>>153199997>>153200021Took Martha leaving him for the owls rather hard. I'm just glad it wasn't Alfred. Alfred hasn't had time to do stuff.
>>153200039Hell of a way to introduce Absolute Scarecrow, hope he continues to be a right bastard
>>153200021>Mr. GordonI forgot how young this Bruce still is.
Well if images are leaking, I suppose I could spoiler text some stuff not shown
>>153199984Now this is a ghetto storytime!
More like absolute soijak.
>>153200487Neato. May I please ask if they get into what the burnt documents were? Like was Bruce's origin story ("zoo") a set-up? That's all I really want to know. Also if Bruce and Crane meet face to face outside of that window wave?
>>153200487IN the previous issue, Bruce implied he was going to try to up his game after his tussle with Ivy. Do we see any of that here or does Scarecrow just clown on him and Gordon instantly before we get the evil super sentai Robins?
>>153199997The hooks on the cape are cool, but they give me vibes from Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.
Absolute Cringe
oficial and cannonical PSA to rich the leech:DON'T YOU DARE TAKE THIS IMAGES AND PUT A "fooling tool" watermark and uploaded in your crappy website.Also: DON'T you dare take anons teories and post in your crappy website like articles, I am talking about that adam strange theory that you copy from an anon weeks ago, before your digusting articleNUFF' SAID, true believers!
>>153200501A return to ancient tradition.
>>153200069No Damian?
>>153200069Idk of they're planning on an ongoing Absolute Batman, but if they are, they're making one of the biggest mistakes an alternate "fresh" universe can make in speed running all the most iconic characters and events.
>>153200897Why would Damian exist in the Absolute Universe? Has Bruce even met Talia?
Some earlier stuff OP hasn't shown>Batman has a new car, working name, it's double sided, meaning it can drive even when flipped. Kinda like those RC cars. It has a sphere cockpit that can rotate when needed>Red Hood gang can disassemble it under 30 seconds like a pit crew. Seen as such when Bruce drives in an alley to hide it and avoid the GCPD>Harley jokes calling it "The Bat Nasty">Harley is also helping Alfred in the command chair. She set up a network so people can call Batman, similar to The Batman cartoons "Batwave", only its still called the bat signal here.>Bruce and Waylon meet up. Waylon is still scaly, but normal human proportions. Necklace is helping. Waylon wants to help Bruce but Bruce says no.>Bruce is alienating his friends>Flashback of Bruce getting out of prison after fucking over the Falcone bet, mob wants their money back>Imply that Selina's start as Catwoman began to pay off the debt Bruce owed10/10 issue
>>153201204>Batman gets a new car>Joker has some teenagers hunt him down with giant robotsPoor bastard.
>>153200086>manlet Tim>ugly Steph>downs Jason
>>153200050>>153200069>>153200086Why is Snyder introducing all the Robins at the same time? That's a stupid idea. He should have just started with Dick."Deathstroke trains Robin" is a good subversion, obviously riffing on Titans' history, but the only Robin Slade gives a shit about is Dick (and to a lesser extent Damian but he is not here). Mainline Deathstroke doesn't give a shit about Jason or Tim and he probably doesn't even know who Steph or Duke are. This is just more of DC taking traits away from Dick to prop up the other, lesser, Robins.
>>153201791Dickfags are literally think "when my favorite character isn't on panel, everyone should be asking 'where's Dick?'"
>>153201791Why not? Jack Grim in this universe is constantly involved with children, both for humanitarian press and to sustain himself (if that image is to be interpreted correctly). Jack is supposed to parallel mainline Bruce Wayne, so why wouldn't he create a squad of child soldiers to discredit The Batman?
>>153200897Talia's been preoccupied with Superman, why would there even be a Damian? More likely you're going to get a Jon/Damian hybrid if Talia sticks to the Superman side of the Absolute Universe
>>153200050Between this and what Snyder said about Absolute Deathstroke and Absolute Alfred being comparable to Vader and Obi-Wan makes me wonder if he's gonna reveal the equivalent of the Mustafar duel
>>153202321I just pictured Deathstroke's facial hair descending from the ceiling and attaching to his face. But to your point, Alfred doesn't have a great fight track record in this series. Although this could be a good excuse to redeem that
>>153201791>obviously riffing on Titans' historyIt's funny the Teen Titans cartoon convinced people Dick and Deathstroke were ever archenemies, when Slade's archenemy in NTT was actually Beast BoyI agree with you though. Five Robins is a genuinely retarded idea.
>>153202388It works in this context because its a squad being trained from scratch. I'm not even against the family bloat in mainline canon due to how long it took for everyone to trickle in, plus the size of Gotham in general.
>>153201822
>>153200069If I’m reading this right, Tim is Joker’s adopted son and leader of the team?
>>153201822To be fair DC has tried to constantly rip out his history. Didio wanted to make Jason Nightwing post IC and then have Tim create the Titans post New 52. So his fans are annoying but also defensive.
>>153202506He is the guardian of all 5 of them. Though I'm a bit shocked they would have a public hero team and Tim seems to be a minor. How is the public going to react to a child being out there?
>>153202540> He is the guardian of all 5 of them.Is he? Tim’s the only one shown to have Jack (same name as his main universe dad) listed as his parent/guardian and Slade also makes it sound like the team’s leader is the only one to have actually been raised by him. Tim also doesn’t look shocked like everyone else to see the suits.
This Dick Grayson doesn't look like the same one working as an EMT.
>>153202388Yeah the Dick/Deathstroke thing was more post cartoon. With Dick training Rose on Deathstroke's orders and him trying to save her from him, and of course Deathstroke blowing up Bludhaven in IC.
>>153202571I assumed the other 4 are all above 18 and Tim is the only minor, which is why he had to have a guardian listed on the form.
>>153200716If anyone leaks here, they should watermark the shit out of it so that Leech can't steal it to post it on BC
>>153199984Who is the feller on the left
>>153202775Deathstroke
>>153201204What does Scarecrow do in this issue? I was hoping this would be a major showing for him but it seems more focused on setting up Robins for their issue 20 debut
>>153202853Pretty sure he is why gordon killed himself
>>153202853Farmer stunt in the preview, plus scaring Gordon off the roof after he uncovered that file
>>153199984My brother in Christ please buy a scanner.
>>153199997>>153200021for the love of god at least scan it with a scanner/printer
>>153200050METAL GEAR
>>153202592>and of course Deathstroke blowing up Bludhaven in IC.That's an odd one, because DC doesn't really treat it as canon anymore.Sure, Blüdhaven being destroyed comes up from time to time (Watters referenced it), but it feels hollow given Blüdhaven is still around. And nobody ever acknowledges it when they are writing Deathstroke, even when it's Deathstroke vs the Titans.
>>153199984Did the issue get released already or are these scans of a preview? >>153200086 also looks like the Joker Robin squad thing ended up being true. Not much of a surprise there. Shame it looks like Gordon may have gotten splatted though. I kind of liked him already knowing Bruce was Batman and where that could go.
>>153200050What did Joker do to you Slade
>>153201204>it can drive even when flipped like those RC carsI cannot fucking wait for Batman to pull out one of these and tear through Gotham.
>>153204547Snyder's comments comparing Slade and Alfred to Anakin and Obi-Wan have made it sound like Alfred's responsible for mutilating him.
Slade got turned into a terminator to save his life and keep him around as Joker's top killer. If he's Anakin/Vader then this dude hates his life.
>>153204547>>153205829>>153205845I can't believe Slade lost the high ground to Alfred. Even Darkseid can't prevent that, it seems.
>>153201204The disassembling thing sounds really funny in action.
>>153200021>That poseGordon will be back as Absolute Starro
>>153204556>>153207667The design is a sphere cockpit, a simple metal frame, a pilot (aka a cattle catcher), and a rear spoiler. The pilot and spoiler are identical, metal bat-logos that can can become the other should the vehicle be flipped.
>>153200086Joker pushed jasons soft spot in when he was a baby
>>153204547He told Slade about the tragedy of Darth Plagueis
>>153201204>Bruce and Waylon meet up. Waylon is still scaly, but normal human proportions. Necklace is helping.Last time we saw him I thought it looked the opposite. Human skin but hulk-sized.
>>153208455Waylon was always hulk sized. Dude had a similar build as Bruce and we know Bruce is fucking 6'9".
>>153209533Kek Oz is great why the fuck did Snyder pulp the guy 11 issues in
>>153200069>>153200086Why do they keep drawing Damian and calling him Tim?
>>153209620They can't do Damian lol.
>>153200086>Captain GraysonJasonfags who thought Jason would be the leader BTFO
>>153209620>>153209638BTAS had a younger Tim
>>153202388Gar ultimately agreed that Slade was a better person than the 14 year old girl he raped, so not really.
>>153200050>>153200069>>153200086Joker bringing out Darth Vader and the Super Sentai against Batman huh
>>153200050So he's a triple amputee who's whole face is prosthetic. Brutal. Joker could have at least given him a mech suit or something.
>>153200021>>153200039What a huge waste if it's not a fake-out
>>153202388Ask me how I know you never actually read the comics.Deathstroke and Beast Boy bonded over getting fucked by Terra and were literally best friends by 1985.Dick and Deathstroke were enemies that tolerated each other because they both cared about Joey.That all went out the window after Titans Hunt.
>>153211783That’s because Wolfman’s self insert was Slade. He couldn’t have his super cool self insert be an irredeemable pedophile, so he wrote it in a way that Tara was the real evil one that manipulated Slade, and that he was scared of her.
