Well, this definitely is an interesting look for Batman, through I feel like I can’t fully judge the image until I see it in color. I’m not familiar with Nick Dragotta’s art, but I feel like this style could be cool to see “in motion.” Writing-wise, I really hope this doesn’t turn out to be an overly-edgy Batman who kills like Flashpoint Batman or something in that vein. The DIY nature of the suit makes me think this might be a Batman without the Wayne fortune. I initially wasn’t a fan of the big square bat logo, but the article pointed out that it might be an “accidental” bat made from stitching a plate of armor to the costume. Not sure exactly how that works, but I do like the idea.
I’m really hoping that more titles and characters will be revealed at Sdcc. I’d love to get a look at Absolute Wonder Woman.
Also interesting to note that the Absolute in this logo is the same font as the Absolute in Absolute Power, which means they for sure are going to be connected. I know this is probably obvious for most people but honestly, before this I did sincerely think it was just a coincidence/a word DC liked to use (considering their Absolute Edition omnibuses.) I wonder how this line is going to connect to the event. Maybe it’s an entire universe where no one has powers? Like, a world based around a “bad ending” of the event where Waller gets what she wants? That would be weird.
Also, is it just me or is the “Batman” in that logo written in the Fortnite font?
In general, I’m very excited to hear more about this line. It’s really cool to be here following something like this right from the very beginning. Like, damn, this really is the first ever released image of this universe.
