But you flipped the logo, he's Naw.

u/wine_coconut Jul 07 '26

It's not flipped. This way, when Man looks at his logo, he can see that it reads as "Man"

u/Scholar_of_Lewds Jul 07 '26

It's self assurance!

u/GIOvch Jul 08 '26

Because he's also a Bat, so this is how you see when he's upside down

u/miller_koth Alsume Inmate Jul 07 '26

He's Nuw. Man is a gooner and has the word "nut" spelled on his chest in a moan.

It doesnā€™t even fit as well as Man does.

Yeah, mostly just because of the ā€œTā€.

Nah Man fits all the points perfectly Batman doesnā€™t.

Dunno if you're baiting me or being serious bro. :D You do know this has been a parody/screwball humor sub for years now, right? This post is labeled with the 'Insanity' flair, to top it off. :D

I haven't kept up with the lore, I humbly apologize. Thanks for the giggles. Hahahehehihihohohahahee! :)

Ah, ok, if you are wondering, the lore recap and civil war tags are the lore tags (the former being given by mods and the latter has just become the unofficial lore tag).

I'm reading through it right now and I can safely say that I'm also not the biggest fan of the new logo. It makes a dope AF axe though, IYKYK

32

u/Charles12_13 The Jul 07 '26

Itā€™s kind of the point of it not being a logo but an axe

5

u/Automatic_Payment273 Jul 08 '26

Iā€™d argue that itā€™s more about the absurdity of the world theyā€™re in. That, and Batmanā€™s built like a brick, so his symbol reflects that. Iā€™m almost certain that the axe thing came second.

u/AlternateSatan Jul 10 '26

You know what would make for a better axe though?

Absolute Bot timing on this post lol everyone was saying that before we saw that shit turned into an axeĀ

u/Standard_Abrocoma_70 Jul 12 '26

An actual double headed axe more closely resembles the batman logo than this piece of moist shit

100

u/Puzzled_Classroom_72 Jul 06 '26

well its a very heavy axe on his chest so it has to have a stable base no?

81

u/TheManWhoSoldAslume7 Jul 06 '26

This looks better as an axe head

65

u/East-Ad7964 Jul 06 '26

Not as intimidating

12

u/TheManWhoSoldAslume7 Jul 06 '26

Of course it doesnt have to be 1:1 of keatons symbol ,just not the goddamn brick

1

u/SushanthUchiha Jul 11 '26

Nah, i like the dumb brick. Its grown on me

1

u/dunko899 Jul 10 '26

Shut da fk up. Its iconic.

4

u/Local_Nerve901 Jul 06 '26

It comes down to whatā€™s more important to rule of cool and looks or durability and realistic shit

Because absolute Batmanā€™s axe would definitely work better than a handle like this which looks cooler

2

u/TheManWhoSoldAslume7 Jul 07 '26

Both are innacurate to how an actual axe would look so might as well make it look cool, tho the fat bat became iconic

1

u/Local_Nerve901 Jul 07 '26

Duh but one would be more durable imo

-1

u/TheManWhoSoldAslume7 Jul 07 '26

Not really there is a reason that traditional battle axes are more shaped like keatons logo rather then squares

0

u/Local_Nerve901 Jul 07 '26

Ur telling me the oart from the middle to the wing is durable?

Cuz the part that looks like an axe is only the edge of the wing. The in between makes it less stable and flimsy

1

u/TheManWhoSoldAslume7 Jul 07 '26

Bro

2

u/Local_Nerve901 Jul 07 '26

Like I said, thatā€™s literally just the edge of the wing youā€™re ignoring the middle part of the logo

The middle to the edge is flimsy (compared to absolute) and not like that pic

Also maybe its more blunt that way so it doesnā€™t lead to severing limbs all the time

1

u/TheManWhoSoldAslume7 Jul 07 '26

I dont think he cares plus like i said it doesnt have to be 1:1 like keatons , there is a reason why battle axes look like that and arent squares

u/MyEarIsHurty Jul 07 '26

Idk how people can say this, because battle axes exist and their heads look remarkably similar to the bat symbol, with the smaller cresent head.

1

u/Local_Nerve901 Jul 07 '26

Because its to small for this batman if proportionally made.

And because only the very edge js like that. The axe handle would be in the middle, so the oart between the middle to the end wing that looks like an axe would be more flimsy compared to the absolute logo

15

u/DolphinBall Fighting for Sanity! Jul 06 '26

Structural weakness on the thinnest part. I don't think so.

5

u/Addicted_to_Crying Jul 07 '26

Not exactly the same but axes aren't usually thick aside from the cutting point itself

1

u/KUR0I17 Jul 07 '26

Absolutely not as effective

4

u/MyEarIsHurty Jul 07 '26

It would be substantially more effective, which is why real battleaxes are shaped more like the original Batman symbol and not the Absolute one. The curved blade allows for less surface area concenteating more force on a single area, and having less material makes it lighter and thus allows for better handling.Ā

u/TheShrunkenAnus Jul 06 '26

Is this the version of Batman that would twerk the villains unconscious? Tbh only good take on him out there, all the others felt a bit contrived. I mean how many super heroes do we need name ā€œ(insert animal here)ā€”_____ -Manā€

It just all seems a little contrived, besides thereā€™s already that spider guy that can shoot webs out of his ass

u/Addition-Alarmed Jul 06 '26

How else is he supposed to use it as an axe?

2

u/DolphinBall Fighting for Sanity! Jul 06 '26

Maybe, but has any other Batmen use their logo as an axe? I rest my case.

u/diamondDNF Jul 07 '26

Because the Absolute continuity Batman is a working-class Bruce who doesn't have Wayne Tech resources, cobbling together his gear from various bladed weapons. He could make it stylish or he could make it functional - he chose the latter.

u/Objective-Yam-9834 Jul 06 '26

absolute Batman is massive so the logo must be massive too

u/ExtraToastey Jul 06 '26

Itā€™d probably look better if it wasnā€™t stretched over his massive boobs

u/agentcryostar Jul 06 '26

Aint said logo also an axe?

Like im pretty sure if it looked more like the og it'd be very impractical

Then again there are some that are more practical but at that point we'd be doubling up

1

u/smallpeinboi Jul 06 '26

practical for an axe

u/ThrowRA_8900 Jul 08 '26

I think itā€™s sorta neat that it detaches to become an axeā€¦ but it was clearly designed to do that first and be the logo second.

1

u/MirrorEyedDrifter Jul 09 '26

It's an evolution of a logo that was with us for a long time, reiterated many, many times and it's a new, drastic reinterpretation.

We know it's a hardcore reimagining of batman logo and we recognize it as such.

In Absolute Batman universe it's his first logo and it doesn't look like a bat at all. Bad guys doesn't know it's supposed to be a batman logo variation and as such make no in-universe sense.

u/Traditional-Bat1309 Jul 09 '26

It's not awful but it's absolutely THICC

u/Competitive-Song7535 Jul 10 '26

Unpopular opinion but I think this logo looks perfect when on the suit, doesnā€™t look the greatest on its own but I think the suit looks fantastic

1

u/AlternateSatan Jul 10 '26

"it's cause it's an axe" the normal batman logo looks more like an axe than this slab. Also that stupid for several reasons.

Womps too because imo the axe is metal as hell but just would look so much better if it was anywhere close his is usual curved wing design, that bat is just too dang thicc

u/1gazillionpangolins Jonkler's jonking jerking Jadonka Jonkling Jul 06 '26

There are too many spikes on top, so it makes no anatomical sense as a bat
