The Party Animals | Absolute Batman #1

[@bagelninja9982]

I'm looking forward to when Prime Batman meets Absolute Batman, and he is shocked when he sees his mother still alive in this universe

[@DonaldHussainMusk]

Me too. I would like to see absolute batman’s interaction with the prime bat family

[@thewatcher9500]

Its gonna be crazy to see what this batmans batmobile and his robin looks likes . This version of Dick Grayson either is wielding a sword or he is the light hearted one to balance this bruce or maybe he's just as dark him

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Oh yes! ("Martha LIVES?!")

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

​@@thewatcher9500bold of you to assume there is even a Robin here!

[@thewatcher9500]

@@MatthewLoh-ru1mw no I wasn't assuming there is . Im saying there's a very good chance there's isnt one but there is is a very good chance that there could be one in the future

WELCOME TO THE ABSOLUTE UNIT That is Batman Who Lift lol

[@JakeTylenol]

Batman:”*cuts a man’s arm off* I’d get that checked out” Like what? 😂 If he doesn’t die of blood lost the medical bills will finish the job for sure

[@CapedJoel]

I mean he was as nice about it as you can be. He did tell him where the closest hospital was lol.

[@TALLPANZER]

That hand was a murderer.

[@jrapny]

Calling it now, Alfred is a proto Deathstroke

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Maybe. But not likely😅

[@justinriley]

I'm so glad they let Nick Dragotta cook with this issue.

[@dantecrottogini529]

I am worried how the book will do when Dragotta isn't drawing it. A huge part of the appeal to me is his art and I don't think he'll be able to keep a monthly schedule for long

[@alfreddiogu92]

I know it not the main one but it good to finally see Alfred in the books again

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Me too. And he is alive over in the DC vs vampires Earth

[@ginofrancejr555]

Excellent debut issue scott snyder said this was going to be a more brutal batman and he ment it. And the fact that his mom is alive is just a brilliant twist

[@ugoeze7360]

Is it me or does Alfred looks like Ra’s al Gould?

[@Dhampir101980]

No. He does. It’s intentional, I think

[@ugoeze7360]

@@Dhampir101980 hmmm… two of Bruce’s surrogate fathers in the main universe merged into one. Color me intrigued.

[@neostardustdragon1018]

Nope I thought so too

[@FriendlyBatDoom]

I didn't see that until you said it. Now I'm wondering if that was intentional.

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

He does

[@bryceharriet9209]

This book was really great and I managed to do what hasn’t been done in decades and made Bruce, the regular human, feel like a true underdog. In the main universe it always feels like Bruce is over qualified and the only thing he needs is time to arrive, like how people treat Superman.

Party animal thug: “The Hell you suppose to be?” Absolute Batman pulverize the thug Absolute Batman: “I AM VENGEANCE! I AM THE NIGHT! I. AM. BATMAN!!!”

[@ThePongzilla]

Really look forward to hearing more about this and the other new Absolute series. Not having easy access to Western Comics anymore is a blessing and a curse. Great job Joel thank you as always.

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Thank you so much for reviewing Absolute Batman, and yes, this is kicking off to a GREAT start to the Absolute Universe!

[@TevyaSmolka]

I really love this story it’s really awesome and badass and seeing Bruce Wayne Batman and Martha Wayne being a team is super interesting that I am very intrigued on what is going to happen with this amazing book.

[@MichelleAlexandria-EM]

Actually, you are right about the mega yacht set not being good people. 😂😂😂😂

[@kemmdog4444]

They really swung for the fences with this new series.

[@kurtoogle4576]

So glad that this is interesting and a pretty fresh take!

[@rogerjustice2922]

I wasn't really sure if this new take on the absolute Universe whatever would be any good but this was actually fantastic. I can't wait to see where all this goes. Keep posting these videos I cannot afford comic books at all this is the only way I can keep up, can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos thanks and like I said keep it up you're doing a great job

[@CosmicRejectsVideo]

The artwork is amazing.

[@Matt-vg7tr]

This story looks dope

[@Jammer2727]

Robert. Erh I mean Bruce looks great.

[@shut-inwacko]

Pretty Bruce already stole Alfred's bike at the beginning of the story and not when they confront each other at the skyscraper

[@PizZam99]

I'll say it before and I'll say it again. If the bad guys are calling themselves the Party Animals, I'll be callun the absolute bat fam the Savannah Bananas

[@Rinari034]

Man reading this makes me wanna go back and read Dark Knight Returns lol

[@isaacalexander5286]

Say what you want about this book but it's nice to see Alfred alive.

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

He is alive also in the DCeased and DC vs vampire series

[@justinsullivan8250]

They turned Batman into Brock Lesnar.

[@ShudderingSeagull]

I thought it was alright but honestly that last page with the "he never laughs at any jokes its why they call him the Joker" made me roll my eyes pretty hard. Its the Joker Who Doesnt Laugh!

[@jonathaneilbeck2263]

(Inserst Absolute Vodka joke here)

[@Grace1047]

I’ve never brought a comic before but I got to admit I’m definitely considering buying the absolute Batman series

[@CapedJoel]

Then the book has done its job and done it well.

[@fearnloathingingeneral]

Go get it. It'll be a great future collector item. As a long time batman reader, this was a breath of fresh air. Keep the on going series, while trying something new and creative.

[@Bobbybillybillbob]

I always felt Christopher Lee was the ultimate "inspiration" for Alfred. The man was a WWII spy for the Queen, and became an incredible stage and then film actor! Imagine if Lee played an Alfred???? 👌

[@NAP8X]

I found this just as exciting as the first issue of Ultimate Spider-Man back in January. Really looking forward to seeing where this goes. There’s something about Bruce having to wait til he gets payed again to replace the heavy bag at the gym that really drove home how different a character this will be.

[@GeekBearReporter]

I want a Killer Croc Gym tshirt

[@daraghokane4236]

I think absolute superman will be him vs Ultra Humanite, as that is his first super villain. And Ultras goal of I want to put my brain in supermans body fits the Reverse of this universe. Its what if superman needed saving and was hunted.

[@ShaafiAwaale]

The new 52

[@digunder14]

more like BAT-tle axe

[@CapedJoel]

@digunder14 Oh man, they better trademark that one right now because that's money .

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

​@@CapedJoelnot only that, but the Batman character will soon go public domain in NINE years. So DC is trying to have their own modern version when that eventually happens! 😅

[@loriswilliams5481]

This batman 🦇 is secretly using venom lol 😂 😅😂

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Nope. Just works out at the gym, run by Killer Croc

[@loriswilliams5481]

@MatthewLoh-ru1mw bullshit working out at Croc's gym isn't enough to turn a person into a human hulk. Come on man one of his arms is equivalent to a woman's torso

take away his money, he just k, and then beats the shit out of you harder and flexes his smarts way more

@@digunder14 They even make a point of showing Bruce was super smart even as a child and built that Cape tech himself.

Is this an Elseworld story or the new status quo

[@CapedJoel]

@@marcerickson7075 A whole new earth/imprint with its own ongoing series.

[@CapedJoel]

@marcerickson7075 Yes, that is a very good way to look at it.

[@DCis1]

Just pray there will be absolutely no, not any Bruce and Barbara romance.

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

There aren't any!

[@MichelleAlexandria-EM]

The Joker is so overused.

[@piyoweb]

That logo looks so stupid. I could never take any of this seriously 😂

[@matthewterlaga3022]

The art in this book FUCKING SUCKS, but the story is EXCELLENT. I love this new take on Batman and the Joker, I’m really looking forward to the rest of this series.

[@danielendless]

Must suck being blind

[@matthewterlaga3022]

@@danielendless look at the scene with Bruce hitting the bag, he looks like he has a child’s head on a man’s body, plus the the face of the skinny guy hitting the bag is one of the worse faces ever put to print.

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

No, it's not. It's GREAT!

[@PopculturedDSun]

What if and this just a theory if Alfred is Ra’ Al Ghul. And his daughter is actually Talia could be a great twist

[@isaacalexander5286]

I can see it (tho I hope not) but I will bet there's some kind of connection.

Teacher can’t teach their own children in public schools it’s a conflict of interest man dropped the ball on that

[@CapedJoel]

@avidplanes I mean, this new world was built from the ground up by Darkseid to favor evil and corruption in all its forms. I dont know what the dark lord of the New Gods' stance is on public school protocol, lol.
