Absolute Batman #11 Is a Chilling Villain Origin Story (Review)

It’s debatable that “Abomination Part III” is more about Bane than it is about Batman, given that the Dark Knight has limited appearances in this issue. Instead, the narrative predominantly delves into Bane’s origin story set within the Absolute Universe, providing insight into his past as an inmate at Santa Prisca’s Pena Duro prison. This backstory explores how Bane’s father played a role in a failed uprising against the island’s tyrannical ruler. The comic adheres closely to Bane’s conventional origin, depicting him as transforming into a powerhouse both physically and mentally, with a turning point marking the first known instance of Bane demonstrating his ability to shatter his adversaries.
