Which character could potentially overpower or challenge the formidable version of Batman presented in Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s “Absolute Batman“? At 6’6” tall and weighing 275 pounds, Bruce Wayne has sculpted a more powerful and menacing Batman during the first arc. Black Mask, also known as Roman Sionis, came close to defeating the Bat with his Party Animals – a group of masked criminals causing chaos on Gotham’s streets and transforming it into a city resembling a zoo. However, Batman stands as an indomitable and invincible figure.
In this week’s issue #6 of “Absolute Batman,” titled “The Zoo: Part Six,” Black Mask distributes masks and weapons to Gotham’s residents, allowing them to participate in the Party Animals’ chaos reminiscent of “Grand Theft Auto.” This chaos includes robberies, arsons, assaults, and murders. To further escalate the situation, Black Mask offers a $1 million reward for the capture or elimination of Mayor Jim Gordon and Deputy Mayor Martha Wayne, who, unlike in this universe, did not suffer the same fate as Thomas Wayne.
Following a series of traumatic events involving gunshots, stabbings, arson, and being thrown from a great height, Bruce seeks aid from his old companions: Waylon Jones, Oswald “Ozzie” Cobblepot, Edward “Eddie” Nygma, and Harvey Dent. Eddie’s Riddler-built robot had uncovered that Black Mask’s worldwide empire was too formidable to dismantle but could be weakened by destroying local servers. Consequently, Batman focuses on a server situated on Sionis’ yacht and plunges onto the vessel in an epic tribute to Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns.
Batman savagely attacks Black Mask using a bowling ball and then stabs his foe with his bat-shaped ear pieces. Leading a clandestine military force, Black Mask threatens Batman, “You’ll lose everything, everyone you care for. You have no idea what you’ve set in motion.
1) In a selfless act, Batman detonates the boat, thereby disabling Sionis’ servers and the Party Animals network. Plunged into the depths of the bay, Batman is rescued and nursed back to health by his fresh ally – Agent Alfred Pennyworth.
The final chapter of the initial Absolute Batman storyline is followed by the return of a character known as the Joker, who mockingly bears this name. In the previous epilogue that concluded Absolute Batman #1, we last saw this villain. Now, he’s back with a chilling twist – it seems he’s draining blood from infants in an attempt to cure his pale skin condition.
“It’s time,” the Joker says. “Get Bane.”
Earlier editions of “Absolute Batman” disclosed that Sionis had connections to secretive facilities called “Arks,” which were essentially clandestine prisons. Investigations by Harvey Dent found that a subsidiary of J.K. Holdings is financing the “Ark M fund,” linking it to the Joker, Arkham Asylum, and Gotham’s network of unregulated, international secret prisons operated in collaboration with various governments worldwide. In the primary storyline, Bane, known for his strength-enhancing drug, was born in a Santa Prisca facility called “Ark A,” while there are also “Ark B” sites in Russia and “Ark C” in China (in mainstream continuity, the Peña Duro prison in Santa Prisca is where Bane originated).
The seventh issue of ‘Absolute Batman’ initiates the comic’s second storyline on April 9, featuring the debut of Mister Freeze, illustrated by the renowned artist Marcos Martín, who has previously worked on ‘Amazing Spider-Man’.
