Snyder basically just writes comics like he's writing a modernized version of Spawn and other mid-'90s Image trashSo the last time comics were good?
>>153116762>it's cooler to be the Joker's mookYeah sure, bub.
>>153116939What sort of batman book do you want? It's not like this is the only one, the Matt Fraction run that is going right now is also very good, we just had the excellent dark patterns.
>>153117018Cope Dickfag. Jason is now the first Robin here and the leader and Dick behind him, lol
>>153116376PFFFFFT! Okay, Dick. We get that you need to somehow match your dad's hugeness, but come on, circus boy. >full on WarhammerHot take, this looks a hundred times better than any Spess Muhreen by a country mile.
>>153116939>Snyder basically just writes comics like he's writing a modernized version of Spawn and other mid-'90s Image trash.Absolute Joker is basically the Violator
>>153117047Dick is most likely the blue one with the cross on it
>>153116376It just feels a little close to what they did with the peacemakers in Absolute Superman, honestly.
>>153116939This post reeks of "I have to be the contrarian dick to sound smart"
So the motorcycles are tim, Duke, And Steph right?
>>153117071Why, cause the armor is blue? You now remember that Nightwing's costume was red in the Nu52.
>>153117007Spawn and the rest of that Image garbage is not good no and I don't mean that in a pretentious way because I'm reading that Superman Finest that starts the Triangle Era and it's great. The Image shit is just dreck.
Fucking love it.
>>153117096No, because Dick is already an EMT in the absolute batman books.
>>153117079That's the vast majority of 4chan. Liking things might as well be straight up against the rules at this point.
>>153117096Because he's an EMT in absolute?
>>153116376This is more embarrassing than anything from the grimdark 90's.
>>153117044>Jason is now the first Robin here and the leaderThe leader of Joker's brainwashed lap dogs, what an honor.I bet he'll die still loyal to him, while all the others join Bruce lol
>>153117111>>153117114Why the hell is he an EMT? Does Darkseid's hell world not have circuses?
>>153117142Snyder has this strange obsession, the last DC event was similar.
>>153117142And Dick is just a dump medic, lol. Dick probably has no trained combat experience and is just a weak EMT.
>>153117163Jack Grim doesnt like them.
>>153117142Jason was raised by the Joker. So he obviously is going to follow him. Dick is the brainwashed one thinking Batman is a bad guy.
>>153117163No idea, I don't think anyone has thought Dick being an EMT is interesting. Seems he is just an EMT to explain why Dick is the medical mech in the Robins unit here.
>>153116376https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ca-AawQfdIObligatory
>>153117174>a medicA great man of HEALING, just like Bruce's father, I'm sure he would appreciate that.Power doesn't just lie in violence, not like a J*son fan would know anything about that.
>>153117218There's a difference between being misled and being brainwashed, Dick only just joined Joker, Jason has given his whole life to him.It'd be considerably easier for Dick to leave Joker than Jason.
>>153116376Tim's mecha has got a sex machine and runs on keeping his asshole fucked by constantly generating power through pleasure. GayGODS we win.
>>153117288You joke, but it occurred to me that Tim may be the one who designed these in the first place.
>>153117305Tim Drake as Absolute Designer
>>153116376>WarhammerScott Snyder went Full Battletech Circa Amaris Civil War, all is left is warcrimes and Gotham getting nuked
>>153117044>universe where everything is wrong>Jason is the leaderKEKAROO
>>153117288>keeping his asshole fucked by constantly generating power through pleasureAquarion?
>>153117332Absolute Firefly is just a nuke
>>153116376Are we done with this yet? It's getting dumb
>>153117288Okay, but where does Absolute Bernard, Absolute Tim's iconic Absolute boyfriend fit into this?
>>153117365>gettingIsn't the whole point of Absolute to go full on grimderp?
>>153117374He was dropped even in the mainline universe, fags were reviewbombing issues where he appeared.
>>153117402It is less grimdark than 2000s DC, it is more tangent 2.0.Brickman is basically Batman meets resident evil.
>>153117404No he wasn't, he was just brought up by Tim as one of the reasons he's taking a break from Robin.
>>153116929It's Baymax.>>153116376It's gonna be little Boy Wonder in a plug suit looking thing that is somewhat his OG design or Tim's design. I'm calling it.Either way, I'm ok with the Absolute Batman concept but it's gonna turn out shallow in the end.
>>153116376This is cool. Comics should be cool.Fuck the haters.
>>153117402No, the point of Absolute is doing something different from what these heroes usually do.It just so happens that since DC heroes tend to be relatively light, any reboot/modernization of them always leans towards this kind of tone, this isn't even the second time they've done this.
>>153117273Bruce is getting Harley as his Carrie Kelley with Dick, Babs and Tim joining later.If Jasondies loyal to the joker we are getting a reverse Death in Family where instead Jason sees the joker abandoning him and killing him for failing to kill the batman, and he becomes Absolute Red Hood since he is obviously getting the improvements Deathstroke got to replace his face
>>153117288Tim just has a motorcycle >>153117089
>>153117089I completely forgot about Duke's existence, he's such a nothing token of a character.
>>153117042That anon wants the New Warriors. The one with Snowflake and Safespace.
>>153117463Harley is already the absolute red hood
>>153117484
>>153117595Nah, she is Carrie Kelley
>>153116376This series is so fucking retarded I love it
>>153116376CRINGE
>>153117332Gotham splinters into territories ruled by 5 great houses?
They look lame. Synder already did this in his Jim Gordon Batman arc which was awful.
Bros...All I want to say is God Bless Scott Snyder and Long Live KINO
>>153116376>>153116929WOW THIS IS JUST LIKE ANIME AND MANGA
>>153116464you now realize absolute is just new 52
>>153116464It was Snyder himself, he doesn't even have a bag of tricks, it's a coin purse.
>>153117855Nah, it's like starship troopers innit'?
We sure the guy in the front isn't Tim?
>>153116524Fuck you, I kek'd.
>>153118019Like 90% sure. Snyder doesn't like tim.
>>153118019Jason's color is red. So it is Jason.
>robot giganigga with a machine gun>um ackshully faggots maldingAbsolute Basedman does it again.
>>153118088Tims color is red too. He was red Robin.
>>153118126He hasn't been Red Robin in over 15 years. Jason's color is red and the mech is also holding a gun. Tim is the Green one on the bike since Duke will be the Yellow one because Snyder will include him here.
>>153118097Jason's suit looks badass. Dick's looks lame as fuck, lol
>>153118429Since when is time greenAnd who is on the third bike
>>153118720Stephanie
>>153118729Why would she be included
>>153116376bruce just tap out man
>>153118748Because she is a Robin character even if it was just for 5 mins 20 years ago, but everyone has to include her.
>>153118720Jason = Red and the leader probably since the Red one is usually the leader in Power Ranger showsDick = BlueTim = GreenDuke = YellowStephanie = Purple
>>153118777But if you are going by tmnt logic blue is the leader like dick usually is.
>>153118820This isn't TMNT. It is Power Rangers. And in the Power Ranger shows the Red Ranger is usually the leader.
>>153118820Dick is an inexperienced 20 something working as an EMT. He isn't going to be the leader of the Robins here as he has no experience.
>>153118833This isn't power rangers.
>>153117402I thought the whole point was that heroes didn't have the support they have in main earth.
>>153118869What is it then? They are color coordinated team wearing matching suits all going by Robin while using mechs and motorcycles. It's obviously inspired by Super Sentai and similar teams.
>>153118988Then why do only two of them get giant mechs
>>153119023They all probably get mechs but they couldn't all fit on the cover.
Absolute is just anime filler ovas.
>>153116459warhammer is fun to read about though.
>>153119144Broly was never an OVA, those were theatrical releases that had another IP movie attached as a double feature (that's why they're relatively short)
Please be a loli please be a loli...
>>153119242You have Harley for that.
well...a loli can be inside of that thing. And the thing looks pretty cool.
>>153116376Reminds me of Baymax
>>153119253Oh my god.The baby suit.
Isn't it weird that Jason, a guy with the Red Hood Gang ruled under Harley, would join up with Joker?
>>153119513Why is it weird?
>>153117542So Matt Fraction's.
>>153119513I think we are meant to assume Jason is who the Joker adopted here. Like how Bruce did with Dick in the original universe. Jason is going to be as old as Bruce in the Absolute universe probably.
>>153119631>>153119677The Red Hood gang is anti Ark-M and authority
>>153119669How is that remotely like Fraction's run? Not that anon, you're just saying random shit and hoping other casuals parrot with you
>>153119721Fraction's run is a safespace hugbox for snowflakes. It wasn't that deep, anon.
So the owls are doing and smuggling drugs in New Mexico right?
>>153119764Try again, only this time actually elaborate and form a coherent argument that isn't just meaningless buzzwords. How and why? Or are you unable to do that?
>>153119513There's nothing indicating Jason's involved with the Red Hoods in this universe.
>>153116939better than Tynionbetter than Kingbetter than anyone who's written Batman since New 52
>>153120734Mainline or just in general? I think that Dark Patterns is better than Absolute (but I also really liked Black Mirror and some of the stuff Snyder did on New 52) and I quite liked The Adventures Continue and Audio Adventures.Batman & Robin by Tomasi was also as good as Snyder but I think it was running concurrently (it had a Death of the Family crossover)
>>153116939You take comics too seriously.
>>153117402The actual point is>in a world of grimderp, how do the heroes still remain true to themselvesSuperman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are all, largely, recognizable versions of their basic templates. Wonder Woman the closest, Batman the furthers, Superman in the middle, but even Batman is still pretty much just Batman.But in the context of a universe mainlining Darkside juice, their stories seem both more grimderp, but ironically less grimderp because the entire thrust of their stories so far is "they still kind of work as heroes."Fucking, Superman literally redeems Ra's al Ghul by reading to him in his prison cell. They can't even do that in the main, not grimderp universes!Green Lantern, Martian Mind****er, and Flash are a little more esoteric, weird, or boring, but they're basically about genuinely good people dealing with a more fucked up story.
>>153117042I am enjoying other Batman books. The popularity of this stupid shit just confirms that comic book readers have dogshit taste when they get excited for this type of flash over substance shit
>>153121489How is Absolute Flash good? It manages to be more boring than mainline Flash
>Was the most successful and physically attractive of the group>Gets physically and mentally tortured by one of the villains>White long hair and twink like buildThis is the man who will rape Brazilian Selena Kyle just to fuck with Berserk Batman
>>153116376we really are back in the 90s huh
>>153121693i think anon is just saying Flash is still a good PERSON despite being in Darkseid's world, not that the story is good. in fact, i think he's calling Flash the boring one
>>153121693Flash is my favorite one.
>>153117163Nolan reference
>>153116524>*spins bowtie*I PUT THE NEW FORGIS ON THE BEEP
>>153116376T H I C C
>>153117855Well, Dragotta does love his Animes
>>153116376Superheavy 2.0
>>153116376Batfamilyfags don't play about their Robins, I hope this is what makes them finally revolt against the title.
Lame. It should have just been Dick raised by Deathstroke instead of Bruce in this universe.
>>153122818The title is bulletproof. It's going to sell shit loads for years and years.
why even call it "batman" at this point?
>>153122818>>153122829Hoping batfamilyfags revolting is what gets other characterfags and casuals to realize how terrible the Batman fandom is
>>153116376I’ve enjoyed Absolute Bats so far but this just feels like subversion for the sake of subversion. Like, it doesn’t feel like something that happened organically in universe but more a writer in the real world thought ‘wouldn’t it be cool if…’ and I do not like immersion breaks
>>153116464Absolute Batman has been just Snyder reusing a bunch of stuff that he introduced when he was writing the main-universe Batman
>>153116376I stopped reading at the time jonkler was properly introduced, is it worth continuing?
>>153118097Its stupid and retarded but also cool fuck it
>>153117142>>153117288That's exactly what Absolute Batman needed, becoming dronification fetishists
>>153116376>Hollywood Reporter runs an article saying DC has overtaken marvel in market share, has reignited floppy sales with Absolute, and artists working with them are pleased to finally be getting money>couple days later thread full of anons trying to shit on AbsoluteHmmmmm...
>>153116459Warhammer is cool and fun, this is not. Snyder will never be as good as Abnett, or even McNeill.
>>153124395Marvel Interns, they know johns will sabotage his side of the spider man story to elevate DC even more
>>153124395Marvel drones are going apeshit especially Marvel's solutions to this is:a) cancel the Ultimate lineb) start cancelling ongoings after just 5 issuesb) more blindbags
>>153125035>cancel the Ultimate lineThis one is so stupid I can't even laugh.
>>153125315If Absolute is still kicking ass critically and financially by the end of this year I'm half expecting marvel to try to launch another universe more directly ripping off of Absolute by late 2027.
>>153126155Who are they going to delegate it to?-Hickman already did it.-Zdarsky is busy with Avengers and Captain America-Mackay is on X-Men duties-Ewing is on Venom/Knull shitSlott? Simone?
>>153126224Deniz, assuming his unannounced DC book isn't a Batman book
>>153126294Implying he's not gonna sign a semi exclusive dc contract by end of yearAbsolute Martian Manhunter - hit book receiving all the praise that DC is open to more ofShadow of the Bat or Doom PatrolMeanwhile MarvelUltimates and Ultimate Endgame while dealing with Marvel shooting 6160 for no good reason at all
>>153125315They really should've just dropped the time gimmick or at least made it more flexible. All of the pieces were there for a fun modernized reboot but the one month of real time = one month in universe restriction really messed up the flow of the stories after a while.
So, to recap, Absolute Batman has already introduced:>Batman>Bane>Killer Croc>Catwoman>Two-Face>Penguin>Harley Quinn>Joker>Scarecrow >Poison Ivy>Deathstroke >Two Face>Penguin>Riddler>Mr Freeze>Court of Owls>Ra's and Talia (in Absolute Superman)>Dick Grayson>James Gordon>Alfred>Barbara Gordon>Jason Todd>Tim Drake>Stephanie Brown>Duke ThomasAND WE ARE ON ISSUE #20. This is the biggest sign the Absolute Universe is not gonna last because Snyder is clearly just speedruinning introducing as many Absolute versions as possible to squeeze as much money from variant covers as possible. Even Bendis when he wrote USM understood you had to keep some things saved for later which is why it took a while for Venom, Carnage, Black Cat or Mysterio to show up and even then Ultimate died when they ran out of new Ultimate versions to introduce.
>>153121489>Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are all, largely, recognizable versions of their basic templates. Wonder Woman the closest, Batman the furthers, Superman in the middle, but even Batman is still pretty much just Batman.At this rate, Superman's pretty much dropping everything unique about him in this settingEven the dead Kents thing falls flat because Pre-Crisis already did
>>153116939Please someone pitch an "Absolute enjoyer" comicbook.I mean, back before 2017 or 2015 we used to have fun and being funny. How being ABSOLUTE COOL comicbook will be?
