>>155002094WtfMan with a bat?
>>155002107Perhaps you could even say he is a bat man
And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.
>>155002067All I can hear while looking at this cover is a more aggressive version of Josh Ruben's 100 Batmans impression
>>155002105>>155002109>Scarecrow has literally gaslit Bruce into schizophrenia Holy fucking based. Also, heartwarming to see the gang trying to help Bruce
>>155002159>>155002164THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING GAY DRAKEYOU FUCKING DIE IN THE BEST BATMAN COMIC OF 2020SBASED SNYDER HAS DONE IT AGAINHIT THE BAT CONFETTI CANNONS
>>155002185>gets ambushed from behind while taking a picture of Batman tied up>thinks it's Batman that did itIs Jason retarded?
>>155002291Yes and thats why we love him
>>155002115>Bruce my brain was punched out of my skull so I can obsess over riddles and even I think this is too farI love it
>>155002123Damn, I actually didn't expect anything in this ridiculous shitshow to actually hit like that first line of panels
>>155002158Dick's in last place, Tim is the most popular.
>>155002287i still wish we got to see more of Crane, but it's cool that he's basically ruining Bruce's life from the background without needing to be up in the front
>>155002344Yeah I can't read. All I can do is delete my post in shame.
with TIm out of the picture, it's now absolute steph/cass hours
>>155002072So is everyone in this issue going to end up being Clayface?
>>155002099>>155002105Harvey dressing like this is the most retarded thing in this comic
>>155002413no one can make the man-bun work
>>155002094Absolute Tung Tung Tung Sahur
>>155002400More like Steph/Duke hours
The Robins are a complete waste in this series. What was Snyder thinking? They've barely done anything and now one is "dead". It is obvious Tim will be brought back given how Snyder is rushing through so many Batman stories though
>>155002159>>155002164>art is so trash i can't even tell who it isKek
>>155002558Felt like he introduced a bunch of shit all at once and is rushing all of a sudden for some reason
>>155002152Absolute Clayface is pure kino
At this rate absolute batman is just berserk, anx he is losing just like guts
Please have the rogues be the bat family, I will be so fucking angry if they all hate each other based on misunderstanding bullshit.
Hope Tim dies in the mainline universe tooRiddler beating him to death with a giant question mark-shaped crowbar would be cool
>>155002533Duke is there only because hes snyders creationNobody cares about signalAsk anyone on the street if signal is their favourite batman sidekick and they will ask who and pepper spray you
>>155002734>The Bat-Signal is a sidekick?
>>155002779My thoughts when he got name and costume
>>155002734Duke is Snyder’s favorite, and with Tim gone, Steph will end up with Duke.
>>155002834ENOUGH WITH THE RACE MIXING IN MEDIA
>>155002099I always love seeing Bruce brood in the cave with everything on but the cowl, in any universe.
>>155002344Ha, it's the voting all over again. People voted for Tim the most, so he dies first.
Absolute Scarecrow is the scariest guy I've ever seen. Just pure gaslighting until Bruce tries to crush his own mother's skull.
>>155002123Great page. Batman snapping at his own mother is something that I never expected in any book
>>155002413>>155002433I'm not a fan of boneless Penguin., but manbun Two-Face isn't much better.
Timmygods...
>>155002834Duke will end up dead along with stephJason and Grayson manage to escape after team robin gets liquidated by deathstroke to cover his tracks and add extra fuel to batman hate
>>155002959You've said that about bane alfred,not everyone can the scariest guy you've ever met
>>155002149God they're retarded
>>155002076Why is Stephanie grossed out. Is she gay or something
>>155003149Hes meeting a lot of new, and scarier, people lately. It happens to older British folk.
>>155003190Two possibilities. 1) Porn lied to you and only men like looking at dicks. 2) Dick's dick is gross to look at.
>>155003149>everyone can the scariest guy you've ever metI used to think that way, then I read Absolute Batman
>>155002191Absolute Matches Malone?
>>155002164I mean…they both sorta did
>>155003326His foreskin is split in two from botched circumcisionIts split in two and flaps like wingsThats why they call him nightwing
>>155002076Dick Grayson, sexualized in every universe
>>155003410Yeah,he deadMr freeze exploded ancient fungus out of his pores and then wendigoed into the night
>>155002076Steph, your rack is the multiverse's constant as decreed by Darkseid.
>>155003410yeah, he showed up earlier too, he was friends with bruce and the rest of them
>>155003457The best part of absolute verse is that you remember that its all according to darkseids designHe made batman bigger and had him suffer more,he made all women hot and big titted and finally his magnum opusHe gave superman fat ass and had him make out with a guy in the streets after being beaten to into near deathAll of this leads me to conclude that darkseid hates faggots and loves titsBased
>>155002164If not for the glasses, I'd have thought it was Jason.
>>155002185retard brainlet >>155002152
>>155002115>Fucking riddler of all people is telling Bruce he's too far goneLmao
Hot damn, Darkseid hates Batman. Bruce has to be influenced by whatever this world's version of fear toxin is, right? No way he gets to the point of threatening Martha just by being fed bullshit. Also, I hope Snyder isn't having Batbara swoop in to save the day when everyone else failed.
>>155002164Thats a lot of armsI wonder if clayface is made out of multiple peopleYou need a lot of processing power to not only change shape but to transform between shapes and colors
>>155003709There is no fear toxinScarecrow is just that fucking goodHe uses toxin for quick moves but his specialty is being expert in psychological warfare that fucks with your mind
>>155003593It’s funny how Darkseid tries to make everything as dark and edgy as possible, yet his Jason is way less dark than the main Jason.
>>155002109Scarecrow did so much more damage to Bruce than Bane ever did.
>>155003758For now Besides only thing you can do with jason is skipping the lazarus pit and making him a frankensteins monster
>>155003790Will Bruce kill him in the end? Will he get the chance to? Can he?
>>155002185Can Scarecrow go an issue without aura farming
>>155002287I like that its a version of the old Adam West style massive leaps of logic that shows this off too.
>>155003740>There is no fear toxin>He made that shit up>He is just good at making people go crazy> not even paid, he does it for the love of the game
>>155003910No. He looks like that bro, how can he not aura farm.
>>155003910No,aura farming is one of the forces that make this universe workTheres also bat truck and I forgot other two>>155003959It would be so fucking funny
>>155002115I love even Riddler noticing Bruce's schizo power has grown far out of control.
>>155003790Bane broke Bruce's friends, Scarecrow is breaking the Bat's mind. A double whammy of shit he's going through.
>>155002091Aw, I kind of hope Harley comes back to being Batman's Robin soon. She was cute being the foil to his hard assness.
>>155002291They don't exactly pick the smartest people to join the Robin program it seems.
>>155002291You gotta aurafarm YOU GOTTAHe just didnt know it was clayface aura farming and not him
>>155002433I get why he's doing it. Like the long hair he's got hides the personality of Two Face that's not in control at that moment, and his hair tied up is showing that both halves are united in what they're doing right now. But yeah, man bun is not his best look.

What happened to Scott Snyder between Batkek and this series? Was having free reign to do whatever he wants all he really needed?
>>155002129>>155002136>>155002142>>155002149>>155002152Every part of this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
>>155004993You could say this was absolutely retarded.
>>155002123>Scarecrow mind breaking Bruce into attacking his mom out of schizophrenia
>>155004117Harley is being pissy because Bruce is off his meds but she's clearly his main sidekick and will be back on the team eventually, Snyder wouldn't have told the papa Joker story already in that case
>>155005411For you its kinoFor me its also kino Diffrence is that you're gay and Im not
>>155004959He got free time,spent it with his kids and they shown him berserkOzzy will rape selina to get his body back in order and she will turn cute and retarded
>>155005294The pacing makes it feel even dumber than it already is
>>155003910I thought that was Clayface
>copy Berserk>win
>>155005734No clayface went into the sewer and scarecrow has his text balloons and the crow it's him aura farmingAgain
>>155005411I can't imagine how regular Bruce would react to seeing Absolute Bruce do something like this. I like the emphasis on him cutting off Clayface's batman head, too. He's losing every bit of himself, even his moral code at this point. It's gonna be really satisfying to see Bruce go all out in #25 and lose hard enough to start the next arc. His friends and mom having to train him and bring him back stronger is gonna be real satisfying to watch. I'm also glad they threw Pennyworth a bone again with the bit of plot about his family. It's been a while but I'm glad we get more of it. Where the fuck did his mom come from though?
>>155005927His mom is a big mystery bag full of what the fucks at this point.
>>155002109I haven't been keeping up, Waylon's normal again?
>>155006047Magic amulet from wonder woman obtained after a quest
>>155002159>>155002164RIP little baby bird.
I just realized the robin popularity poll was a reference to the jason death poll and tim won fuck I'm dumb
>>155006073Nice, ty anon
Seeing thst this bruce is meeting our bruce.I guess he is telling him how to act against darkseid.
>>155006047It's kind of covered in the Absolute Batman/Wonder Woman crossovers and subsequent Waylon appearances
>>155002164Most useless Robin down ripbozo
>>155002099I thought they went full crazy some issues ago and now they are batfamily? isnt harvey killing a shit ton of people? shouldnt be put in prison by Batman? they are really not consistent with this shit.
>>155004226achievable natty?
>>155006460Only with power of ChristYou unironically need to pray for your everything to not explode mid lift
>>155002149I'm guessing that's a video call, and Dick can see Clayface in the back.
>>155006910Nah. With that subpar writing, that video is never getting a mention. It was there for the joke and so this scene could happens.
>>155006026If she ends up having a big exposition issue like Harley did, I'll be happy. So far, every Absolute comic seems to be running into their big problem. The gods are about to hit Diana hard, Wally has been building up threat after threat that will catch up to him soon, Supes is trying his best to befriend everybody but lives in a world of douchebags, and Green Lantern....well, it's doing something. It having a proper Lantern Corps for the protags now and the spies still doing spy stuff is fun, but Ewing needs to work on how to give meaningful conclusions to arcs.
Is there sttil gonna be a big event at the end of the year or did they move that?
>>155007270delayed it to 2027Instead we're getting the Batman of Two Worlds special soon which apparently has a surprise in it that retailers are forced to sign an NDA over
>>155007293Mainline Bruce renounces Christianity and uses deadly force for the first timeIt's the Batman version of Superman renouncing his American citizenship
>>155007293>apparently has a surprise in it that retailers are forced to sign an NDA overJoker meets Absolute Joker
>>155002076Big Power Rangers dynamic. You even have the leader as the "boring one"
>>155006910Should be. But there's every chance somehow Scarecrow fucks with that too.
>>155007293>>155007270Man I hope they don't fuck this up.
>>155002185This barefoot fucker managed to break Bruce by simply gaslighting him.Amazing
>>155007753Well a Superman event just started today and a Gotham event is getting started at the end of the month. Maybe the status quo will be a different for the mainline/absolute event. We will see!
>>155007293Mainline Tim jumps ship to the Absolute Universe (he takes Bernard with him too)
>>155007834>Superman event just started todayYou mean for mainline, right?
Let me get this straight.People voted Tim as the most popular character. So because the Absolute Universe IS Darkseid, reality leans to Darkseid's will (When you scream in your dreams is DARKSEID what you see).
>>155008093Yes, Kingdom of Zod in Supergirl and Action Comics. Then the upcoming Gotham event is Bad Seeds, stemming from Ivy being the mayor.
>People voted for Tim>He gets killedI see what you did there.
>>155008347i voted for cass
Poor lil' Timmy couldn't handle the Big Clay Cock
>>155002164Imagine being a Tim Drake fan.
>>155008445shut up faggot
>>155008472I look down and whisper "no"
>>155002126>schizo Bruce also makes Scarecrow's face out of his own collageThis must be the work of the Joker!
>>155008491save me niggerman
>>155007834I gotta check the catalog to see if the DC storytimers came back. I loved reading through Primetime and I'm grabbing the TPB.
>>155008503I just noticed that, that's grand
>>155008598There's two storytime threads, one here, and the other is the mentioned Supergirl/Action Comics. Batman & Robin Year One: Dynamic Duos is out today. I don't really feel like doing a storytime but I think I will for that.
>>155002126Did Martha know Bruce was Batman before? She's been out of the story for ages I forgot what was happening with her outside of her being in the Court of Owls
>>155008693She said she suspected it, so I think she probably didn't know for sure.
>>155002115am i missing something or are they not going to explain what went down with Martha and the Owls back in issue 18
>>155009036I'm pretty sure they will explain that anon
>>155009036She tanked the bullet with her strong mommy muscles.
>>155003457What rack. There's nothing there
>>155008347Was there an actual vote irl or what
>>155002126>Scarecrow living so rent free in Bruce's mind that even his conspiracy board is in scarecrows face Lmao
>>155002167its still funny that somehow nobody can recognize bruce with a mask on even though hes like twice the size of everyone else
>>155009202That was all part of his master plan. Bruce spent some time on Scarecrow's geographic scheming. Clearly he made it into a big mean smiley face on purpose.
>>155008598>>155008635I did B&R, it's in the catalog.
>>155009443Thanks, anon
>>155009633It's a fun read, give the thread a bump if you like it!
The art in this blows ass.
>>155009692wrong
>>155009692I think not
Do you guys think the show will be as good as the comic?
>>155010188>CGINo
>>155010188it's gonna be bad
>>155010225It's being made by Snyder and Dragotta, so it can't be that much worse.
>>155009692
>>155009036misdirection, the owl that shot was shooting the one that was about to shoot her
does grimm have access to miraclo?
>>155010890It's likely just a couple of phone calls away.
Hello Babs
>>155011326
>>155011350the thigh belt is so ridiculous, i don't know why they keep adding those to costumes
>>155011326this is the only time she has looked attractive
>>155002164And nothing of value was lost.
Darkseid’s not actually involved in the story you retards that’s flavor text
Babs looks so awful. Why did they make her a muscle freak?
>>155009692It's mostly fine. Absolute Wonder Woman was the one with really weirdly janky art from issue to issue.
>>155011713I feel like Dragotta is really good at action, but his people have really funky faces when they're just talking.
>>155011619The universe is made of Darkseid.
>>155002631All the robins look like the same person except Stephanie. >>155002921Oh I get the joke now
>>155011629Because the atmosphere produces more oxygen on this earth and some haplogroups tend to create more mass.
>>155011629Gotta cope with grief somehow.
>>155004959Are you implying that those two things are significantly different or something? Absolute caught on almost purely because of the art, they have retarded writing.
>>155011326>>155011350She's so cool, holy shit. I can only hope that Dick gets an actually cool outfit when he goes Nightwing
>>155002105MEDS
>>155003882Rather Jason become like Martian Manhunter under John Ostrander and have multiple alter egos based on the Outlaws >>White face paint and a Superman outfit as Bizarro>>Purple outfit and crossbow as Arsenal>>And two drag outfits so he can pretend to be an alien princess (Starfire) And an Amazon (Artemis)
>>155002109He is out of his fucking mind!
>>155009036I don't really understand what the Absolute Owls are. They're some kind of underground organization, Joker doesn't like them, is that all we know?
>>155002107No way. That'll never workout.
>>155013063Pretty much, yeah. We don't know much about them but that. Maybe if Batman stops schizo-ing out and trying to punch his mom and everyone else she'll finally explain things. Or maybe Slade or Alfred will.
>Scarecrow gaslighting Bruce into complete insanity>insanity is portrayed as Adam West deductions>Bruce's friends>Bruce threatening his own mother>the horror portrayal of Clayface and his dialogue>Scarecrow aura farming>Matches being used again>Alfred's daughterImmaculate issue, easily one of the strongest of the entire run.
>>155006148That's fucking ace
>>155013063One of the underground organizations that existed but got wiped by Joker. He kind of hit a ton of underground organizations, thinking about it. Cass' got hit, a bunch got funneled into Arks, Joker really wants the whole pie
>>155013143When Scarecrow isn't in the issue, people ask "Where is Scarecrow?"
>>155002105>>155002109>>155002115>>155002123>What no Selina pussy for weeks does to a mf
>>155013063Like how the court ow owls in the main universe is a bunch of rich people trying to stay rich this is a bunch of por people forming a resistance against grimm
>>155013271I'll ask a question about Scarecrow. Should Scarecrow die? At this point the only major villain who appears to have died is Black Mask. Everyone else has survived, even Bane. Must Scarecrow die? I ask not out of moral concerns, but simple storytelling necessity. He's been the most dangerous of Joker's minions by far, and seems even more vital to his operations than Bane was. Is Scarecrow simply too dangerous to live? Must Scarecrow die simply because keeping him around would be too dangerous for Bruce and the cast to handle?
>>155013143>>155002067The speculations and fan theories that absolute Damian Wayne will be main Robin seems more likely after Tim Drake death?
>>155013814A lot has to happen before Damian can even exist.
>>155002413His entire look is based off the animated series but I have no idea why they would do that instead of make him look more monstrous
