In the Absolute Universe, Absolute Batman stands against the corrupting influence of wealth, choosing to fight for the working class and dismantle oppressive systems.
Absolute Batman has redefined Bruce Wayne's classic narrative by stripping him of his immense wealth, a change that ultimately proves to be a significant improvement. While the traditional Batman is renowned for his vast fortune, his counterpart in the Absolute Universe presents a stark contrast, portraying him as working class. This new iteration of Batman harbors a disdain for the affluent, marking a bold departure from his usual position as one of them.
Scott Snyder, the writer behind Absolute Batman, spoke to CBR about the series' impact on DC's new Absolute Universe. When discussing Batman's unwavering resistance against a powerful gang wielding financial influence, Snyder emphasized the fundamental difference in this Batman's approach: \u201cHe's not ONE of them. So it's not a case of him having to move among them and pretend this. He just is out to get them, and I love that about him.\u201d While Bruce Wayne's civilian identity typically aligns with Gotham City's elite due to his wealth and fame, Absolute Batman rejects this societal privilege, choosing to combat the wealthy instead of joining their ranks. This alteration elevates this Batman, making him stand out from his traditional counterpart.Absolute Batman's lack of wealth serves as a refreshing change in DC lore. This iteration of Batman directly targets the rich and powerful, subverting his established status quo. Snyder delves deeper into Absolute Batman's stance: \u201cHe's very much against, not like rich people in general, but people that abuse and have their power, people that are hypocritical, people that are helping foster a system that disenfranchises people from their own principles, that allow it makes them feel like they have no access to anything they're supposed to have access to, or that redirects their feelings of longing and frustration towards anger and ugliness at each other or in the wrong misdirects it with conspiracies and all this. He hates all of that.\u201d This version of Batman's selection of adversaries reflects this shift, as he confronts a wealthy Joker wielding influence instead of the usual portrayal of the character festering in Gotham's underbelly. Batman's greatest adversaries in the Absolute Universe are those who hold power over the less fortunate, setting him apart from his traditional counterpart with his focus on dismantling these structures.
