is absolute Batman actually good or is just another "Hype moments and aura" comic?
>>
>>155898315
Hyps moments and aura but the plot is fine
>>
>>155898315
It's pretty decent
>>
>>155898315
hype moments and aura, don’t bother

>>155898315
It's "Batman, but what if he poor", which isn't that interesting, since we already have Daredevil for that.
>>
>>155898315
The entire Absolute line is good, /co/ is just painfully contrarian its a detriment to the whole board. Don't believe me? Turbofags are so constantly online here to ruin any non cartoon discussion that we're not doubling up on story time threads
>>
>>155898617
It's not even that, they gave up on the "Batman is poor" angle after like 2 issues since it never impacts the story at all. Now it's just "Batman but he is constantly suffering"
>>
>>155898315

it's a cape comic mainline batman has done far more unbelievable shit, your just nitpicking because you want to hate new popular thing

It's politically woke and reddit, so reddit antifa types shill it. It's literally just political.
>>
>>155898315
Absolute Batman #1 came out on October 9, 2024, so it's been almost exactly two years and it's hotter than ever. That's a pretty strong argument against it being just "Hype moments and aura". That's true of the entire Absolute line, it's just been getting more popular.

He's supposed to be "working class" despite having all the typical tech you'd expect from batman and then some. He's a construction worker that somehow built numerous secret headquarters inside several skyscrapers across Gotham.
He mutilates people and uses an axe and shrapnel shotgun despite still claiming a no kill rule.
It's treated like he suffers more than the main Batman because he's not rich but he's still effectively rich due to all of the super-science he affords to develop and his mother is alive and well.
Bruce is drawn like a fat downie sometimes.
Like all Absolute stories, it's full of modern politics and distortions of reality. (Criminals are notably white and not even like Italian mobsters. White supremacist gangs are treated as a common issue while black and Hispanic gangs are nonexistent.)
These stories also do the "What if we make original characters but give them other character's name" thing we've seen a thousand times like with Tangent and "Just Imagine!"
Characters are just thrown around with all their soul and history removed. Like the Robins are just an organization where Jason, Tim, Stephanie, and Duke are all peers and Dick is their leader. I genuinely don't understand how people claim to be fans of characters but cheer when everything about them short of their names and aspects of their visual design are stripped away. Their personalities, story arcs, and relationships to other characters are all changed.

You anti-woke faggots are exactly as tiresome as the woke shit you drone on about.

>Their personalities, story arcs, and relationships to other characters are all changed.

Well, yeah, that's the entire point.

You like reading comics where they pretend the greatest threat to civilians are Neo-Nazis? Sorry, but I've seen a million security camera videos of blacks pushing old people in front of trains, stabbing random people, hitting random people over the head with bricks, just being absolute menaces. I can't suspend my disbelief and pretend the real criminals are people like me who don't want to live in a society where we allow murderers and muggers to walk free just because jailing them would be racist.

That story literally ends with Bruce looking small and distraught for not living up to his father's words. The priest character also mentions some outside force has been intentionally stoking negativity and leading boys and men to dark places. Do you even read the comics you complain about or did you just get all your opinions from outrage farmer e-celebs complaining about a single page for clicks? You are pickling your brain with outrage bait from third world content farms and now projecting that to all your media consumption and it's a damn shame that there doesn't seem to be any way to help you out of this hole.

AB is indeed a terrible comic and it's written by a WHITE man starring a WHITE man. So, stop pretending that there's some kind of agenda against you.
>>
>>155902658
>dude, you've got a White hero who hates White people, whybaren't you happy?
Because I'm not a self-hatijg faggot like the guy writing the comic. I'm guessing you're black since you're defending anti-White crap, you know that term you have called "coon" or "cooning" when a black guy is being anti-black to please White people, well that's what the writer of Absolute Batman is doing, but the other way around. No White person who doesn't hage themselves could ever enjoy this White coonery.
>>
So is Absolute Wonder Woman ever going to scissor Absolute Zatanna or will DC chicken out and leave that tension unresolved?
>>
>>155901399
The real difference between Abs and regular Bats is that he never had a period of globetrotting and learning infinity crimefighting skills from the best teachers.

>evil is stored in the ass

>>155902739
The best way to describe Absolute Batman is a blunt instrument whereas mainline Batman is a scalpel. Absolute Bruce is more anger and fury while mainline is more subtly and discipline. The problem is that /co/, especially the retard above, only focuses on the money difference
>>
>>155899256
Agreed, total Decent Human Being death
>>155899271

>>
>>155902721
Yeah, Snyder totally is "self hating" and it's proven by his obsession with Batman (a white character). And btw, it might come as a breaking news to you, but white men are capable of evil.

I've seen people say this is about gnosticism because Darkseid is the demiurge but then they backpedal and say "uhhhh nooooo the world is good actually just do tikkun olam goyim"

DC fans and their writers are actual midwits
>>

>the world is good actually just do tikkun olam
can anyone translate this gibberish
>>
>>155902739
Yeah, instead his parents are straight up talons of the court of owls and he has been secretly conditioned from birth to be the greatest mutant and strongest warrior to ever live. Abs batman is just damian again.
>>

You mean Batman or Absolute in general?

How does this contradict the fact that the story treats Neo-Nazi gangs as a serious issue while ignoring realistic depictions of crime? How does Darkseid making the universe render the political messages useless?
>>
>>155902829
You're not White, so just stop telling White people how they should feel and what they should think. It's not complicated. Mind your business.
>>
>>155902887
No, you don't get it, there's an in-universe reason to do the plot point the writer chose to do about making White people the ultimate evil that Darkseid could manifest, that makes it not woke!
>>
>>155902892
Everytime without fail.
>>
>>155898315
Its Batman but I dont have to worry about dumb tourist complaining about him being a billionaire
>>
>>155902887
I dont think the plot itself considers neonazis to be a serious issue in absolute. If nazis were ever a serious issue then there wouldnt be a diverse gotham. Centuries of established pro-white racism wouldnt mean that someone hates selena for being black and cass for being asian, it means there wouldnt be selena or cass. If anything, the plot implies that Darkseid and the Joker made a world that enforced diversity against the feeble resistance of a population that didnt desire it.
>>
>>155902908
Most of the so called "elites" who responsible for a lot of evil in out world are white.
>>
>>155898315
I'm a huge DC hater but seeing Nick Dragotta go from East of West to a massively popular Batman comic is pretty cool.
>>
>>155902955
Woah, no way dude! That's crazy! Guess we need to push random middle class White people in front of trains, that will show those evil elites who live in gated mansions and fly on private planes with private security around them at all hours.
>>
>>155903137
You really have no point and just want to be a victim.
>>

Id rather not be a victim of billionaires, is there a place i can sign up for that? I just to go in to the billionaires club and prove i also have white skin, and i can stop paying 1k for doctors visits, right?

There's a page where Alfred describes Bruce as "Batman AF." Why don't you tell me.
>>
>>155903212
Like I said, you have no point. You were whining that AB is "anti-white" because it dared to show white men committing crimes because this apparently is "unrealistic" to you. You just want to feel victimized.

People who complain about Neo-Nazis in real life live in overly diverse areas. Are argument is naive at best.
>>
>>155903270
It is unrealistic. Are you aware of reality? Can you name a white identarian group with higher membership than the block party on east 9th street in houston?
>>
>>155903194
No. I want the cis heterosexual white male privilege that was promised to me by the left, the alphabet soup groups, and ethnics.
>>
>>155903270
I don't care if a comic has White men being criminals, if their crimes are anything other than being White Nationalists. Wanting to live around your own people is not a real crime, and White Nationalists don't go around lynching people, all they want to do is live by themselves, they're not villians, and you're all sick fucks for punching them while they're down.
>>

A few posts later...
>There's nothing woke about Batman killing Neo-Nazis and the ultimate evil that Darkseid can manifest being Neo-Nazis, fuck White people!
It's all so tiresome.

They should have Absolute Batman beat up the Cornell 7, but make sure they're all blonde haired blue eyed White kids instead of an Asian, an Arab, and two black kids.

How would you interpret this part? Have you even seen these panels before? It's okay if you haven't. You can be honest here. We're all anonymous. You don't need to come up with a greentext strawman to save face. It's also okay if you think the Joker is cool and aspirational.

Notice how the shitposter has to reach hard for pol nonsense to talk shit on Absolute

>justify your bigotry aren't you
That honestly got a laugh out of me. The lack of self-awareness.
>>
>>155903562
What do you think this panel says? The comic is saying that White Nationalism, White teenagers wanting to hang out with each other instead of being isolated and alone, or sucking black penises and speaking Spanish, is not only evil, but cosmically evil, metaphysically evil. This is a choice by Scott Snyder to loudly exclaim his plotical perspective through the rules and lore of a comic he is writing.

Why would you think any of that is not anti-White? Are you braindead?
>>
>>155903589
>hurrr, I can't be a bigot, only White people can be bigots!
Fucking kill yourself, dude. You suck.

I'm pretty sure he built it after getting a bunch of money from Black Mask by promising to leave him alone or something like that.

Have you read about Hindu mythology? It’s ripe fruit for capeshit stories, even the real life figures like Shivaji would make great cape heroes and villains
