Vandal Savage makes his move against Batman and Robin, Bruce Wayne tries to make amends, and the Riddler makes his play for arguably the most important item in all of Gotham. Fraction and Jiménez take things to a whole new level as their thrilling new run on Batman continues!
It's mentioned back in your review in issue 1, but the reason why Matt Fraction's writing and humor works is that it's kind of asking the meta question on whether Batman can truly change since he's DC's heavy hitters, and they really won't allow him to evolve due to the company. But it's not done in a cynical or condescending way
there's moments of levity that shows Matt Fraction is at least having fun and not taking some inspiration from Morrison's works. Damian kicking Bruce in the balls. Bernard and Bruce's relationships. I am not a big fan of slow burns, but Matt Fraction does it well, and he just makes Bruce Wayne feel more human. We all know how Bruce Wayne is all serious and brooding who doesn't joke, but writers forget that Bruce Wayne can be funny in his own way. This feels like a 1960s Batman in the modern era

The Battle of Kansas has begun as the tanks of Lazarus Corp come rolling down the streets of Smallville. Haunted and weakened from the horrors he suffered at the hands of Brainiac and Ra’s al Ghul, Superman wages a last desperate fight for everything and everyone he has come to hold dear!
Jeff rocked this. DC is killing it with these new Year One stories.
No, DC are just killing it in general. Marvel comics is pitiful comparatively.

Holy peak, Batman. Let me get this out of the way really quickly. Harren and McClaren both did really good jobs here and I liked what they gave us here. That said, Johnson knocked it out of the park with the main story. That story, on its own, gets a 10/10 for me. Warren and McClaren's stories were just gravy. Batman hitting a One Winged Angel was just insane and I loved it so much. The story as a more

Some of the biggest names in comics take a turn in the Absolute Universe! Daniel Warren Johnson and James Harren tell tales from Absolute Batman’s early days! How did Bruce acquire his batmobile? And what was it like for Black Mask’s party animals when Batman first hit the scene?
Oh, I've been anticipating that happening since the book was first announced. Luckily, the averages I've seen, so far, are great. Hateful people won't be able to hold down how great this book is.
What's honestly crazy is DWJ is on par or very near consistent with how Scot Snyder's writing is for Absolute Batman. I will dare even say this is my favorite annual of all time

Generally one shouldn't give just a plain 10 for a comic based on the first story.

What's the problem with James Gunn? Have I missed something? All 3 GotG movies are amongst the best super hero movies there are. Just good fun movies with heart. This - "You look like Mary Poppins!" "Is he cool?!" I'm Mary Poppins y'all! If you have a problem with Gunn after that beautiful slice of comedy, I have but one question for you...who hurt you? Also the Snyderverse is dead. Please tell me that isn't why you hate him.
Zack Snyder is a hack, so is James Gunn. I hate James Gunn because he has no respect to source material and screws up my favourite characters. And you should fuck off weirdo. No one cares about the Snyder/Gunn shit.

Finally, an event focused on Superman! The story isn’t overly complex, but let’s be honest: Snyder really knows how to build hype, deliver big moments, and hook you from the start without letting go. The tournament concept is simple, even very shonen-like, but super effective. I was a bit lost at first, especially with the Time Trapper, since I hadn’t followed the other DC events and comics, more

Is it better than the prior issue? I liked issue one. Didn’t really care for issue two, with the exception of the depiction of Batman.
I love it all man, thought the last issue was magic. I am a bit biased as an Ice Cream Man fan. I just love Black Label non continuity stories that do their own thing. The weirdness, the strange Sci-fi and the avant story telling - all my bag. Anyone into any of that, that digs DC - I give this entire run my recommendation.
