I’ve seen @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net post about it but I put it off. So I picked it up today and it’s good folks. Bruce Wayne as a working class dude who makes his own tech is a nice fresh spin on it. Plus he’s an absolute beast of a man, so that’s bonus points if you like hunky dudes catgirl-salute

    Ya, I tend to read them a couple months at a time so I guess I’m not entirely on top of things. I did notice a couple references here and there, but I chalked it up to coincidence because the style and worldbuilding felt markedly different than each other. No question of it with these past few chapters though. Not sure how I feel about it.

    Edit: it feels tacked on tbh.

      I don’t disagree, I think it just mainly to set up further appearance of characters from each in eachother

      spoiler

      Without having to do a a few pages of 'how does Ra’s know Joker’s each time

      I’m guessing the JL villains from each will show up in the various series, which will probably lead to more crossover teamups(ugh) between the mains

      But still it’s not the worst comic I’ve ever read, and even if it’s seems pretty contrite to everyone here it’s message of eltes despite having internal revival and outward disagreement with eachother will always put their class interest first and collaborate to crush working class resistance which is a better message to put out than not by gompano s with cultural cache, especially among the youth, even if it is ultimately hypocritical

        Oh ya, not to call Absolute Evil out, it’s interesting enough. I meant tacked on to the Absolute series in general. They just felt very distinctly established imo. They don’t even feel like the same time period, to me. But yeah, not horrible or anything. I just feel meh about it.
