I’m convinced that the AI suit is gonna be a Kryptonian Venom version of Eradicator at some point. That helmet we see in the flashback just LOOKS evil. Also if the rich Kryptonians escaped, then I bet Zod was among them. Possibly Kara too, considering that Jor-El was born into the upper class and his brother Zor-El may not have been kicked out of it. That would be a very interesting dynamic.
I had that exact thought seeing Lara in the full suit, but then it was pointed out to me that Lara also wore the visor in a previous issue -- I'd say a simulacrum of her personality made by Sol is gonna be the thing.
@@TimPoultney That's actually an interesting thought, especially given how it can tie into being a version of the main Clark's hologram of his father that's in the fortress too
Agreed, Joel, I have never found myself so engrossed in this version of Superman's origin story, and how his parents are not only alive, but also revolutionaries themselves
I gotta admit this absolute Superman origin is super interesting that I am very excited to see if Superman parents survived the destruction of krypton.
It's nice to see an honest review.I actually had saw this guy called critical thinker called absolute superman, trash and his parents were terrible, and it's nice to know by looking at your review, that wasn't true and that do was just exaggerating
Let me guess, Wes from Thinking Critical? Lately the guy and his channel have become 'Thinking CYNICAL', and to think I once watched his channel loyally
I’m guessing he landed in small ville like the Kent’s but it seems like in this world the government found out about him and he had to go on the run so she didn’t officially adopt him but still considering him a son
I thought the zeros were the symbols for the side. I kind of forgot what his thing looks like, but it looks like a Z. Also, I’m surprised that they didn’t show anything of Supergirl and her family.
I like how in dark sides absolute universe both Batman and wonder women mostly have there same ability’s plus some new ones due to there origin changes but I seems like dark side deliberately nurfed Superman cuz it seems that he can’t absorb solar energy on his own it needs to be filtered through the suit and contained and also this Superman ha a more skinny Nightwing athletic swimmers body rather then being jacked like a bodybuilder like main universe Superman
I don't think he's particularly nerfed....I just think events have been shifted enough to have a Superman not at his full potential. Firstly compared to the average Superman who arrives as a mere toddler or even infant, This version arrives as a young teen. Supes normally spends about thirty years absorbing solar radiation and understanding his skillset before becoming a superhero. Absolute Superman essentially only has about 10 or less years absorbing said solar radiation..... while spending a significant amount of time on the run and hiding from the lazarus corp. Also I believe that Sol might be limiting or restricting certain abilities that Superman hasn't mastered yet. Thus in my case it's his circumstances that make this Superman weaker rather than a nerf.
@michaelharmon8960 Firstly she's rarely ever shown that potential. In most stories she's worfed to give stakes to a big climatic battle. The way I've always seen it, She simply has a smaller gas tank than Superman....meaning that in fights she's usually the first to "run out of battery" and get folded. And anyhow in the most recent origin didn't she spend years circling the sun before landing on earth? That was the reason they gave for her potential last I checked.
I know dude I’m not arguing with you I’m the synopsis for this universe is that this new universe runs on dark sides energy meaning truth justice and hope are the underdogs that’s why Batman 🦇 is a broke mid20s city worker and wonder women is a barbarian queen rather then an Amazonian princess dark side deliberately altered there origins in an attempt to make them weaker
I'm glad that this issue confirmed that Krypto is the bestest boi in every universe.
As he always should be.
Indeed. Especially on the heels of the James Gunn Superman movie trailer showing our very 1st look of live action Krypto

Lara shows why she is a super mom that this Superman is glad to have.

I've never been a big fan of the Z symbol for Zod, but I had never thought of it being a symbol for Black Zero! That'd be a fun twist!
Lara was standing on business 😮💨
This is the only comic I've been reading recently.
Awesome story. I hope we get an animation of this someday in the future.
Have there been any duds in the DC Absolute line? Everything Joel is reviewing seems really strong!
Kudos to all these writers!
None so far. Which is great!

That symbol on the science league's chest reminds me of Zod's symbol.
Same here. I wouldn't be surprised if this universe's version of Zod is a high ranking scientist rather than a military dictator and general
I thought the zeros were the symbols for the side. I kind of forgot what his thing looks like, but it looks like a Z. Also, I’m surprised that they didn’t show anything of Supergirl and her family.
90% sure that the Els landed in Kansas and became the Kents. I also think kryptonians don’t get powers from the sun in this universe.
It's Zod's symbol

Supergirl landed on earth when she was 16 and it’s stated that she has the potential to be stronger then Superman

You mean she means business!!!
