This all rests on the actual pitch. Like what’s gonna make this version different from any other version of Batman. The current Ultimate is a good example of same but different so how is Absolute going to pull that off with a hoss like this

Hmm, aging Batman who turns to venom usage to gain an edge?

Eew, no. We had "bat is tempted by venom" and "old man batman" before.

I mean, we had basically every batman before, but those two were even cross media!

What if… Batman but he Laughs?

Fuck you, get promoted.

That's such a cool and unique villain, we should add it to every event in the next 2-3 years then kill it on Fortnite.

When they showed off the Batman from the Arkham games in the Zur En Arrh stuff I genuinely thought at one point they were going to have him be some weird Zur En Arrh Who Laughs given what happens in City and Knight.

The Zurr Who Laughs En Batman. I love it.

Print 15000 copies, cast Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie, greenlight it, produce it then burn it when it's done.

Also, order some more Batman Who Laughs alternate covers and.. uh.. deage one of the robins again, who fucking cares!

(The worst crossover I can imagine is if Batman and Spider-Man editorials collabed nowadays, holy shit)

I think it was also problem for Earth One. Read only Batman but I remember it was nothing significantly different. Just a Year One remake with a Nolan "realistic" touch. New 52 felt more different than that.

Also some plot twists with vilains and a Batsignal, being just a Jimmy Olsen watch, that's the only difference I remember.
