Origin of Absolute Superman Revealed

[@IAmImprintJones]

Broke Batman, Wonder Woman raised in hell, and a Superman raised by common blue collared family on Krypton.... Absolute is ABSOLUTELY killing it 🙏🏾☝🏾☝🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@9to5_]

Well said!

Everybody got it out the mud

[@N845-6X]

Yep Story is written by Jason Aaron. The guy who wrote Thor God Butcher Story. He write good comics at first then proceed to shit on characters later on.

[@camrong5680]

and remember we know superman is gonna lose krypton and remember he is also now in custody in the mines THIS IS GONNA BE GRIM AND IM GONNA LOVE IT

[@Noctis198]

I love this version of Superman so much. A beacon of Hope in a world where there is none. Sounds alot like these days. We need that and I'm for it.

[@darthpaul490]

*beacon*....beacon of light😊

[@Noctis198]

@darthpaul490 Typed this while driving, appreciate it.

[@CraigS-]

You mean what Superman has traditionally always been? It's certainly not new.

[@Noctis198]

@@CraigS- "A beacon of Hope in a WORLD WHERE THERE IS NONE" It's different.

[@robertt9342]

You just repeated the same sentiment without elaborating how it’s different.

[@Bulls3ye86]

The sun crest is what Jor-El wore in the silver age, It wasn't 'til the 78 movie that the S being for Superman's whole family was normalized.

[@PabloHalo-m9v]

Okay ?

[@raizor639]

Good to know. Thanks

[@cactusblack5993]

Superman was once known as "Champion of the oppressed" in his early days. I see what Jason Aaron is up to so far.

[@myominkhant5210]

[@TheQuincyEdwards]

This Absloute series is the update I needed for heroes I grew up with my whole life. Excellent takes on classic characters.

[@samuelakinrinlola763]

This is a fresh take on Superman i didn't know I needed. It's pretty refreshing to see

[@erikbihari3625]

What about that woke anime inspired one that ended not long ago?

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

Hell yeah this new take is so awesome!!

[@DaletaongaJuchure-z7q]

I love it. It's a nice take, even his powers he is not superpowered

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

@@DaletaongaJuchure-z7q Hell yeah! That's such a great detail!

[@Acnologia-r3g]

1issue and absolute supermen is already more interesting than injustice supermen

[@akashdey9030]

How come all the design from the new absolute universe wins my heart, this is just not fair. First Batman and his bat eared blades, then it was Womder woman and her giant Berserk Sword then it Superman and his awesome metallic costume.

[@sunmoon7437]

U know how long i have been waiting for this coverage?? Oooimmmabouttomakeanameformyselfhere

[@Thisthat1234]

Nightwing is somewhere furious someone stole his haircut

[@misfitking_0143]

Excited for the rest of Absolute Superman! Thank you for Sharing! Keep it coming...

[@donjoel6754]

The changes they made to these key heroes is the DC I remember as a kid. If they incorporated this into modern DC Media as Movies they would be making a alot by now.

[@notnotalx]

TELL THOSE WHAT?!?! 3:01 😂

[@variant]

He said what he said! 😂

[@daemonblackfyre3238]

Yo I heard it too. 😂

[@PopuRfs]

Hard R too 😂

[@davidvalderrama25]

😂😂😂😂

[@Siyabongakhumalo047]

Hard R was crazy 😂

[@rounakmanna5916]

Hope needs to burn brighter than ever just to survive. Absolute universe stories are incredible so far.

[@hdafkaksbfabfbao77]

I was never that into Superman that much, but this Absolute universe is going to have me reading ever book that comes about about them. I’m so hyped for this universe

[@greyworld6242]

This is such a cool superman and I want to see more! Hope is truly the underdog!

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

Hell yeah!! I can't wait for more from this story!!

[@vivekharuncyd4807]

Everyone loves an underdog

[@brysonrichardson3508]

The absolute series so far is amazing this new take on dc is what we need comic wise

[@jendaar]

Superman being raised by a blue collar family vs. Superman being raised by farmers. Wow. They flipped that origin on its head.

[@codys9616]

😂😂😂

[@_Azeem_]

It's about class structure dummy

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

HELL YEAH!! I absolutely LOVE this 1st issue, it's a perfect set up to such an interesting and clever remixing of Superman's origin! The Champion of the downtrodden workings class, Son of two disgraced super geniuses turned activists against this new oppressive status based Kryptonian society that inevitably fell to the consumption of resources and the idea of that repeating itself here on Earth with Brainiac and Lois Lane as the driving forces behind it is an awesome origin for Superman and story going forward which so far is immaculately executed!

[@plucas1]

"The League Of Middle Management" Lol! Move over Darkseid, there's a new top dog in the Pure Evil Villain department!

[@6kang971]

This is probably the best version of Superman we've seen in years

[@joshuaingobo1559]

I like that we get to see a version of Kal-El have an interesting life on Krypton before he revealed his existence to the public when he saved the civilians from Lazarus Corps. Jason Aaron his done a great job of providing backstory and origins to this version of Superman. Overall, this comic is onto a great start.

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

Hell yeah!! It's amazing to get so much information on the new culture of Krypton and to not only get Jor and Lara's perspectives on it but also Kal's and how they all react to living in and being effected by it, it's such an interesting new world to be in so far!

[@gregsmith8511]

I REEEEEALLY hope they do an animated universe with these absolute versions!!

[@majestyzx9081]

Wonder Woman has the best Absolute book so far.

[@ineedpowers5151]

Batman too

[@carbodude5414]

This goes to show that you can have a darker and edgier take on Superman *without* being so cynical about it or completely ignoring the fundamental parts of the character I totally approve of a Superman story that isn't even bothering to be subtle about its "working class vs the snooty ruling class" theme

[@janmeshgavte6578]

I wish they make an animated movie on absolute superman. Already loving it.

[@danteshammer]

Finally! Been waiting for your review on this one 😊

[@marktheshark7588]

Loving the Absolute series.It's dope🔥

[@clarencebobo5728]

Hi I’m really digging this Absolute Superman . A awesome fresh take on the story and origins of Kal-el. He has a living suit of armor that can change to protect Clark from dangerous projectiles. Awesome story. Thank you Variant 😊😂

[@mrmysterious8124]

Can you look at the Origins of The Brain from Teen Titans/Doom Patrol🧠🤖

[@yizzoManolo]

10:50 yea this take is fire ....iactually have the feeling of wanting to collect this series myself

[@thedarkknight727]

As a Final Fantasy: 16 FAN, it would seem that Absolute Krypton is the best depiction of how the Fallen Civilization looked like. 😉

[@timmynguyen4758]

So far this absolute comics run has shown me that these stories are badass but damn a universe where Gotham seems to be the safest place is actually wild

[@kirkpatrikballares3291]

Absolute supermans look reminds me so much of Superman X from Legion of Superheroes

[@NoahHenderson-oh4ef]

Heck yeah I been waiting for the and absolute Flash let’s go!!!!

[@Uncleed251]

This needs to become the new mainstream Superman everybody's tired of the old origin hope they bring Lex back to his mad scientist roots super genius with no moral restrictions.

[@dg7k]

My team AC Milan beat Real Madrid, I got an 100% on my college course quiz and we got a new issue of DC Absolute Superman. This week has been nothing but bangers let's go!

[@xtheflabeox8813]

But the whole point about Superman is to literally work up to be relatable to him keeping hope and doing the right thing Superman is and always has been relatable as a sign of Hope no matter what the story is

[@tymac9127]

Well Darkseid created this universe and made sure there is no hope.

[@khai96x]

​@@tymac9127I've seen more hopeless fictions: Beserk, 40k, and the likes. Darkseid did not make everything absolutely hopeless, he only made sure that the heroes struggle more. It would be easy for DC to just make the heroes evil (which would be edgy and bland), but they know how to cook this time. "Darkseid is"? More like "Darkseid cooks!"

[@sonderstudios6675]

This version of krypton is so interesting. Wish we'd get books on this leading up to it's destruction. I really like that he isn't SUPER powered. It's his suit that needs to be maintained. Very interesting.

[@johnp4424]

This first issue was great. Absolutely down for more. On my pull-list. Lets go

[@AdillDoughh]

The suit a.i. is this version of the Eradicator. Calling it rn

[@belleviewbibliophile9835]

You’re so much better at explaining comics than anyone else 😎🤙

[@a.k.rundizbeat3212]

Erasing Superman probably isn't enough to satisfy Darkseid, so seems like he really personally cooked Superman's bleak story.

[@khai96x]

I say: Let him cook.

[@AceTrigger00]

Ngl, Absolute universe is one of the most freshest takes for DCU in a min (I also include Dar Knights universe as well , also a fire take). I’m going to have to collect all of these.

[@DonOa-i8u]

Man this will be the best ever story of superman because it's intriguing I really love it

[@Gigantic1000]

I wanted to like this, but it feels like the New 52 with a dash of “modern audience” appeal. It won’t last

[@masterbeast-sz1yq]

The best thing happened in comics Fandom in while ..good job dc the new absolute universe is amazing so far .... dc indeed the goat of comics 😊

[@akilwilliams7466]

This absolute series has been great, I’m really enjoying these. Can’t wait until they turn these into animated movies and tv shows and I hope the art style is like Young Justice.

[@arjento2.0]

I've read it, but I am Patiently waiting for that Absolute Batman Issue 2 upload...

[@TheMarvelousComicGuy]

I think it's pretty cool how superman suit talks to him reminds of the current ultimate Spiderman run their doing wondering if that's gonna start becoming a trend with these new comics

[@weirdbookreviews]

I enjoyed the new take but this Zor el seemed like a Johnathon Kent mix. They should have picked one instead of mashing both together.

[@Minecraft_at_Night]

I just want a hopeful, inspiring Superman, why is that so much to ask???

[@Jackheart79]

Great play using the Suit as an upgrade from the crystals that his father gave him.

[@samueltheprideofafrikarobi9319]

I know that Louis and Supes being a couple is long-held Superman lore...but I really liked the New 52 idea of he and Wonder Woman being a couple. It just always made more sense to me that two nearly immortal, almost perfect God-like beings would form a romantic connection than a God-man and a human reporter. I get the underlying symbolism of Superman connecting with humanity through love, but still, Clark and Diana feel better to me as a power couple than Clark and Louis does. It's also cool to see them kicking ass together. I kind of hope that he and Louis stay, at best, eventual friends. I want to see them give the Supes/WW dynamic another go with this new retelling of the story since Superman's character and origins have been changed so completely.

[@TKLYKEN]

Great

[@richstar8905]

2:19 This is the perfect universe to bring back to comics

[@DareBear2099]

Read absolute Superman yesterday and bro, super blown away

[@ransomtownsend1149]

Been waiting for this!

[@Skillzpatchi]

The absolute series is now my favorite

[@rajin2160]

I have been waiting for this one

[@chenli9778]

Is actually interesting, that Louis and Superman, at least for now, are enemy in different sides. I knew Louis and Superman are not always became lovers but, that's really interesting to see if they are against each other.

[@AXIOSEDITZ]

The Absolute Universe is just amazing

[@assassingio9847]

It seems very intresting by now.Absolute Batman is a beast and Absolute Superman is amazing too Let¨s see how the Absolute Wonder Woman does suceed.This Absollute Universe is FIRE! by now

[@alexloredo360]

When the higher up in the mine said "diggers," oil gave him a side-eye

[@sanadamakie]

Dang, the Absolute universe is going to grind our heroes down to their very limit, but that's when they'll really shine.

[@jamok3]

Is Absolute supposed to be the DC version of Age of Apocalypse?

[@Prominent_intellect]

Nope but rather DC's version of the ultimate universe

[@jackiechun5817]

A "fancy smancy title" means nothing. The guy who hollered "look at my chest then look at yours" to a guy WHO'S FAR MORE CAPABLE THAN HIM ,actually thought that little title meant something. 😒

Why would it make him grounded, he has no memory of his home world only Martha and Mr.Kent

[@soilhalo27]

Wonder if they exist in this world.

[@EMEYORX]

Good origin story,but brainiac showing up early is a No for me

[@justintaylor8701]

I feel silly for just finding out Jason Aaron is behind this book. He had my interest now he has my attention.

[@richstar8905]

0:16 This new absolute universe has many opportunities to give many characters that most people might not know about a new retelling... The one that sticks out most to me is “ultra boy” which would be a good one… this new Universe has no restriction when it comes to past present or future characters so why not? Have an ultra-beast crash on earth and make a human ultra boy, or girl out of some science experiment or accident… Cyborg would be a good one instead of him being an accident make him a biocybernetic alien with Amazo-type ability or like Bastion from x men 97 human-sentinel hybrid... Makes me wish I was a comic creator with the ideas I would want to see

[@Niel_albatrozz]

love how bruce n clark still go for the non lethal route despite how the world treats them

[@MbisonBalrog]

Does this new Krypton not have any space exploration? Does the planet have much much higher gravity than Earth? How do these Kryptonians get their powers.

[@majestyzx9081]

It's in the issue.

[@MbisonBalrog]

@@majestyzx9081 What it say about it?

[@anuragsharma8348]

They gotta release these comics faster, cause it's way too good.

When will you continue with the Energonverse? Transformers / GI Joe, etc?

This absolute universe is so fire

[@estaveler3288]

Considering lois doesnt say its a power dampening handcuff and she’s also handcuffed to superman whats gonna happen is he’s gonna fly away with her and they get stranded on a desert or a forest and they have to survive while handcuffed to each other

[@rhyonheartmarcelo9795]

Damn you!! Darkseid!! you turned them into Gen Z haha lol

[@hyattwb]

This series is different but, I most definitely dig it. I'm interested in seeing what this universe is all about

[@CarterBowden]

I’d like to see a live action absolute Superman or as a tv show

[@greendro6410]

Nice video 😊

[@DeanCoffey]

I cant wait for the movie i think it will be really special and different to other superman movies. So, is superman really overpowered or is he semi de powered ? I really like bruce timms superman from superman the animated series i feel like his level of power was perfect in that series.

Intriguing that both Batman and Superman come from less elite/wealthy backgrounds.
