@@markkuz23 My bet is that the Joker has taken over the league by killing Ras, but Alfred doesn't know it's happened yet. When it's revealed Alfred switches sides and joins Bruce.
Of course that's the Batmobile, because it is physically the only vehicle that this Batman could fit in. And afford. The last "Batmobile" was a public transit bus. Made it very awkward for everyone on board.
Your comments always give off a vibe of you not caring about what you're watching, but just commenting just to keep up with this whole shtick that you're everywhere.
Batfamily composed of Bruce's friends is really interesting. I always see Batman's villains having some aspect of him in various ways like Penguin represent Bruce's wealth, Riddler the intelligence aspect, Catwoman the sneakiness aspect
I've always really loved the juxtaposition of Batman's seriousness and his love and commitment to his bat aesthetic. Just a very serious Bruce, discussing the fate of the world in a Bat-themed submarine. His super important military grade satellites? Bat shaped. I love it.
12:25 EXACTLY THIS! Batman’s greatest villains become his greatest allies. Since this is set in the ABSOLUTE universe, I wouldn’t mind those subversions from the mainstream universe.
With this, I wonder what would happen to Batman’s greatest allies? Like, could Barbara become two-face (given her connection to law enforcement) or something like that. Could be cool
I love how when Batman destroys the fish tank to distract the Party Animals, he makes sure to impact the glass in such a way that it leaves water in the tank for the fish.
Okay, my theory on what's going on: Joker's behind all this. He's funding Black Mask and giving him and The Party Animals all this tech so they can test it for him so he can perfect it before selling it all off. Gotham is basically his private testing grounds. That's probably also why Alfred is there. He's giving information to his bosses, who probably report directly to Joker.
Having Batman's villains help him fight crime is too good of an opportunity to pass up; while I don't know if they will directly help via punching or kicking baddies, each one shown has their finger on the pulse of the 'arenas' they are a part of and can help Bat's piece together a plan: -Penguin's (The Underworld) -Two-Face (Political Echelon) -Killer Croc (The Streets) -Riddler (Technology/Data)
I too INSANELY DESPERATELY hope that the "Villains" become this AU's version of the Bat-Family. That would be the coolest thing *ever*. And this AU is already really fuckin cool.
Rock Truck...not bulldozer. Much bigger than what is currently running through your mind. The plow on the front is totally aftermarket. That truck right there runs over a monster truck like a monster truck runs over cars.
Got to see one of those during a school trip to a rock quarry and cement plant... You could have put six of the biggest bulldozers you've ever seen in the back of that monster, with room to spare. To get in, the driver had to climb up like 20 feet of ladder and walk in a door that wouldn't have been out of place as a maintenance door on an office building.
batman's villians using their skills to fight evil is something I would have never expected and I agree it would be cool and an interesting way to further display the differences between this absolute series and other batman series
Honestly, it would be cool to see some of Batman’s greatest villains become superheroes like him because Catwoman is technically a hero but the rest of them would be cool to see as heroes alongside Batman
NGL, Rob, but this Ghetto Street Batman is a lot more scarier, a lot more brutal, and a WHOLE LOT MORE TERRIFYING than his original counterpart here. In fact, I don’t think that there even IS a comparison. THEY’RE BOTH INCREDIBLY SCARY AND INCREDIBLY BRUTAL TO ME, MAN!!!!!!!!!! Also, Absolute Catwoman at the very end? SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!
The absolute Batmobile is badass as hell! And seeing Bruce talking and socializing with his future villains that are his childhood friends is so tragically beautiful and I love all of it! I wonder what absolute catwoman will be like? Maybe she’ll be born in riches like maybe about of the court of owls but secretly fights against them or something like that who knows but I can’t wait to see it. The absolute universe is still going strong!
Bruce meeting with this friends and playing poker reminds be of when he disguised himself and did that at his villains poker game. I also imagine him and everyone lived in like the same apartment complex to where he could just yell out the window talking to Riddler or Penguin
I really hope they don't re-write this again. I am kind of burnt out re reading these over and over again but I digress - this is indeed absolutely brilliant.
Thats not a bulldozer, thats a haul truck. Most haul trucks are bigger than most houses, some are truly gigantic. Batmans looks relatively small, probably 50ft tall and 50ft long, weighing around 20 tons with 4000 horsepower, and thats stock so you know his is even more badass
It is easy to see why you like it man. It is batman in nature but the relationships still show him fighting but not to far from everyone as he always seems to want to be. And thus a cool take.
@comicsexplained It really feels like this entire absolute universe is a layout for a redo for the DCEU. Give them an actual universe they can toy with so the diehard fans don’t get pissed.
The thing that bugged me about this issue, and just the relationship between Batman and Jim Gordon, is that Jim talks about Batman, and then in the next sentence talks about Bruce's accident. He says he thinks about it every DAY. That accident where the kid got traumatized by bats and grew up terrified of everything? Gee, I wonder who Batman could be? Really hard to figure that one out, isn't it?
Yk, our main man probably isn't going to see this, but I love your content. You are amazing for what you do and how you do it. Best comic book channel on RUclips by far.
@@TwenteeEight If you were in Bruce's position would you be doing it? (Also they're implying that the tech in the helmets is the think making people do this, AKA brainwashing)

Now I haven't had the chance to see much of ASuperman or AWounder Woman but so far I'm with Rob on it man it looks amazing and its an intersting take on Bruce as a whole, lets see how far they took Mr.J.....
I like how Absolute Batman almost has a Punisher kind of flavor to it (the grittiness & the extra-hostilities between factions; Gotham public, GCPD, & Batman).
Hey Rob, could the poker game be a nod to the episode Almost Got Im?
Yeah but no one hit him with a rock…

I love the idea of a bat family from the rough life
None of em really clean but all of em fighting to protect Gotham in their own way
I can imagine Nightwing as an acrobatic, charismatic, sexy B-tier villain who operates in both Blüdhaven and Gotham.

THE NONLETHAL BATDOZER

It's an ore mining dump truck!
777D to be precise.
@brentdailey1933 Does it not haul mining ore tho and tell ROB!?!?
It's a bulldozer now boys!!!
It's a haul truck.
Love how rob comes up with the idea of the rouges becoming the new family and then hyping everyone about too 😂 it would be amazing tho
It would awesome
Im going to call Darkseid a chef with all the cooking he is doing for creating this universe.
i like how he crawls in the ceiling with his cape like a real bat
Construction worker here, it’s more similar to a mining truck then a bulldozer, dozers don’t usually get that big
