Will Bruce Wayne Ever Be President?
In DC Comics, the Batman's story has always revolved around the "Dark Knight," who often becomes a beacon of hope in the face of chaos - however, those who read the latest installment from DC, Absolute Power #3, have been introduced to a new, somewhat frightening perspective. That’s a reflection of a Batman whose control has been turned to his darker side.
It has become a pivotal part of Absolute Power (one that those fans of the Batman universe can read, making their way through an elaborate tale), where they learn more about Failsafe, and a key character who has always been considered an “evil Batman” as a robotic duplicate who takes on a Batman persona and who was designed to take the reins - one that emphasizes a Batman darkest personality (and those who seek control and power) and his constant struggle to find the balance - but it's also reminded those fans about how the series often makes connections to those pivotal events in Batman history - particularly in the Batman story when those traumatic events happened and shaped how he would approach justice and a world in need of protection.
What Is The Latest Batman Story Arc?
In DC Comics's Absolute Power, Amanda Waller is now on the rise to power as she attempts to create her version of a "Ministry of Order", one that’s poised to reshape the world - with those characters, such as Failsafe (as Batman's robotic counterpart who takes on his image and functions, often making him an adversary for Batman to encounter in the future - in an effort to show those elements that make up Batman in DC Comics ), making him the leader, known as a Failsafe Commander-in-Chief, giving Waller more control over the country’s defense system as it expands in the latest comic books - it serves as a unique story arc.
This has been one of the more dramatic events within DC Comics as it introduces a new element to Batman (as a "Dark Knight" whose goal is to bring order through a unique, yet violent approach that may not reflect Batman's traditional methodology). It's the result of a constant fight and tension that occurs in the comic universe, particularly as Waller attempts to build her empire (the Amanda Waller Ministry of Order) to confront a multitude of those Batman allies (often making the "Dark Knight" go up against those who are often regarded as some of his strongest assets), and showing Failsafe as the Commander-in-Chief, that he might gain an immense amount of influence over how he shapes this new organization.
Why is Failsafe Such A Dangerous Character In DC Comics?
Failsafe - the "evil Batman," (in many ways an embodiment of the Batman darkest personality and Batman's desire to bring about justice, often at a violent cost, as well as serving as a representation of those aspects of the Batman story where he seeks revenge on his foes, as his mission becomes more ruthless - while those Batman sidekicks try to find an alternative way to stop him, in addition to confronting Batman’s trauma and even his Batman humanity as those that have worked alongside the Dark Knight realize just how dangerous this threat may be - serving as a reminder of Batman history and the dark events that have helped shaped him), has often been depicted as a potential tragedy.
