I’ve read Absolute Batman #1 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, the launch of the Absolute Universe for DC Comics, a world formed in the battle with Darkseid, and infused with his energy, a harsher, crueller DC Universe, in which the stars have to shine a bit brighter. I first reported the existence of this comic and line a year ago, though it only came to fruition recently. So, what are my impressions? I am going to do my best to avoid spoilers, this is a book that is partially built with a twist or two that deviated from the standard Batman, but I am going to lead with the very first one, in the opening pages. So be warned, Batspoilers on.
I’m interested in this version, now that I know about it. I do think the insignia being an axe head is a bit much. With how easy the axe chopped the guys hand off, it would have to be very sharp. I am assuming he would have a lot of cuts around the axe head while it’s on his chest and his jumping around.
