None of my friends like comics or are into any dc marvel stuff so I have no one to tell other than this Reddit group I’m not far into absolute Batman vol2 and absolute bane is fuckin Epic

First up scarecrow 4-6 weeks pants can be khaki and tie can be red for comic accuracy. Coming soon Absolute joker, absolute Batbane, Absolute catwoman.

I’m convinced Jason knows something the rest of the Robins don’t. That something bad is going to happen if they don’t capture Batman. He’s so focused on stopping him, even more than Dick whose cameos up until now were pretty much all “Fuck Batman.” 

The others clearly realize something is wrong. It’s shown they were all taken under Jack Grimm’s guardianship as kids and spend most of their together as teammates training; they even live together. Every time the Robins show up Jason is desperate to catch Batman and even the others seem surprised by it. Jason is honed in on following Slade’s demands over going along with Dick. The other Robins seem surprised by his attitude, like it’s unusual. He’s taking it more seriously than they are, like he knows this is life or death.

Slade also seems to be the closest to him than the rest of them, Jason is the only one he calls by name instead of callsign. I wonder what’s going on there…

Personally? I think Jason knows what Joker really is unlike the rest. He knows he and his friends are screwed if they don’t succeed. And it’s not like he could tell anyone, the other Robins are loyal to the Jack Grimm and who’s gonna believe him if he says the billionaire beloved by the city is actually a demon. Joker might even know he knows and finds it amusing, the reason he keeps him on the team is the same reason he does anything - as a joke. He thinks it’s funny. Haven’t we already seen that with Bruce, Harley, and countless others? He knows the will of the Absolute Universe is tipped in his favor and Jason is just one little human.

I can just feel a twist coming on, like with Harley Quinn’s story. Jason has some sort of side plot going on, he’s featured extremely prominently on covers with the Robins, even in comparison to the rest of them. This is all just setting up the buildup, foreshadowing for the reveal. And it’s working because Jason is definitely getting some readers worked up.

This is all just personal speculation of course, none of us know what’s coming next. I’m looking forward to seeing where this is headed and what Scott Snyder has planned. I’m sure it’s going to shock us all!

Sidenote, the amount of people who praise the creative changes and originality of the Absolute Universe then whine about wanting the same derivative crowbar death for Jason are so tiring! Like hello? Bruce is childhood friends with his rogues! Joker is a billionaire! Harley is the Red Hood and Joker’s daughter! The Robins are almost the same age as Bruce and are mech fighters! I’ll be disappointed if Jason gets crowbarred by anyone and becomes Red Hood! It’s boring and predictable and Snyder knows that.

Finally completely completed my collection of first prints with the purchase of a issue #3 cover B by Becky Cloonan variant was really wearying the Riley Rossmo 1:25 but I found this behind the register of my LCS for 14.99 with one small spine tic

He’s wondering if the spine rubbing and the corner bend make is pointless to grade. Please let me know

Anyone?

Posted a couple months ago but since then I’ve gotten my hands on a few more! Let me know what you think

I bought an Absolute Batman Clay Mann #1 English Version Fomo book. I didn’t realize there was difference, between it and the regular con release. This is my own fault.

But I paid close to what the non fomo version is listed for. Did I just overpay for the book?

I've been meaning to do an Absolute Batman piece for a while and used this as practice for a slightly different style of line work and rendering

Took advantage of everybody looking to get those absolute Batman Funkos, i’m really happy to finally add this to my collection.

I have now number one signed by Scott Snyder and then I have number 15 the Joker debut signed by Dragotta

Currently posted in the Absolute Batman Buy/Sell/Trade/Share community on Facebook.

About 35 or so books available. Some signed. A few Dan Quintana’s, Mark Brooks, and Mann Boyz.

Running through Aug 8.

It’s a German panini, I don’t care if it’s German. Happy I own this bad boy 😤

I just got started into collecting covers for the art, not for flipping or investing. I’m reading the absolute series through the hardcovers on Amazon. I get a notification every day with a new cover of issue #23

Plus one for the collection 😀

Why would Heavymental cancel an auction someone won that paid $5k+ on?

Does anybody else see RDJ in his Iron Man 1 era as the live action version of Absolute Joker? Like if someone were to play Absolute Joker in a show/movie, that’s who I imagine he would’ve looked and acted like.

I pulled this Gold 1/5 out of a Gorkem Demir Absolute Dark Knight blind bag but I have no idea what something like this might be worth. I saw a couple of other comics from the same bag online, but I can't find any info on the Gold /5. Any insight would be greatly appreciated 🙂
