Unveiling the Past: Absolute Batman #4 unravels the secrets behind this universe’s Bruce Wayne transforming into the Dark Knight, offering a breathtaking glimpse into the origins of the original Absolute Batman. This issue reveals that the first version of the Absolute Batman carried traces of vampirism in its conception. Delving into the initial stages of his war on crime, we’ll explore how Bruce’s first mission significantly shaped his subsequent iterations, which have captivated audiences globally. Let’s delve into what transpired during his debut operation.
In a flashback sequence, a group of thugs intimidate people who won’t pay for their ‘protection’. The Ten Thieves choose to demonstrate their power by tossing one hostage from a rooftop. But just as they do, Batman, version 1.0, arrives dramatically and rescues the victim. He then confronts the thugs. It’s our initial encounter with Batman 1.0, dressed in a predominantly black suit accented with red eyes and claws on his gloves. His arrival is punctuated by a loud bat-like cry of “screeee!”.
The loud scream undoubtedly terrifies certain team members, and the sight of Batman sinking his sharp teeth into one of them – with pointed vampire-esque fangs – certainly adds to the terror. Upon biting the criminal’s neck, Batman not only strengthened the vampire and bat imagery but also infused his fangs with a venomous substance to enhance the effect, as the thug was later seen foaming at the mouth.
Later, Batman employs his retractable talons to cut into another criminal’s torso, making a growling sound all the while. He manages to shield himself from incoming bullets using his cloak, and subsequently disarms a thug carrying a firearm. However, instead of releasing him, Batman seizes the gun and threatens the thug with it, concluding this scene in an unexpected manner.
Following this endeavor, Bruce feels discontent with how events unfolded, highlighting the dramatic aspects of it all. Abandoning the voice modifier, the facial makeup, the fangs filled with paralyzing agents, and the firearm, he concludes that he must escalate and craft the Batman he aspires to become. He also undergoes intense physical training, resulting in the armor we now recognize him wearing, and from then on, most of what followed can be considered history.
In the latest adaptation of Batman, theatrics play a role too, yet it’s his intimidating aura and ruthlessness that truly terrorizes villains, contrasting with just creating an illusion. Bruce Wayne has integrated various bat-like traits into this new portrayal, but they are tactical and functional, not merely for show or scaring people. We can only speculate about Batman’s future transformations, but it’s insightful to understand his evolution leading up to the current version.
