by

As a seasoned gamer with decades of comic book lore under my belt, I must say that the latest Absolute Batman series by Scott Snyder is a rollercoaster ride of controversy and excitement! The new take on the Dark Knight’s tale, with its radical departure from tradition, has certainly stirred up some heated discussions among fans.

The latest “Absolute Batman” comic book series by DC great Scott Snyder has stirred up quite a bit of debate, but that’s just Snyder – if it’s not fresh and daring, he won’t touch it. And that’s why fans adore him so much; his comics are hugely popular, particularly the New 52 tales.

Despite the online debate surrounding the latest version of Batman stirring up controversy, it remains to be seen how the narrative unfolds. Regardless of the outcome, fans are sure to have plenty to discuss. A key point of contention has been the design of Batman’s new Batmobile, which will undoubtedly take center stage in this analysis.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at how the iconic Batmobile has evolved throughout the years. However, in the latest iteration, Zack Snyder has taken a massive leap, redefining the vehicle we all know and love. Recently, he shared the inspiration behind his innovative new design for this wildly modified Batmobile.

If you haven’t kept up, let me fill you in: We have a fresh take on Batman called “Absolute Batman” which is a new storyline set in an alternate universe. Here’s a summary: “Scott Snyder, a legendary Batman writer, and artist Nick Dragotta are giving the Dark Knight a modern twist! This new version of Batman strips away the mansion, the wealth, and even Alfred – leaving us with the Essential Batman!

This new interpretation of the Dark Knight’s mythology promises to be nothing short of extraordinary, given Snyder’s penchant for crafting intricate, boundary-pushing narratives. Known for his willingness to explore the extremes, Snyder’s work consistently leaves fans eagerly anticipating what he’ll do next.

One notable alteration in the show is the transformation of Batman’s iconic vehicle, the Batmobile. Instead of a sleek car as we know it, this version appears much larger and bears a resemblance to a formidable monster truck. It no longer maintains its traditional automotive identity. Here’s a glimpse:

The images show off this fortress on wheels, and while the design is original and different from what we’re used to seeing, it has been inspired by a version of the Batmobile we’ve seen in Batman: The Cult, a classic storyline that the fans love. This was actually confirmed by Scott Snyder himself via X:

Instead of just praising Scott Snyder, fans should remember that the iconic Batmobile seen in ABSOLUTE BATMAN isn’t the original. They should take a look back at the one featured in BATMAN: THE CULT as well, to fully appreciate its history and significance 🙌

It’s clear that although these designs aren’t identical, they share many similarities, and it’s great to have Snyder confirming the source of inspiration for this design. Regardless, the second issue of Absolute Batman promises an exciting follow-up to the first, set to be released on November 12. We can hardly contain our enthusiasm! As mentioned, it’s a mystery what Snyder has in store, but with him at the helm, we know the series will be nothing short of wild and will continue to challenge Batman’s universe like never before.
