-Companies and Factories leave town, leaving a lot of people without a job
-White people blame migrants who didn't do nothing
-Batman brutaly beats whites
-Priest says this is wrong
-Batman doesn't care and sets whites on fire
-Priest takes care of the wounded whites
-Batman cries at the end because he isn't living up to his father's expectation NOT because he killed a bunch of whites for no reason

Zack says that the comic is an even handed story about racists blaming others for their problems, that Batman was wrong and the priest right.
That Ned Flander republicans should be happy that a priest is presented as the moral authority.
The violence is so over the top that is not meant to be taken seriously. Other versions of Batman have used extreme force and no one complained then.
Oof, so close yet so far, Zack...

I understand that he thinks that the comic is even handed but a Batman comic should never have Batman act or be shown as evil in the first place unless the point is that he made a mistake.

All in all, I get that the point of the comic is that this Batman sucks but the problem is that this Batman sucks! It is a bad premise. No one wants a story about a Batman that sucks!

Also, if he really believes this, then why isn’t he calling out the thirsty non-readers shoving it in everyone’s face? They’re the ones claiming another victory over the “fashy chuds” (people who actually read and like Batman as a character and concept).
He doesn’t even believe his own bs, he’s just like them.

“What can I say/do to own my opponent? Nothing I’ve said/done before this matters beyond that.”
 
A post on r/comicbooks titled "Absolute Batman Annual #1 - Batman shows us how to deal with the far right" got 3,000 upvotes earlier today. The OP deleted his account 3 hours after posting lmao.

A selection of comments:

A shot at the Drinker for being absolutely correct.

No. You will never see this IRL. A redditor dressed as Batman would lose a fight to an Indian woman.

"Superheroes would take you out for wrongthink" followed by a thinly veiled Charlie Kirk reference.

The weakest people in the world are absolutely overjoyed about theoretically hurting the feelings of enemies who do not actually exist.

So I did what 98% of r/comicbooks are physically incapable of doing and actually read the book and question and the comments like this I see just proves to me none of these retards actually read the book.

The whole white supremecy thing is really just window-dressing for what the book's story actually is, that being essentially an internal critque of Absolute Batman, using the priest to point out the hypocrisy in Batman's methods, with the back half of the story clearly framing Bruce as being wrong for just chargining in and beating the shit out of these guys who by the Priest's account, are just lost young guys. Fundamentally, you could flip the script entirely, have Batman cracking the skulls of Antifia and BLM and the story doesn't change a beat.

All i keep seeing is that stupid arm panel being posted everywhere while not once have I seen the actually hard hitting parts of the story posted anywhere.

Unfortunately, personal growth and realizing your own flaws tend to be lost on redditors.

Its really not about the idea that "this Batman sucks". This comic is a prequal to the actual main series (this IS the origin of the Absolute Batmobile) and as such should be taken more as this version of Batman learning his own boundries and his own philosophy.

The only place where I'd say it doesn't work (I like the story on its own) is that its attached to the Absolute Series when it reads more like a critique of Snyder's absurd violence. Fine on its own but weird in the larger context.

>All this retarded bullshit
That's just worse.
Bruce is too much of a fucking idiot to realize who he is fighting? He's just a murderous retard?
Why call him Batman at all?
The deconstructionist bullshit is so tired, so boring, and gay now.
The true Absolute Batman should be Batman facing his entire rogues gallery, not grappling with some room temperature IQ's version of "deep" and "based".

At some point, the corporations will just pull the plug on this money pit.
 
Not as much as before. If he wants to keep what's left of his audience, he's better off mentioning it as LITTLE as possible. But yeah WAY too much has happened for him or CG to be taken seriously about it at this point.
Maybe not as much as he once did but still.
 
Batman's father is now a gigantic dumptruck?

Man, they really are taking this "you can identify as whatever you want" shit way too far now.
Remember when the pitch for Absolute Batman was that it was Batman but working class? How the fuck dose a gigantic dump truck fit into that? Did he steal it? If he stole it dosen't that instantly reveal to his company who he is?
Dose anyone know if his mother being alive plays any part in the story at all?
 
Maybe not as much as he once did but still.
Me personally I would prefer if he DIDN'T go after him at ALL. Eric July only got mad at him and responded to him once and that was over 2 years ago.....the fact EJ doesn't even give him the time of day no matter how hard DM tries at this point should be a big clue how much EJ cares about what he thinks. DM is better off going after things that matter and people he KNOWS will respond.

Pretty fucking rich for Ethan to talk about "unsellable media IPs". Where's that Cyberfrog media empire, Ethan? Where are the video games and cartoons? Why isn't Uncle Todd selling Cyberfrog figures like he's selling Isom and Yaira merch? Has Ethan forgotten that he is forever marked a toxic right wing racist? His name and his ComicsGate brand are both radioactive and will NEVER get anywhere near a mainstream audience. Hell, even the shit he's selling now isn't getting to people who actually want it.

The line about Rippaverse "coming to an end" is pure projection. Between Eric and Ethan, whose customers are getting their products in a reasonable time frame, if at all? Which business owner spends most of his free time making hours long copestreams about his competition while collecting superberries instead of actually working on his products? Which business has a better chance of "coming to an end"?

It seems like Zack is following closer to the EVS "bidness" plan of being years late on single issue floppies, launching campaigns for nothing more than ideas, and seething daily about his more successful competitors on YouTube, so why isn't Splatto Comics in better shape than Rippaverse?

He either got rejected or ignored by Eric to be part of Rippasend, he may have gotten a rippasend deal but he fucked it up by not having a book on time or EVS convince/blackmailed him.
I readily admit to being a conspiratard at heart so this makes a lot of sense to me right now. AFAIK, Zack and EVS haven't interacted publicly in years and now Zack is praising EVS' business acumen and Ethan is writing paragraphs in Zack's comments? All because of their suddenly common hatred of Eric July?

Ethan has already said there are more skeleton's in Zack's closet and his steadfast refusal to name the people holding the porn thing over Zack's head for leverage lead me to believe Ethan was one of those people. I always wondered why Zack was allowed to walk away from CG without Ethan attempting to destroy him, as he's done to everyone else who wanted to stray from the Van Sciver path. The "he's my friend" line from Ethan never once seemed plausible or likely coming from the Frog's mouth.

EVS has gone CRAZY with envy. He's so desperate for work he's trying to say Eric would do a lot better if HE was working with them. I've never seen a more OVER entitled loser in my life.
