In today's episode, we dive into the nitty-gritty of the DC Kickstarter campaign—what’s working, what’s not, and whether this bold move by DC is shaking up the comic book world or just adding noise. Then, we’ll roll up our sleeves and dissect the "DC All In" and "Absolute Universe" initiatives—two ambitious projects redefining how we experience DC’s iconic characters. But that's just the warm-up.
The centerpiece? A deep dive into Absolute Batman #1. Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta don’t just retell Batman’s origin—they completely rewire it for the modern age. Forget the pearls in Crime Alley; this Batman is forged in the crucible of a mass shooting at Gotham Zoo, a raw, contemporary spin that hits closer to home than ever before.
We’ll unpack how this gritty reimagining challenges the mythos we all know, swapping out the mugger with a shadowy, systemic menace that feels all too real. From the haunting loss of his father, a social worker dedicated to change, to the fresh energy in Dragotta’s visceral artwork, Absolute Batman #1 isn’t just a story—it’s a statement.
Tune in to hear my take on whether Snyder and Dragotta are onto something groundbreaking, or if this “modernized” Batman leaves something crucial in the shadows. Buckle up, because this isn’t just a walk through Gotham—it’s a deep plunge into its darkest corners. Don’t miss it.
