When we got our first look at the Absolute Batman, many were taken aback by the sheer size of the fellow. Hulking muscles, pronounced body armor, all those spikes – it was a lot to take in. Modern Batman is usually depicted as beefy, but Absolute Batman is the whole cow.
What wasn't clear was what this guy would have to offer on a narrative level. Sure, one would expect that he'd use his bulk to send a bunch of crooks to the hospital, but there was little giveaway as to the psychological complications that come with each version of the character. Luckily, the Absolute Batman is far more than just a brute. In fact, he's thrown all of our expectations out the window (along with a few bad guys).
