    I dont know why people hate the art change, it makes sense because it looks very year one style-ish and Batman himself is year one Miller in this. Its snyder way of homaging the original comic. Moreover, Snyder's technique to switch artist for different period of time in comic story timeline had been done ever since 2010 with Batman black mirror. In that comic, he switches artists for us to see whats past or present, its phenomenal trick to tell a story because in movie the only way to show a flashback is put it in black and white, while comic has better advantages here, you can see full colors everything, why complaining now (people in the comment)

      the people complaining hate any sort of change. Most seem to think all comic art should just be the same with no actual style.

      @Stealthybat39 I'm complaining because it's impossible without gamma rays for the Abolute Batman in his 20s to triple in size by present day. They offer no explanation. Does he just change size based on artist?
      Did he have a pituitary gland issue which made him keep growing?
      Did he create a super soldier serum?

      @Rengokuo4o6 very... The Batman is one of the few exceptions for me. It shows that Thomas was a good but complicated man who got backed into a corner.
      He didn't want that jackass reporter publicly defacing his wife, but he didn't want him hurt or killed. There was nuance to that.

      Thomas Wayne was always a good father to Bruce, some stories to show him as a bit distant and harsh but still a good man. These stories that show him as a bad father are character derailment created for shock value.

    So Superman fails at school and sucks at studying while Bruce is a genius. Lol

    • @firxanza5172
      @firxanza5172 16 днів тому +5

      well in the Absolute Universe, Superman fails at school, because he would rather handwrite his own research paper by actually doing research manually instead of relying on computer generated texts, it's kind of like working hard to get original ideas instead of using an automated system that gives you the same answer all the time, and this displeased his teachers on Krypton and distanced him from the rest of his class
      on the other hand, Absolute Batman was not born with "I am rich" powers and had to work hard to earn his keep and fund his secret vigilante activities out of his own pocket, he was still a genius though and learned to modify weapons to become non-lethal, but he would rather cause more chaos in Gotham than trying to put a stop to it, the only thing that made his life a little better than his Prime Earth counterpart is the fact that he still has his mom, only his dad died, but that was already traumatizing enough for him to become Batman

      I get a lot of golden age nostalgia from that idea! For a while all of his skills had an American flavor (cowboys, Indians,, fbi, etc) then the 70s brought in more globe trotting/espionage elements that I think take over most modern takes… this one feels like a vigilante jack kerouac(sp?)
      I haven’t liked a majority of comics in a long time but this one is entertaining.

    Pin this so everyone know if you think its necessary.
    I'm sure this needs to be said
    i saw a channel with so many subscribers and so many ppl
    criticized batman pulling gun on Alfred last time
    and that person said "batman doesn't use gun"
    That person is stupid cuz he shouldn't say things like
    that cuz a character used something and he didn't like it
    Batman in main Universe a gun took his parents from him so that's why he hates guns!
    in absolute universe it wasn't a gun it was bats that took his father so with that person's logic batman shouldn't exist! Either way why he should have
    beef with guns here when nothing happened?
    by the way
    Great job brother and tnx for always being the first one
    to let us (who can't buy comics where i live)
    enjoy this aswell

      his father was killed by a gun in the absolute universe. He doesn’t use guns anymore in this universe either. In this issue he has a gun, but later gets rid of it. This issue is also a reference to the original batman/detective comic where he wears a similar suit and uses a gun.

    So early grown up bruce is batman, and his body is like Peter Parker....but later his body is the Hulk? No amount of working out makes your bones longer or makes you taller.
    Are we gonna find out he invented a super serum or gamma bomb?
    Yeah, it's a fantasy. But even fictional stories need to make sense.
    Very disappointing. Has killed my excitement about the Absolute Universe.
