I think I like this run more than Scott Snyder New 52 Batman, and that is high praise. This run, Morrison Batman Incorporated, and Scott Snyder Batman run showed how Batman had the perfect era in New 52

It's honestly crazy on how good this series has gotten, and how Absolute DC Universe has been firing on all cylinders. Absolute Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter are solid, and of course we got the DC Trinity. While I personally think Absolute Wonder Woman is the best, and Absolute Superman is my favorite, I can confidently say that Absolute Batman is the most entertaining and consistent more

Utterly bone chilling. An utterly wild ride with exciting reveals and crucial/consequential character moments. The most important Matches Mallone ever, I love this.

Batman vs Fries is tantamount to an exhilarating old school manga battle. The character Waylon is set to become is utterly (and absolutely) insane. The wait until the next issue is going to be hell. Comfortably my favourite more

I love your reviews by the way. Please keep them up. My commentary is normally quite brief on here but I do feel compelled to expand it as a result of my enthusiasm for the Absolute universe.

daspidaboy - May 14, 2025

Hello Motorik, I love hearing your thoughts and critiques on how Tom King and James Tynion Iv's Batman runs did not work with you, and I completely agree with you. I do think James Tynion IV's Detective Comics run was stronger. And I agree with you personally on how Grant Morrison, Scott Snyder are my favorite writers (Dennis O Neil is part of that holy trinity of best batman writers).

As a huge fan of the original comic run, this is a wonderful treat.

Very good issue, though with precious few answers as to what is happening. Only more questions. Premise seems to be intriguing, but until we start to understand what is happening, excellence will likely elude it.

Is this really as bad as people are saying?
Or perhaps, the character is so popular that it is literally impossible to please everyone?

For the mean time, I'm enjoying this. It's not DC Absolute or Ultimate Spider-Man level but I don't feel it's bad as it's being made out to be.

Who knew that if you stopped reading books that you get mad, you'll be happier than life? For me personally Spider-Man ended right after Dan Slott finished his run. Because for me, I was not a fan of Nick Spencer or Zeb Wells run. Who knows, maybe once Joe Kelly finishes this run and people praise it, I'll go back and read it. For now, I just like to read books that I enjoy.

Daspidaboy - That's it. That's the greatest mystery on here for me. Hate reading. There is an actual slew of people on here with personal vendetta's against certain writers because of their perceived political stance. These people pretend to keep reading and hate review. It's like the review bombing phenomenon. I just don't get it. Your hatred will not usher in change.

A masterpiece. How this book isn't better known is beyond me. I near wept.

Modern America disgusts me. This comic highlights that we need to work together to save our planet and the people that live in suffering. Unity. Togetherness. Helping our neighbours and fellow men and women.

Conservative America has brainwashed people into thinking these ideas are signs of weakness or more

Thanks Motorik! It always warms my heart and brightens my day when I see you write positive reviews and bash Gabe Hernandez haha. I did not know about Grant Morrison's future DC project so I'm excited. I want to ask you what is it about All Star Superman that makes it your favorite comic of all time.

daspidaboy - May 11, 2025

And if you want a good recommendation on an optimistic and hopeful Superman, I really liked Superman: All the Seasons. You should also check out Grant Morrison's Action Comics, or Geoff Johns,Joshua Williamson, and Peter J Tomasi's Superman runs when you have the time.
