, all to make a “deal” — Black Mask was going to pay Batman two hundred million dollars as part of a larger plan. Black Mask is all about chaos, and he believes that Batman would be useful in his scheme against the elite of Gotham; by giving him money, Black Mask hopes that Batman will use it to fund his war in the city and even the odds between Batman, the gangs, and the cops. However, Batman reveals that he’s already taken the money and put it to use and how marks a major shift.
Absolute Batman grew up entirely different from the mainline Batman. When Darkseid created the Absolute Earth, he stacked the deck against the heroes there. This meant that Batman’s wealth was gone. Bruce Wayne didn’t lose his rich parents and then was raised by his butler in the lap of luxury, where he eventually began to train for his mission to completely eliminate crime. This Batman grew up in an orphanage with many who would be his greatest villains on the other Earth.
This aspect of Absolute Batman is one of the more interesting. He could have entered Gotham society with the money that Black Mask gave him. He could have fueled his war for years to come. He could have fought the beast from the inside. However, all he’s known is abuse from the beast. So, he’s going to stay outside it. He’s going to destroy it. He will break its tools, the symbols of its power, and keep fighting. It’s the only way he knows, just like the rest of Gotham. This Batman is one of us.
