    “Privilege no more”
    They should change his logo to a hammer and sickle. The more you described it the more I realized this is Marxist Batman.
    Batman is a cross between a Sherlock Holmes and a ninja when written correctly.
    The worse quote about Batman in the past 40 years was “He has such wonderful toys!” That was NEVER the main way Batman won.
    A well written Batman DOESN’T NEED toys. He’s the smartest man in the room 90% of the time. It’s his intellect and fighting skills that make him dangerous.

    Saying "Bruce is a big dude because he doesn't have to wear tuxedos" doesn't make sense to me either. Batman is 6'-2" and weighs around 220-230 lbs. That makes him about the same size as some men who have carried the UFC Heavyweight Championship. He's already a big dude.
    I think Scott's just coming up with silly ideas to make him the size of Brian Shaw or Halfthor Bjornnson.

    To make the most ABSOLUTE Batman ever, we've stripped Batman down to his essence:
    He has no money
    He's no longer a detective.
    He has no privileges.
    He has no job or income.
    He doesn't wear a bat costume.
    He doesn't live in Gotham.
    He no longer fights crime.
    Because what's more ABSOLUTE than absolutely nothing?

    When will DC realize that fanfiction that feels like it's been written by people who have never read a book is not sustainable? They constantly hire filmmakers that want to rewrite everything, and for the last decade or more, comic writers who want to rewrite everything. DC has great characters, that I've loved for almost 4 decades now, but you wouldn't know it, because they constantly try to change literally everything about the characters. Superheroes are special. They're unique. Anyone can't be them. Christopher Nolan got that wrong. Anyone can be a hero, but not everyone can be Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Captain America, etc.
    The suit isn't what makes Batman who he is. The gadgets don't. Any idiot can dress up and SAY he's Batman, but we know Bruce Wayne. His arc, his life, his supporting cast, his connection with each of them, his personal investment in certain villains (being an ally of Harvey Dent, before he was scared, Ra's al Ghul wanting him to be his successor, and so on). Bruce Wayne is what drives Batman. Once you start removing elements, or passing the gimmick around, it ceases to be Batman. It's someone cosplaying as Batman.
    Even though I grew up loving DC, and Batman in particular, I'm not spending a cent on this.

    'Having money is bad' - which is why comic creators always work for free (another standard rule in modern comics - you didn't know that, either? Come on, man, get with it).
    Tony Stark isn't the only genius in comics - Bruce Wayne is up there, too. His intelligence has been brought up often, typically on par or just below someone like Lex Luthor. So, we'll see. I hope it's good.

      @@rosswilson8917 I'm praying it's not too awful right now. I'm willing to mentally suspend some things in comics or just make the assumption that a story is a single arc in a vacuum (for my sanity's sake). We all know that comics, due to being in the hands of way too many damn writers, have consistency problems (not that I'm happy with it, it's just always been that way, sadly). As long as his changes aren't too wild a departure from what Batman is supposed to be, I think I can swallow the pill. If it's too bitter though..

    So it looks like this book in reversing the typical Batman standing, if he's supposed to be an agent of order.
    What would it look like if he was an agent of chaos?

    Something told me that they were going to do some stupid nonsense like this with the character this is why I prefer reading the older Batman comics over the newer stuff honestly DC needs to fire the current writers and artists that they have because these people that they have hired are nothing more than a bunch of activists that are wanted to push their stupid political agendas in these comics they need to bring in people that have respect for these characters and their history including the source material itself stop hiring activists that don't know jack s*** about these characters

    Batman being rich is kind of a part of what makes what he does noble. They don't call him the dark knight for nothing. He's a noble patron who takes it upon himself to protect the innocent among those of lower status in his domain. The idea that a wealthy person would be good is anathema to leftists, so it's no surprise that the concept of Batman is lost on these people.

    That Absolute Wonder Woman art looks like something from an indie/underground comic from the 1970s. It REALLY doesn't fit Diana, at all. As for Kelly Thompson, if she likes Diana and is an actual fan she'll do well (like on Mr & Mrs X, which you could tell was a labor of love for her). If not, well, it's going to be ... not great.

    That's what we're going to find out. If you strip away the things that have defined Batman for 80 years, is he still Batman? It's good they got a big name on this book, because otherwise, I wouldn't be too confident. I have a bit more faith in Jason Aaron on Superman because he's done good work before, but that Wonder Woman book feels DOA.

    Earth One Batman sucked as a detective to point he asked for training. All Star Batman was sadistically brutal to Robin. White Knight Batman just WTF!? New 52 come across like a elseworld Batman. I didn't keep any of those books as a new reader. Batman has a way about him that is laced into the pop culture ethos. Absolute Batman will not bring in the normies, because he his unrecognizable to the normies who need a easy familar in. I can't see this generating new fans?

    Could say the same thing, about Oliver Queen, when it comes to privilege. It just wouldn't be the same guy, the same
    motivations.
    And I think with Bruce, That yes, it had a lot to do, with two traumatic moments in his life. But it was also a lot about, his relationship with his parents. I'm just being hypothetical here, and this is just my opinion, but, I think he loved his parents, more than he loves his money, or his legacy. I think if you removed the money from the equation, but the family bond was still there, you'ld end up,with a very similar Bruce. The only real difference here, is he doesn't need to be a detective, he lives among the players. Just my two cents
    Sorry! Let me be clear, was just giving my two cents, on what you outlined. Not on the actual story. Haven't read it..!

    After hearing Marvel was bringing back Ultimate I was really excited to get a reboot to loose some baggage, i was going to buy monthly for the first time. And then everything was different. Not bad but different. The stories still had interesting questions to ask, but my disappointment still stands.
    Now dc was getting its own reboot universe, I was just as excited as I was before. Then I saw Superman. Not that big a deal. But then I saw Batman. And the more I hear about this Batman, I have to wonder, why this isn’t just a one off else worlds. I cannot see this book going on for a long time, not because it’s a bad concept per se, but it’s not really like batman. The people this story is going to appeal to, are people that don’t read comics. The people that think batman goes too easy on his villains, or that him being rich is bad, they aren’t reading the books, they’re casual. And unfortunately most casual fans aren’t actually buying books. So I have to ask, who are these books for?

In fact, we need the Punisher. The real Punisher back with the no grills simple skull, the super big guns, the trench coat and no mercy. It's fun to have bad guy superheroes.

    I was thinking about this the other day . Im not sure what to think about this when I look at this batman , i see things and elements that could be woke in this batmans Incarnation and creation but also i see a really cool story that isnt woke . There are some cool sides here I dont like him Not being a detective he can be broke and still be intelligent enough to be a detective I mean he Has a symbiote programmable cape in this story so if he can program his cape than he can be a detective, but on the other hand maybe he just doesn't use detective methods. maybe this batman uses more brute raw power like a mix of Raphael and a little Donatello instead of like usually being a raph , leo and donnie combined type of batman (TMNT analogy ) you could take that as maybe an anti /defund the police type allegory but maybe it isn't again its an alternate universe so im not bothered by the changes and im still gonna read it .but over all i think dc may have done this because the batman copy right expires in the next couple of years and they need a new batman to print that has a new copy right i think thats what really going in here honestly.
