The world of DC Comics is getting a big shakeup with the launch of the Absolute Universe, a brand-new reality powered by Darkseid's energy! This wild new world features an exciting, unexpected take on the classic character, Batman!
Absolute Batman: A New Beginning
Forget everything you thought you knew about Batman because the Absolute Batman #1 (released in 2024) introduces us to a Bruce Wayne unlike any other! Written by Scott Snyder, this new iteration ditches the billionaire playboy persona and unveils an underdog who's actually a skilled engineer!
This new comic, was made in a unique way and brings new creative elements for those following DC series.
Fixing the Collateral Damage
One of the biggest criticisms of superhero stories is that those beloved heroes tend to leave a massive trail of destruction! It can overshadow the good they've managed to do, because the damage makes life harder for the cities they are in.
Absolute Batman brings a powerful answer to that! In a new comic, the writer, Snyder, lets us know how different this Batman truly is! With the voice of the classic character, Alfred Pennyworth, fans learn that this Batman isn't leaving destruction behind. In fact, Bruce Wayne makes sure to repair what damage he makes, even those parts such as the stairs blown up the night before! That means he’s using his engineering background to rebuild! Even if he's not fixing every broken part or doing it alone! It is a powerful demonstration and a step that few have ever considered.
An Insider Perspective
This particular Batman isn't your average hero!
This means we get to explore Bruce Wayne's skills as an engineer who worked in different sectors of Gotham's infrastructural aspects and got some serious power from his positions.
- Sanitation
- Power Grid
- Water Department
- City Hall
What's so interesting? Is he becoming corrupt?
Well, that might be a scary idea! But there’s something cool going on! Bruce, isn't using these powerful roles to gain personally, and uses this special advantage and insider status in different areas of the city to better serve the citizens! For those who have not given Batman's role in protecting Gotham a fair share, it gives an opportunity for audiences to give him a fresh take!
A New Look at Batman
