I've Just Read Absolute Batman #1 by Scott Snyder & Nick Dragotta. I rather liked it. But I did have one problem with the opening...

I've read Absolute Batman #1 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, the launch of the Absolute Universe for DC Comics, a world formed in the battle with Darkseid, and infused with his energy, a harsher, crueller DC Universe, in which the stars have to shine a bit brighter. I first reported the existence of this comic and line a year ago, though it only came to fruition recently. So, what are my impressions? I am going to do my best to avoid spoilers, this is a book that is partially built with a twist or two that deviated from the standard Batman, but I am going to lead with the very first one, in the opening pages. So be warned, Batspoilers on.

I quite like the pitch, Batman vs the 1%, but can't get over the fact that the insignia on his chest is actually the head of an axe. It feels like it is trying too hard.

I'm interested in this version, now that I know about it. I do think the insignia being an axe head is a bit much. With how easy the axe chopped the guys hand off, it would have to be very sharp. I am assuming he would have a lot of cuts around the axe head while it's on his chest and his jumping around.
