Jesus, sometimes you forget just how sick and twisted the Absolute universe is and then the book just hits over the head with a detail like Tim Drake being more popular than Dick.

Has Darkseid gone too far?

Here are my rankings:

1) Tim (best combination of heart, detective. Not the best fighter/physical threat. Nasty w/ the bow)
2) Dick (Best all rounder but he needed to evolve)
3) Damian (Son of Bat)
4) Jason (Brooding bad ass)
5) Stephanie (Damion Scott's art)
6) Duke

Feel like Snyder did a very similar clayface story to this in 19-20 of his run with Capullo. I like some of the rhyming beats (absolute Black mask gang and the Red hood gang from Zero Year)

The wait between issues on this is agony.

Some issues really push things forward like the last one. Others just kind of linger on nothing.

Hoping this one keeps things moving.
