It looks like the new Batman book “ Absolute Batman “ might be the top seller of 2024. Why does he look like the Hulk in a Batman suit ? Steroids...even Batman is "on the gas." One would think a superhero known for his acrobatic prowess would need a lithe figure. Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan aren't exactly Schwarzeneggers, after all. |

It is. I actually read it and the look was toned down inside the book.

I saw one review that made it look eye-rollingly stupid. I've heard from a number of people whose opinions I trust (mostly old CBRians) who say it's the best Batman comic in a very very long time. Now that's not a high bar, but still. That said I have very little interest in super-hero funnybooks any more. |

What was your opinion of it, now that you've read it? |

It's not my thing either, but clearly a lot of people love it. The original art (42 pages, six covers) sold out the very minute it went on sale. The #1 cover sold for $70,000.

Horrific disfigurement or not, this guy could star in a toothpaste ad for his perfect looking teeth.
