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.
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
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.
@@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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Just to let you know, the pronunciation of the word "Lajes" was spot on! Speaking as a Portuguese speaker from Brazil. And regarding asbestos, we call it "amianto" here. It’s still commonly found in many old and low-income houses around here.
I was waiting for this. Absolute Universe is killing it so far. If/when the characters all meet and team up it's going to be really interesting. I feel like Bruce and Clark are going to be brothers in arms right off the bat(no pun intended).
It’s WAY too early to call, but Absolute Supes is already looking to be my favorite variant. I’ve never really cared for Clark growing up, but this version has my hopes really high already
This is a very clever way of changing aspects of characters we all know and love but change their origins all the same. Superman essentially in Kara's shoes this time around, Louis in the military. It would be wild if Jimmy in the Absolute universe would be the right hand man to Lex Luthor lol
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.
I wonder if Diamonds have a similar thing to gold- y'see, gold has a "DNA" that is tracked by the company running the mine. You can steal away gold, sure. But if you try to sell the gold, it's DNA tracks it back to the source mine/quarry, and the company knows what appears where.
Even though i would love to say they exaggerated in the earth part but that is almost a textbook depiction of how ilegal mines in the amazon rainforest opperate (minus the high tech stuff) , i wonder if they got any Brazilian working on this series to give such a deep inside , but still it is amazing how close they done
I can see the Absolute universe ending in three years after a crossover with the main Earth. It’s an unnaturally made universe compared to every other one.
You would hope asbestos is totally gone but there are thousands and thousands of older buildings that are still filled with the stuff. It’s fine if it’s dormant but it’s kinda like sleeping over a ticking bomb hoping nobody knocks it over. A lil bit of exaggeration but still that stuff is killer
I wonder, with that flare up he has at the end, is the suit really the source of his power or is he still a traditionally super-powered charged by the sun superman except he needs the suit to keep himself contained. Like a physical manifestation of classic supermans mental limiter.
Been waiting for this..u or variant (sorry)... only one random channel I inly saw by searching absolute superman, had a full breakdown, but I could just tell that that wasn't his forté cuz I listened twice yesterday and still had some confusion.... My anticipation caused me to forget a long time standing YT truth: Only rely on ROB when u need.... COMICS EXPLAINED (or variant, sorry. Again 😂, but u 2 guys were my OGs...FWIW, i still cant remember his name off the top of my head...now, i juat call comics explained "LEMME SEE WHAT ROB HAS TO SAY.... that's gold standard steez)
@7:46 Maybe I missed something somewhere... but those guards are wearing the same style of uniform as Peacemaker. Same Helm, same chest insignia... would like to hear more about this some time.
Darksied Absolute Universe is Brutal and Epic I guess all we need was a little Darksied Magic to give High Octane Stories;Also Rob I think Superman New Suit is a Variant of The Eradicator due to text speech
Rob's hotel voice sounds like he's telling me about the sexy single superheroes in my area
😂😂😂😂😂
Spider woman 🙏
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
You don’t sound locked in g
The absolute universe looking like it's gonna be a wild ride
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.
Only problem is some of the are delusional and don’t know what’s good.
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.

you call this an interesting story
this has MAN OF STEEL level of boredom
The DC Absolute Universe is honestly one of the wildest and most interesting ideas they’ve done in a minute
Absolute Universe and the new Ultimate comics have been amazing. Comic fans we eatin good.
I know Darkseid unconsciously made this universe, but when it came to Superman, I like to think he went "...Hehe yeah boi..."
😂😂😂
💀
Darkseid was like I'm about to nerf this man
Darkseid cooked so hard..
😂😂😂
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.
He’ll have a new Most powerful Ever something, before you know it.
@@CorbCorbinyeah likely, but we're here to relish this humility right now
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
Now we need a Catwoman yoruichi 😂

Yea definitely getting Champion of the Oppressed vibes so far.
Love this alternate origin for the Man Of Steel! A Brazillian Superman?! Absolutely Amazing!! And Soldier Lois Lane looks badass! Want to see more.
He is not Brazilian he is just here now
He is not Brazilian that's where he crash landed
@@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.
@DominiccHernandez ahhhhhh interesting I do hope the Kent's are still alive or like they're a thing in this universe
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

I got admit that other than the good version of injustice Superman suit this is my second favorite Superman suit in the comics
Its a really cool look
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.
Basically giving the origin of Supergirl to Superman
@@biorobot2 yup except his parents are low class while in the prime universe all the Els House is basically wealthy.
Can’t believe how good this came out!
Comics are taking a more proletariat turn and i am absolutely here for it
I didn't hear you say, *"Maaan let me tell you something",* but this story didn't disappoint.
Wow 😊
@@turtleanton6539imagine hearing all this through a hotel wall, I’d bang on the wall and be like then what happened bro ?!
@pl-boostcreep yea bang on the wall and whisper "is that you Rob"
Superman in this story is basically a working class super hero, from humble beginnings.
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.
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.
To think that the absolute universe was designed and created by Darkside.. dude literally cooked fire 🔥🔥🔥
Definitely one of the best things DC has ever done with their continuity. Shoutout to Spectre Darkseid.
“most brutal Superman ever”
Injustice Supes: “hold my beer”
Injustice Superman is overrated imo
@ still more brutal tho
This superman seems like it may be eaiser to translate to a video game once the story ramps up
I'm still waiting for you to cover Absolute Wonder Woman.
As a Brazilian, I love when we're featured on comic books
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.
New 52 Superman was my 2nd favorite version😅, next to Rebirth Superman, husband to Lois & father of Johnathan
CANNOT WAIT FOR ISSUE 2!! let’s go dc! Y’all killing it
Zack Snyder: FUCK, THIS IS WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE.
People would've still hated it for being "too dark" and not comic accurate
He's going to become the herald of Darkseid😂
I love the detail of the guards at the mine being "Peace makers" I find that super cool
This video is awesome! I’m hooked for real!
The thumbnails are legit! Thanks Rob
Just to let you know, the pronunciation of the word "Lajes" was spot on! Speaking as a Portuguese speaker from Brazil. And regarding asbestos, we call it "amianto" here. It’s still commonly found in many old and low-income houses around here.
A quiet subdued Rob, never thought I would see the day. 😅
Looks dope ngl 😊
Been waiting for this Rob🫦
He's also called the big blue boyscout.
I was waiting for this. Absolute Universe is killing it so far. If/when the characters all meet and team up it's going to be really interesting. I feel like Bruce and Clark are going to be brothers in arms right off the bat(no pun intended).
Superman - The Working Man
This superman is peak cinema 🚬🚬🚬
Lara Lor-Van rocking those Eradicator shades.
Rob with the bass voice!!!
I knew it was gonna be good,thats the best rendering of a non traditional style Superman ever
Darkseid’s Absolute universe is amazing!
Top 20 most powerful DC characters hierarchy please.
"and dont forget to subscribe so you never miss my Smexy boice " lol
Super deep voice rob 10/10
YES!!! Was waiting for this
It’s WAY too early to call, but Absolute Supes is already looking to be my favorite variant. I’ve never really cared for Clark growing up, but this version has my hopes really high already
Your channel is a source of inspiration and enjoyment. Keep it up, you're doing a great job!🐝🧡🤑
1:12 “No! I’m part of the science team!” Immediately popped in my head
Dude it just came out, give us a day.
The guards at the mine all being peacemaker themed is hilarious
Super interesting take.... like actually good work DC
"absolute Superman is the best thing coming out of of Absolute DC right now" -- Rob probably
❤🎉
I really thought Rob got a cold or something due to how he sounded. Still this Absolute series is amazing!
This is a very clever way of changing aspects of characters we all know and love but change their origins all the same. Superman essentially in Kara's shoes this time around, Louis in the military. It would be wild if Jimmy in the Absolute universe would be the right hand man to Lex Luthor lol
Amazing content per usualll
On Absolute Superman's Krypton, farmers don't pray for rain, they have to pay for rain.
The Absolute "universe" have started to become one of my favorite DC Comics universe
The absolute series is awesome! Can’t wait for you to cover wonder women’s
Hotel Room Rob w/the low rumble. Upload couldn't have came @ a better time
Excellent narrator bro.
i liked new 52 but i also liked the merger lol
Hope we get Rob covering Absolute Wonder Woman. That Diana feels like she a step away from taking the Kratos path with the Olympians.
This first issue is so good!!
They should have an animated series or Film based on This.
These absolute stories are so fire! 😩
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.
I wonder if Diamonds have a similar thing to gold- y'see, gold has a "DNA" that is tracked by the company running the mine. You can steal away gold, sure. But if you try to sell the gold, it's DNA tracks it back to the source mine/quarry, and the company knows what appears where.
Absolute universe might be my new favorite.
The hotel is the one place you can absolutely scream ..IYKYK
im not gonna lie.......I FUCKING LOVE THIS ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN
This is the Superman I want to play on film.
That black superman suit with the firey lava arm bands, that goes crazy!!! That blue suit can r.i.p. the absolute superman suit is badass
I wanna see krypto get obliterated for a change... Remember this is darkseid's universe.
Less-loud Rob was most enjoyable, imo. Nice one.
Man you been on too much fire 🔥 lately
WTF this shit looks crazy
Superman comics are ABSOLUTE PEAK
Yeee😊
Even though i would love to say they exaggerated in the earth part but that is almost a textbook depiction of how ilegal mines in the amazon rainforest opperate (minus the high tech stuff) , i wonder if they got any Brazilian working on this series to give such a deep inside , but still it is amazing how close they done
6:15 Seeing my first name in a Superman comic... guess I better pick this one up.
I think I like the absolute universe better than the original.
The return of "sexy voice Rob"😂
Your videos are more than just entertainment, they are a true source of inspiration and knowledge.♀️🐷🍌
I can see the Absolute universe ending in three years after a crossover with the main Earth. It’s an unnaturally made universe compared to every other one.
"The League of Middle Management". I'd rather be a farmer.
Never been a DC guy, some Bats and Supes, just a Marvel dude. This story feels like I might give at least Jason Aaron's DC work a try.
Said good bye to my dog recently don't hurt the dogs😢 nice video good story fresh looking forward to more cheers
You would hope asbestos is totally gone but there are thousands and thousands of older buildings that are still filled with the stuff. It’s fine if it’s dormant but it’s kinda like sleeping over a ticking bomb hoping nobody knocks it over. A lil bit of exaggeration but still that stuff is killer
3:16 They changed his family crest and who they were just to make this Superman I’m hold judgment for now
More absolute origins!!!
My father worked in the mines, making the man rich, for not enough pay
I wonder, with that flare up he has at the end, is the suit really the source of his power or is he still a traditionally super-powered charged by the sun superman except he needs the suit to keep himself contained. Like a physical manifestation of classic supermans mental limiter.
I don’t like Superman being weaker but this was a cool spin on the character
Been waiting for this..u or variant (sorry)... only one random channel I inly saw by searching absolute superman, had a full breakdown, but I could just tell that that wasn't his forté cuz I listened twice yesterday and still had some confusion....
My anticipation caused me to forget a long time standing YT truth:
Only rely on ROB when u need....
COMICS EXPLAINED
(or variant, sorry. Again 😂, but u 2 guys were my OGs...FWIW, i still cant remember his name off the top of my head...now, i juat call comics explained "LEMME SEE WHAT ROB HAS TO SAY.... that's gold standard steez)
When I first saw the Batman and Wonder woman absolute designs... I thought they'd do a non-science Krypton. Like a barbarian magic d&d style.
Can't wait for the WW video
@7:46
Maybe I missed something somewhere... but those guards are wearing the same style of uniform as Peacemaker. Same Helm, same chest insignia... would like to hear more about this some time.
Bro needs to cover Absolute Wonder Woman
Absolute universe may be my favorite if flash, MM, and GL end up just as good
Rob, everything's amazing to you lol.
Darksied Absolute Universe is Brutal and Epic I guess all we need was a little Darksied Magic to give High Octane Stories;Also Rob I think Superman New Suit is a Variant of The Eradicator due to text speech
