@xLegionaryxx Batman enters public domain in 10 years. I want to create a Batman that’s a middle ground between this and the original. By making him ‘only’ a millionaire. So he can still have lots of cool gadgets and free time to be Batman. But he still has to be mindful of his money and resources.

[@xLegionaryxx]

@@arandomfawn5289 Nietzche talked about the ‘Master Morality’ and ‘Slave Morality’. Slave morality was the tendency of the poor/workers to base what they consider virtuous off of the opposite of what the aristocracy considered virtuous and civil. Master Morality is the name given to the ‘elite’ morality. Evola as a traditionalist rejected Populism and instead sought to essentially establish a new system similar to that of Ancient Rome in which you had strict classes. The People, Aristocracy and Leadership would all be separated with the Aristocracy and leaders being able to enforce a strict moral code and government onto all others. Preventing the decadent Populist morality from dictating the goals of state and nation. Atleast that is my understanding of both.

[@mysteryneophyte]

This was written by somebody trying to show how messed up of a world it would be if created by dark side

[@AlphariusandOmegon]

The big problem with this is that the writers that wrote this mess agree with the morality expressed within, if DarkSied superman is fighting for the rights of immigrant workers the writers believe he is doing the right thing despite being a communist subversion of Superman. So there not actually critiquing the marxist politics in these books their praising them and saying if we had a Superman with these particular politics we would be able to make them work. I'm sure this will become apparent in later issues if they do later issues but it seems to me the writers are doing wish fufillment in these books rather than critique and the point is that these marxist ideals are the correct ideals you just need superhero type people to do them properly.

[@kielbasamage]

A bit too on-the-nose.

[@AlphariusandOmegon]

So one of the most important parts of Bruces character is his wealth, Bruce as a character is all about sacrifice and one of the major things he sacrifices is the luxury his wealth could provide. Bruce could spend the rest of his days balls deep in foreign super models on a yacht somewhere having his every fantastical whim catered too for the rest of his life. Yet instead of living a luxurious hedonistic lifestyle of endless new experience, Bruce puts on his armor every night and climbs down into the violent morass of Gotham City to try and protect the ordinary people of Gotham. Without the wealth of the Bruce Wayne character his journey into the hive of Gothams violent streets is far more selfish because he doesn't have any other option, he's not afforded the ability to do anything else but lead a normal life in Gotham. Without that option to go live in the lap of luxury he's not sacrificing unlimited comfort for the people of Gotham because he doesn't have that option and therefor is far less potent of a heroic character. But of course Warner Bro's is the stupidest company on planet earth so of course they would hire writers that hate their most beloved characters.

[@Riley_Mundt]

Superman is always raised by a midwestern American family. Magneto is always a holocaust survivor. Captain America is always a WWII veteran. To suggest otherwise completely ruins their characters.

[@barnbwt]

The whole point is he's a secular take on Jesus; a godly being fallen to Earth, and raised by its weak inhabitants to become the embodiment of the best virtues we all aspire to (well, some of us, anyway). A degenerate or tyrannical Superman is a pointless and contradictory endeavor, only momentarily interesting /in contrast/ to the compelling original, and only useful as a storytelling device if the author's are too incompetent to portray Superman's actions in such a manner as to speak for themselves. This is like a baker, renowned for making intricate pastries, announcing he will next produce a coiled turd that is the most repellant 'baked good' conceivable, and taking enough pride in this petulant act to demand payment from any demented fool (or Arch) who desires a taste nonetheless.

Honestly, a construction worker vigilante that uses modified construction equipment to fight supervillains sounds like a potentially interesting idea, just not as batman. Like, I could easily see even the lethal vigilante angle working, having s more pragmatic and ruthless hero willing to put down mad dogs that can't be saved but still possessing a golden heart deep down, buried under a gruff, no nonsense exterior, is a very workable conceit. The mistake was the obvious communism angle, making him too evil, and trying to subvert Batman. Not-Wonder Woman's base idea is also potentially interesting, a demon witch from hell coming to earth to find a man she fell in love with? That's a fascinating basis for a story! Again, trying to make it Wonder Woman was a big mistake, and being written by a communist was, of course, a fatal flaw. The Red Devil produces nothing but suffering, after all.

It was no guns to nake him more kid friendly when sifekicks became popular. He's still a blatant plagrism of the Shadow. Kinda good as the Shadow has dodged IdPol through being too obscure.

The most insane isekai manga with most ridiculous title possible is leagues above this shit.

[@MarlKitsune]

"Hell invades California"...So it invades itself? Makes sense.

[@Beard_Hood]

Evil is a good descriptor for people who think others aren't deserving of sympathy if they ate of a different class.

[@Berserker-zw8cf]

Deadpool has been fucking around with the Continuity stone again.

[@Sigismund-von-Luxembourg]

DC has become so irrelevant that no one even knew about this dumpster fire until a month later.

[@khylerbane4523]

To be completely honest the only objectively good thing coming out of this is the artwork because holy crap is it beautiful.

[@davfree9732]

I only tangentally heard about Absolute, and my first thought was 'it doesn't sound as good as rebirth.'. Then I listened to this video and I thought. 'Please bring back Rebirth'.

Tony hawks 360 fishbone. Smeeeeeeelllll

[@ixaldorran7867]

I too call non lethal in D&D when severing a npc head. Your being too harsh Arch.

[@Scortch-lo3xy]

holy shit, this was an absolute trip

[@mrmackie-qp6lr]

And not for the first time I wonder in my life is this what a stroke feels like?

[@dagdamor1]

You are certainly not late to the party from my point of view, because this is the very first time I am hearing of this drivel. Same as many others, I expect. A lot of us outright wrote off this particular medium entirely because we knew which way the wind was blowing, and this absolute travesty just passed us right on by because no one was even glancing in western comics' direction anymore.

No construction worker dose a full day work then stays up all night

[@desertbluffs7113]

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that

[@hewhoshallnotbenamed5168]

I could potentially enjoy these books as over the top satire IF it weren't for the fact the writers VERY MUCH believe in the ideas being "satirized" within them.

[@manoftruth0935]

Only way Absolute run gets saved is it gets destroyed by the anti matter wave.

[@mcintoshthedodgyonedyson]

While i love the idea of bulbasaur. Geodesic domes.... we don't need an external environment. It would be nice, but hey that asteroid looks habitable

[@robertjokebr1480]

Remember that there is that universe that norman orborn was the iron patroit and injustice was a hit. Now the DC alternative universe is trash and the new ultimate universe seems good.

[@alextheman3330]

These stories are ABSOLUTE trash! wtf happened to comics!?!

[@spear1504]

Left wing activists and journalists happen, that decide to takeover industry and making chnage what they don't like vandalism thing we love casuing thr comicgate movement.

[@spear1504]

Strange people happen. when Americans comic book industry being hijacked and and start vandalism our own favourite hobbies that leads to comicgate movement

[@bloody4558]

Comics? Are you for real? It's the entire freaking entertainment industry. Movies, news, books, comics, cartoons, series, music, and even games. These tainted freaks are infesting every media because that is the only way they know how to sell their politics, through excessive exposure, also known as brainwashing.

Where's Dr. Manhattan when you need him?
