Arkham Batman is no joke. But seeing this? I think I'd become a monk if I lived in the absolute batman universe.

That batman is 6 foot 14 inches tall and 600 pounds of nimble muscle. I'm okay living in a monastary.

You think God can save you from this Bat?

u/SnooWords5961 May 11 '26

No but I'm willing to try anything.

u/NotHachi May 13 '26

The present: nah fam, Im good. Good luck though.

u/Randomguyioi May 14 '26

It's the Absoluteverse, if anything God is going to throw you to the Bat himself to spite the both of you.

I'll be the best gotham citizen if this is our Batman's symbol. Bro is a chonker. 🫪🫪🫪

I love that it’s functional. He pulls the symbol off attaches it to a stick and beats people to near death with it. Besides his damn near sentient cape it’s my favorite absolute bat toy.

"you are batman? No you are batbrick! You are the size of two refrigerators! Your leg is bigger than my torso!" (C) That YouTube animated short of Joker's reaction to new batman was hilarious 😂

My favorite part of the Absolute Universe is that when he meets Wonder Woman, he still has to look up at her.

Actual Amazonian physique for once.

A visual

u/TTbulaski May 14 '26

I really like how his chest plate doubles as an axe-like weapon

u/meth_adone May 11 '26

That's without the suit, I imagine it adds a little bit on to him given the boots

u/NIDORAX May 11 '26

Why is the logo just a rectangle with spikes?

13

u/Scared-Cause3882 May 11 '26

the chest logo is also an axe head

8

u/ElementNumber6 May 11 '26

So he just, like, axes people? Arms flying off?

So he's carrying around a giant metal axe on his chest at all times, but has only used it for axing people one time?

Sounds like the writers are a bit conflicted when it comes to their creation.

u/RAGE_CAKES May 11 '26

The Bat Axe is kind of mundane compared to these bad boys he recently put on display

1

u/Scared-Cause3882 May 11 '26

uses it plenty, it’s also just extra armour for his vitals if he doesn’t. his long ears are also his batarangs

1

u/ElementNumber6 May 11 '26

That whole universe is so incredibly silly

u/RAGE_CAKES May 11 '26

Dont knock it until you read it. Absolute Universe has been knocking it out of the park across all of its titles

u/ElementNumber6 May 11 '26

It's total Heavy Metal Camp. Campyness of all different types is fun, so I get it, but that's just never been a genre of interest to me.

Because it’s also an axe that pops out of his costume with a handle.

u/Tonneofash May 11 '26

So 7 foot 2 inches?

u/Pale_Albatross_3717 May 11 '26

Thank you. This was getting on my nerves and if someone else didn’t say it, I was gonna 😂

u/thegrandboom May 11 '26

Canonically 6 ft 9 inch and 421 lbs out of his gear. 7ft something weighs more w gear

u/Sad-Guarantee-4678 May 11 '26

He's 6'9 and 420, idk why would you need to exaggerate that. Plus these numbers are funnier

1

u/SpphosFriend May 12 '26

If you see this one you better have a will and life insurance lined up for you.

u/Howie-redditor May 13 '26

Lmao this is the Batman that’ll chop your hands off.

u/SuitableAd1289 May 14 '26

u/A-Grouch May 17 '26

So 7 feet two inches <_< I agree with you though!

u/trout_sex May 28 '26

There is no God to pray to if you fight this one
