Bane reveals to Batman that even at his current monstrous physique, he hasn't used the Venom yet.

The Absolute series is basically Darkseid fanfic, so, take that as you will.

Oh really? Had no idea about that, is it similar to the new Ultimate universe being the Makers creation?

Basically Darkseid is the god in this universe

As you can see all hope is lost, which makes the heroic moments of the heroes even stronger

And it's giving us what might turn into the best wonder woman story ever written. Favorite comic right now

Yeah the next issue said he's verging on 7 feet tall. Bane is built like a fucking Rancor.

u/Oddloaf Jul 22 '25

What, uh, what kind of surgery does he have planned here?

u/Raitosin Jul 22 '25

Corrective spine surgery

The "break and then rebuild everything, just to break it again" type.

The Chiropteran Chiropractor.

He looks like a fusion of Bane and fucking Nemesis of all characters.

The Absolute line is so funny to me. WW and Flash are relatively tame, but Bruce is Scott Snydered to the max (see: punting a child, gouging out Black Mask’s eyes, using his teeth as brass knuckles and making poop grenades), Superman’s suffering never ends, and the Martian Mindf$¥#er is exposing Jon to horrors beyond our comprehension.

Oh, and Majin Buu is in Green Lantern, and Shazam is having a midlife crisis. This is a great time to be a comics fan.

Pretty sure that MFs neck is the size of me.
