what is it about Absolute Batman that you find better than Absolute Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter. I think they're all great, but I want to har from your perspective.
I didn’t like this as much as the prior issues.

How does Waid do it?
A plan, A set up, action, explosions, loss, grief, discovery, murder, betrayal, etc - all in one book.
Samnee is just awesome in every panel.

Waid's modern masterpiece.
What a beautifully written Alfred. They really must reverse his death in the main series. His lack of presence in mainline Batman is felt each passing year.

Padded issue.
Wally’s going to need to learn to handle the heat as he faces down themonstrous Heat Wave! Can he evade his fiery grasp, or will the youngspeedster be burned to a crisp?!
Best issue of the series so far.
Bruce Wayne is trapped within the horrors of Ark M as his best friendWaylon Jones endures unimaginable tortures…but what awaits Batman isfar more terrifying than anything either has faced…the true form of Baneis revealed. But it’s how Bane plans to break Batman that will have you,our dear readers, bending over backward.
Wow.
Snyders storytelling is simply thrilling. I love these character variants. The experiments Batman went through? Does he have powers now or will he?
His friendship with Croc resonates with me. The brutality of the experiments are as fascinating as they are soul destroying.
Also, it seems this Batman gets up to mischief with Selina in a way Prime Batman seldom more

I just think the core group of cast is so well done. Enemies in normal continuety, now not only his closest friends...
They are actually in on the Batman gig. I've wanted a fresh Batman take for many years and Synder is delivering every issue. I just find reading it exhilarating in a way that other comics can't replicate. It's Scott Snyder, the dude is just special. That he hasn't been tapped for Holywood proper is insane to me. I'm just glad he's still doing comics at all.
Overall this arc could have been tighter and more consistent.
And Damian at times has seemed out of character.
But this is a great issue. And better than anything we’ve seen in the main Batman title in a long time. Looking forward to the finale.
Deep under Gotham City lies a subterranean echo of a lost time. This abandonedworld has lain uninhabited for decades…until tonight. Now, Damian Wayne is thesole human resident of these abandoned catacombs…imprisoned by the entityknown only as Memento. A father is desperate to track down his son, but willBatman be able to descend into the bowels...
Definitely things I loved about this. And it definitely subverted by expectations.
Case 03: PareidolaBatman’s vigilant investigation of the Red Hood Gang killing in the Rookery putshim on a collision course with the unlikely culprits at the heart of the latest mysterythreatening to upend order in Gotham City.
My bet is that this Ras Al Ghul is actually Vandal Savage.
The character seems much closer to Vandal Savage. He is the demons head in the absolute universe.
The mysterious Omega Men have chased the Superman around the world,determined to plead their case: that only with his help and by unleashingthe full scope of his terrifying power can they put an end to the LazarusCorporation. And with anger burning in his heart, Kal is starting to listen…
I enjoyed it. Some great fight sequences and storytelling. Can’t believe it took 8 issues to get here.
With some of the team reunited, they need to put a plan together to strike backat the Injustice Society! But with a mole hiding amongst them, is their planalready ruined?!
I am willing to give this a chance.
On the sliding time scale: I’ve read through Crises, a few year ones, an emerald dawn, a secret origin, a birthright…. I think I can get over it. If they fix the coloring and find the right balance in the storytelling.

I realize that having characters not age significantly over decades can lead to problems in a fictional universe, but in my opinion, the best way to deal with this strange phenomenon is to not address it at all. It's just not possible to reconcile every story with actual history, so why try at all?
The new Captain America series does try and boldly moves the reemergence of Cap from 196 more

There are a lot of service members that upset with parts of the story, and I think Chip is really pushing the envelope when it comes to trying to mirror the Steve Rogers story. However, it does start really well. Filled with action. I hate the design for the grey costume with he black star. It sucks. Hopefully we never have to see that again after next issue. I do like the conversation with Reed, more

Maybe it was the coloring, but I swear this is not Valerio Schiti's art. When I compare it to Empyre or GODS or Inferno, it's totally different. I can't put my hands on it, but this artist was really familiar.
regardless, I was surprised on how well this book was, considering how dissapointing Zdarsky's Batman final ending. I hope Zdarsky's run on Captain America will also be solid, and more

I liked it for the most part. It is jarring to see the time change to the defrost, but the quality of the story was high. It set up what it needed to.

Visually stunning. Story is pretty good. Feels like the book that people can read after they see the movie; to catch up on things.
Legends collide as the Man of Steel goes supersized for the Summer of Superman! In this all-new treasury edition, quintessential Superman writer Dan Jurgens pairs with the modern master of sequential art, Bruno Redondo, to craft a larger-than-life story of power, tragedy, action, and, above all—hope. When a vicious armada of extraterrestrial extr...
I guess no one is reading this anymore! Or no one is reviewing it! It’s an okay issue in a story that I am enjoying.
I still don’t buy Wally west as reed Richards. Which is how this reads for me.
With Eclipso taking on a new, evolved form as a fire elemental, and theRogues’ blitzkrieg across the moon claiming more and more of the Flash’scopies, Wally West has to split himself even further—but there is dissensionamongst the Temp Flashes!
I think you are right - no critical reviews and your one user review is a shame for a character that should be a must read each month
It’s too bad because there are some great ideas in this storyline. Wally splitting himself to fight a battle is a good idea. But there are some real problems with it as well.
A great and fun comic.
They say that before you begin a journey of revenge, you should dig two graves, but Annalise and her robot are going to need a lot more than that. Way more. Even more than you’re thinking. Also in this issue: a guy gets his head punched off!
Well executed. But unoriginal. And a step down from the prior issue.
I may misunderstand what “assorted crisis events” is about.
Will see if I continue reading this.
URGENT! PLEASE HELP! I have aged 60 years in 6 days! Life is rapidly passing me by, and I can't make it stop! My mind and body are breaking down, and I’m not sure how much longer I have left!

The temptation of everything Diana has ever wanted lies just inside, butalso, untold horrors and no known escape. Diana has entered the maze,and nothing will ever be the same again.
It's a heatwave in Middleton, as tempers and temperatures run hot allover the city! In the white-hot heat, normally minor conflicts betweenneighbors turn deadly at the drop of a hat! Can John Jones and the Mar-tian cool things down before Middleton erupts into chaos?
The best non Absolute Batman comic by miles.
The General’s search for Batman and Robin’s true identities comes to Wayne Man-or’s doorsteps! Can the dynamic duo find a way to repel the General’s forces andstill keep their identities secret?!
George, you nailed it beautifully. To me, it's investigatory nature feels more front and centre than most other modern Batman comics. You make a good point, due to its brevity with three issues - we got more frequent mysteries, resulting in more detective elements. The art is beautiful. It adds a grit that really fleshes out its mystery vibe.
I like the art. It shows a lot of potential. From a story perspective this is one of the lesser issues in the run so far.
The competition between the Ultrons kicks into high gear as the West Coast Avengers finally take on the Church of Ultron! And as they battle Ultron's loyal followers, another threat looms - what's Flag-Smasher been up to in prison?
Rated T+
I don’t know. This just isn’t working for me. I kind of find it boring.
New Genesis has fallen, and the New Gods have found themselves without a home.Their fates have sent them to Earth, a planet with its own inhabitants, protectors,and immortals. Will these Gods without a world be welcomed to Earth as refugeesor rejected as invaders?
Pretty good. The third or fourth best Bat book right now.
Batman and the Penguin have found themselves unlikely allies on a mission thathas taken them out of Gotham and into an entirely unexpected new location! Buteven with their powers combined, will they be able to unravel the sinister schemesof a (literally) bloodthirsty immortality cult?
