I really hope that by the end of the Absolute comics' runs, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman form an Absolute Justice League to try and make their world a better place.
Given that 'Absolute Flash' , 'Absolute Green Lantern' and 'Absolute Martian Manhunter' are all confirmed, an 'Absolute Justice League' feels inevitable.
I'm so glad with this comics, while technically having a darker feel (courtesy of Darkseid), it doesn't feel like edgy nonsense. It's very interesting to see the characters in a new light and with a new origin, but their core seems to be intact. Which may be a pretty good metaphor, no matter how hard people like Darkside try, there will always be heroes willing to help those in need.
Something I really like about Absolute Superman so far is how they're embracing an aspect of Superman from the Golden Age comics, where he was a champion to the oppressed, someone who used to beat down abusive corrupt bosses and domestic abusers. This Superman going up against the Lazurus Corporation and the Peacemaker soldiers to protect the wellbeing of these lower-class Brazilian miners is really in character for Superman going back to the routes of the character, even if he's more realistically brutal in this incarnation. It's also refreshingly nice to see Superman and Batman grow up with their birth parents (even though Absolute Batman lost his father, his mother is still alive and well). BTW the reveal of Lois Lane as a soldier for Lazuruz had my jaw drop and caught me off guard, so Im excited how they will develop her in the series and explore her dynamic with this Superman, whether they end up as lovers or not? Not to mention, Im excited to see this new take on Brainiac, who seems more grounded and less of an alien conquerer and seems more like a human infected with some techno virus, making him into Brainiac (possibly Lex Luthor?)
I think it would be interesting, and quite dark, if Rahs in this world died long long ago, but that his successors misused his legacy to create Lazarus Corp. A bit of an "out there" idea, but it'd be neat.
I love this version of Superman if you think about thay have combined the el family and the Kent family with this version of his parents! Also I love this Lois Lane and I can't wait to see what lex luthor is like in this universe!
@@MarvelKnight-tw9hb I think it would be interesting to do a kid Lex Luthor. A prodigy who has the ability to use his intellect to make the world a better place, but is tempted by powerful people to use his mind for the wrong reasons.
What I'm more surprised with is how much I love the logo because usually whenever they make an alternate Superman, they tend to make the logo much more jagged and distantly different than an actual S, but I really love how it looks. I don't love whenever they make it two different like the Kingdom Come. Honestly my least favourite symbol might be the Batman Beyond one, because I always thought as a kid that it barely looked like an S.
This version of Superman represents the immigrant ideal far better than the mainline one ever did. You can already tell that Abs will have to fight for acceptance and a place in this world, while regular Superman was practically handed it on a silver platter.
He was not handed everything, but he does have it easier than other immigrants introduced in comics. Superman is a conventional white man, and he was never found out to be an alien. Only in certain comics, and it's when he's superman. He grew up in America and had no obstacles, at least externally , living in America. Superman, especially since he's an American icon, struggles with showing the immigrant experience nowadays. He still represents it, second generation. But this time, he is a first generation immigrant. @tayojones9460

Gotta say I’m loving this so far, and from what I have heard Karl is supposed to be last kryptonian in universe which makes me interested in how they are going to do supergirl and general zod, if they do them at all.
Actually 🤓, in his inception the "Peacemaker" was a military project to create super soldiers but the project failed due to the process of creating the peacemakers made the subjects mentally unstable, Christopher Smith was the only "successful" creation and was still deamed unusable due to him developing schizophrenia. It just seems like the got the original idea and succeeded with braniacs tech
A parallel that I enjoy is that in one the early comics, Superman willingly trapped a shady mine owner in his own mine to make him realize how dangerous the working conditions where in there. I wanna read this absolute superman as a nod to this comics in particular
Interesting seeing Lara be a working class gal here. Jor-El's predicament reminds me of the "For the Man Who Has Everything" comic, meanwhile. 2:18: Some would deem that a Canon Event. 2:21: Kriff, not another Coruscant. I'd rather live on Naboo, despite that being Palpatine's homeworld. Why does Lazarus Corp. remind me of Batman: Arkham's TYGER? If Ra's al Ghul is involved, I bet he's doing false flag ops that'll make the downtrodden very angry enough to start a global revolution that'll end up wiping out humanity. Again, *I sympathize with him, considering [REDACTED].* 4:04: But since the original suits get damaged lots, where'd they get more material away from the ship? Interesting, having this Superman wear a sun-powered exosuit... will there be a Luna, perchance? 4:38: Surprisingly, this works better than the New 52 take, since there's no red cape, the suit is black, and again, it's an exosuit named Sol. There's a chance Lois Lane is working undercover once more. Superman having to be a baby and landing to the Kents brings into mind the Old Jedi Order's way to get new recruits.
Would be cool that if we get a "Moon Suit" for it to be called Lua not Luna Sol is also how we call sun in Portuguese Brazilian, and calling the moon one Lua would fit with the language
I liked that each hero got to spend time with their parents more. Superman getting to spend time with his biological until he's older. Wonder Woman being raised by Circe and Batman still having his mom. All around I am enjoying this series a lot!!
Honestly, I would love to see Vandal Savage be the main villain. Heck, I would honestly be interested in seeing a combo between him and Lex Luthor. Imagine it, an immortal conqueror with a god complex who has spent countless millennia influencing the course of human civilization in an attempt to assert dominance, in modern day presenting himself as a genius and successful businesman leading the Lazarus Corporation as a means of continuing his conquest into the modern day. Heck, you could even tie it all into the environmental message by having Savage desire to construct a Utopia, one where all of his chosen people could happily live and serve him, not caring about what he has to do to achieve or from who he hurts or how he's destroying a planet. In a way, he would be replicating the mistakes of Krypton, creating a sort-of paradise where the privileged prosper while everyone else and the very planet this paradise is built on suffers.
Humans always find a way to leave their mark on everything, specifically americans. Theres no way the currency of Jar-El’s world is Dollars. That was lazy. Even the currency in X-Men Legends has it’s own name.
That asbestos storyline, it all started with Tony Soprano and his war against NY, now all is connected. Absolute Superman is a natural sequel to The Sopranos.
so read Absolute Superman and i would say in order of trio starting books for the Absolute titles wonder woman is easily the best than batman then superman [ not that it is bad ofcouse i really enjoy just flet batman and wonder woman starting issuse was better]
I wonder if, rather than Lex Luthor, the brains behind Lazarus Corp might be the Ultra-Humanite using lazarus pits instead of body swaps to attain immortality.
I don't think I can read Absolute now, not after what's happened. It feels like that dark world they're set in has been made real, but we have no superheroes to save us. And that's what it will take now. The devil won.
I'm kinda concerned about all that "Rich people are sht" narrative. Like, It was cool in Absolute Batman, because it was reverse of roles, but now with superman repeating the same narrative..... it's kinda concerning.
I gotta say, after seeing the utterly Distressing sight that was Trump getting elected. Seeing Absolute Superman and what she first issue had to offer really lifted my mood up abit.
Gotta remember that Superman's roots weren't just Left leaning but also Jewish if my memory serves me well. From a pair of immigrant minds who imagined a man from another world who used his godly powers for good and self-sacrificing reasons rather than for selfish purposes.
Do you know what am I read this one send the environmental angles something that I really I really relate to and I'm glad to see the Superman isn't an edgelord so I will give this one a shot and so far I like to differences in this one more Overton Batman and I kind of still want to check out Wonder Woman I'm just hoping that they don't go full 2000 Miller ultimatum craziness Play absolute Superman sounds like I might check this one out I mean it's giving me Superman 4 quest for Peace Vibes and I really like that movie even though I see that you know they've done everything in a different way as long as it's a million miles away from Zack Snyder and Man of Steel because I hate those movies Yeah but I missed trunks on Superman's costume philosopher breaks up the color and makes it unique and I missed the cape just being a cape I need a costume wise he looks very 90s very new 52 and I did not like the New 52 Superman because he just was too violent

Maybe that Ra’s and Lex would merge into one

The Lazarus Corporation having Peacemaker-inspired armor is interesting.

Just because it would be a crazy inversion I am predicting Jimmy is the head of Lazarus Corporation.
Jimmy Al Ghul has a nice ring to it…

Or he's the leader's pet because someone turned Jimmy into a giant turtle monster again...
4:34 Both that and part of his design reminds me of Kell-El/Superman X from the Legion of Superheroes cartoon
