[biohazard]

"DC-34 shotgun" 1934 is the year DC was founded, that's a clever shout out.

[infraredghost]

Rip Comicstorian he would’ve really loved this fresh new spin on Batman and the rest of the Justice League

[SoldierSpiderx]

I will say this about The Batman Who Lifts: No one can ask him why he doesn't just use his money to help the city. No money, only muscles that Batman wielding an axe out of his chest that shaped like the Bat emblem looks absolutely metal.

[greyworld]

I want to see THIS Batman try to break bane’s back!

[Zero]

This. This is the Batman we need. He’s straight up brutal without crossing the line. He just tap dances on the line

[theonlyuncleben]

Bruce being childhood friends with his villains was a nice touch. Definitely did not see that coming

[ugoeze]

Anyone notice that Alfred looks like Ra’s Al Gould?

[AXIOSEDITZ]

I’m not a die hard Batman fan but Absolute Batman is my favorite Batman. Not just because of his design but the plot and backstory of this Batman is like a breath of fresh air. LOVE IT!!!

[omega]

Bruce Wayne is 6'6 and 250lbs of muscle and people still wonder who Batman

[C-Rage]

Remember the meme that said

"Batman doesn't use guns. But he isn't above using a battleaxe"

Well now he has one

[Pepsimus-Prime-qp]

Thomas Wayne is not a doctor in this universe but Bruce’s teacher. That’s cool take on Thomas Wayne in this universe showing that he is not just Bruce’s dad but a mentor to him too which is interesting.

[guiguiregismercer]

I want this batman EVERYWHERE!! Movies, tv series, animated shows

[CombatSportsNerd]

The use of Alfred Alfred alone was enough to hook me! Do use of the other villains? Even better

[IAmImprintJones]

I know DC fans are jaded AF because of all the resets the last 10 plus years but this looks awesome. They're taking everything about Bruce's character and literally inverting it while still keeping who he is at it's core with some fresh elements while keeping him separated from the earth prime Batman but in the same vein of acknowledging that he adjacently exists across from earth prime continuity.

[HaydenBaker-sx]

I grew up in a lower class family and I was also diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome so to see a Batman that’s just a hard blue collared worker means a lot to me it really warms my Heart that you guys covered my favorite superhero batman

[ValueNetwork]

I love how this Joker is a cold and calculating Billionaire. A Lex Luthor type who will presumably want to destroy Batman because he’s a threat to his vision for humanity. That’s a great way to switch up the dynamics, and i wonder if other Batman characters will be upper class like the joker. presumably it will be characters who are working class in the normal continuity like Jason Todd and Tim drake

[cory]

I had my doubts from the beginning, hated everything prior to release. But now, this actually looks good

[khumarchauhan]

Now I’m super excited to see Absolute Superman as well

[dionysisnance]

They say dark knight returns batman built like a tank just look at absolute batman.

[JohnEspadana]

Spiderman: poor with powers

Batman:rich but no powers



Absolute batman: less money no powers
