If it makes you feel any better, Benny and Sal from Comic Pop both knew about the concept of the absolute universe years before it was announced. Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson had been thinking about doing something like it since 2019 and Benny told on a stream a few months ago that Scott pulled Benny and Sal aside at a comic con a couple years ago and told them that he’s working on an “ultimate universe for DC”. I’m sure he would have loved it so much. R.I.P Benny.
You missed one key aspect. Jor El and Lara are still geniuses and SHOULD have been in the Science Guild. They rocked the boat so got punished for it which is why they wear the S with pride. They stood for their beliefs while taking their punishment.
I mean we effectively already have that, just not in name, there are social allegiances in every structure, in companies it happens to be between management echelons. As we head towards monopoly, and we are well on the road to that in most industries (meaning that one day it will likely be ALL industry under one monopoly or at the most a handful if regulations are not imposed to prevent it) with the rise of extremely powerful multinational corporations, there likely will eventually be a global league of middle managers With the Kryptonian society in the Absolute Universe they at least have the scientists at the top (even if they are extremely dogmatic and unable to consider anything outside said dogma) because we have middle management at every level, or at least people who should be middle management at best in positions with far more power than they can handle.
This new alternate Superman and alternate Krypton for this new universe is both intriguing AND a call-back to back when Superman's epithet was "Champion of the Oppressed". I suspect the Kents were put out of business and had to sell their farm thanks to industry scaled farming. They may still be alive. I hope Krypto is still alive, but at least this isn't the Jojo universe, where extreme cruelty to dogs is some kind of universal law.
God Araki took the "Kick the dog" trope to extremely literal heights😭😭😭 granted he's an animal lover and only did it to show how irredeemably devious a villain was but still lmao
@@Theuglyconcretefinisherbecause the ultra capitalist won and literally anything that comes from capitalism is more pain to the workers. Can't explain it in a simpler way than the more capitalist you go the more you work the less you earn that's the way baby.
This new universe is proof that comic writers should be allowed to rework pre-established lore as much as they want, as long as the end result is a good, interesting, and engaging story.
A little like they did with The Spider? An archer superhero, some time ago his backstory was changed and how he did things. It was kinda interesting what they did in that Shade comic.
@@marka7150and that is why they have to hire good writers just like any comic. Dc surely knows how to do that. They just don't know WTF to do with movies.
The only reason it's interesting is because it's altering the original story. Retconing the base story will destroy the story. Look at Doctor Who for proof.
It's cool that Jason Aaron went back to the root of Superman in the originals stories from the 30s and 40s where he began. Grounded in being close to the people he is fighting for. That DNA is all over this. Love it.
Asbestos was used in insulation and fireproofing materials i.e. car brakes,wallboards,roof sheets and flooring tiles and as Rob said it was outlawed when it was linked to miners as well as any workers handling the material getting cancer. Shout out to Rob for the history lesson.
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.
3:52 i love it The creator of the comic is basically giving respect to us young people who come from working families who make their way through the world with just their two hands and with that I fell in love with the concept of this new Superman. He is not a perfect boy from a noble rich family, but rather a boy from a low-caste family, but that does not make them any less noble. for the first time I feel included in something
It’s great to see Superman grounded. It reminds me of how we rarely saw him go street level in the past and how characters like Steel called him out on that.
7:18 They used to use asbestos in kids playgrounds. Like how they have sandboxes that kids play in, it used to be asbestos boxes that kids would play in.
Oh my god they just turned all the kryptonians into viltramites. I fucking love this shit dude. On top of it they gave him Chad's punch from bleach. This is just Chad from bleach and now he's Superman
@@DominiccHernandez no because the dark aspect can now counter by "he was born from darksied energy" rather dark for the sake of being dark, this absolute Superman being dark ,make sense ;but in this issue hes not even that grim like Snyder decision to let superman father died, Superman can easily save him, no one gonna see him, literally a hurricane is happening, bro gonna be blurry as hell when flying.
The first few minutes of this makes Krypton more interesting to me than ever before. Turning the symbol of hope proudly adorned by family into a symbol of indignity forced upon the lower class is such a cool turn. A "man of steel" for us is just a steelworker for them.
I’ve always kept to collecting cards, playing games and watching YT videos. This is the first time I’ve ever genuinely wanted to go to a comic store and grab an entire series. Absolute Superman and Absolute Batman look INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
His main villain has always been a capitalist-Lex Luthor. Superman was created for the working class which was then watered down in the following decades. This is a return to form.
Rob did you do absolute Wonder Woman? I don’t think you did? Damn this is a great story! Hope being the underdog makes Superman’s triumphs matter so much more better! The absolute trinity is now complete!
The take on empathy being used as a weapon while it is for a small increased profit margin was awesome brother, it has some real life event (plural, actually, since keeping people starved and keeping production cost a little lower is a recurring thing through history up to this day) merit. Cheers big guy!
Brooo, NGL... the voice change made my heart skip a beat for a second there... IYKYK. Glad it wasn't what I was thinking bro, thanks for the new video! 💯🙌🏾
One cool detail/Easter egg I noticed from the comic, was with Lara-EL wearing a pair of golden glasses that reminded of The Eradicator. It's a small detail once I found out, and it's very neat 😄
I like that they took the aspect of being the man of the people (he was adopted by farmers) and made it more deeply rooted in his origin. Also, u should really cover Power Fantasy. It scratches the itch that the Hickman's X-Men left.
I think the simplest explanation for the depletion in solar energy is that he did not grow up on earth. OG superman had his entire life of passively absorbing solar radiation, this superman doesnt have it so his cells are nowhere near as saturated.
@@Jowanji He didn't crash land in Brazil either, they mention the same incident happening in Botswana which is in Africa and Dharavi which is located in India, so he's just going around the world helping miners who are under the contract of the Lazarus Corp.
He says he's been on Earth for years and been traveling around the world. He's just in Brazil at the start of this comic because he never stays in one place too long. He's a wandering hero. We don't know his age or when he arrived either..
This. This is how Red Son Superman should have been written. Superman who is not only conscious of the struggle between the working and owning class, but stands with the workers.
Red Sun's whole point was to show his connection with Luthor really. Since Clark didn't go through just Space in Red Sun but TIME. That Earth became Krypton, Lex and Clark are related
14:45 I like this concept of him having to charge up gives a little window of vulnerability which would make him a little more in my opinion relatable… him being OP at all times and still getting caught off guard or downplaying himself to feel like everyone else to feel better about themselves It's like a slap in the face…
Thank you ROB, COMICS EXPLAINED has been a big help, more than you know to help me push through in my own tough times. Thanks for showing us how to keep our heads up. 🤙
Good question. I’m gonna say Marvels Apocalypse mainly because they weren’t really power slashed like the absolute universe maybe , but then again most of the mutants in Apocalypse aren’t as powerful as their counterparts either. Could go either way honestly. Starting to think maybe DCEU.
I got heavily into comics about 5 years ago and never was that interested in Superman till now. This story is "amazing". Thanks again Rob for the much needed distraction from the real world.
Hello Rob here in a hotel and presume using a mic and the whole vid was like you where talking in my ear Rob. Freeking great dude. Do it more often. Totally got into it.
Cosmic Armor Superman isn’t Clark Kent Superman, it’s a robot built to protect the multiverse. The strongest version of CK is Golden Superman, who stayed in the sun for a million years absorbing solar radiation. And Superman is not as fast as the Flash, all those races were for charity.
Flash has the Speed Force that's why he's super fast. Yet Supes legit blitzing the universe and breaking the source wall. Speed to Speed they've damn near even.
You say 'primitive' Superman but, a man that can look at systems of inequality and know when to step in to prevent harm before it starts, instead of just punching the result is pretty intelligent...Not at all primitive
I am already loving this story line. With depth to Superman that makes him interesting and not really overpowered. You can already see how the dynamic between Lois and Supes gonna play, and that's a refresher from Lois being a damsel. I might be getting this comic series
Just a heads up; Asbestos isn't banned entirely. It's still used in some products. Like brake pads on automobiles. And in some chalkboards. There are some products out there still using it but considered low risk.

The DC Absolute Universe is honestly one of the wildest and most interesting ideas they’ve done in a minute
im loving all three titles so far
Much better than slapping batman on any and everything

It really is -- I'm squarely in the Marvel camp but I haven't been this interested in a DC story since The Button and Doomsday Clock

Who would win if DCEU Superman and Apocalypse from X Men Apocalypse fight each other?
Good question. I’m gonna say Marvels Apocalypse mainly because they weren’t really power slashed like the absolute universe maybe , but then again most of the mutants in Apocalypse aren’t as powerful as their counterparts either. Could go either way honestly.
Starting to think maybe DCEU.
Superman, different power scaling.
Suprman stomps.. in a direct fight
Apocalypse is overall just long lived, yet overall he's not that strong compared to what's out there in Marvel. So Supes wins, Apoc isn't a Doomsday
