It didn’t take much for DC Comics’ Absolute bane To turn your head and not in a good sense.
The latest issue of Absolute Batman #9 introduced an updated version of Bane, one who is … well, let’s just say that the proportions are off. Think about the huge and huge body. Now reduce your head. No, smaller. A little more. Here you are.
The fans were not the only ones who are raised by the redesign. Bane’s Co-Creator Graham Nolan I saw the image and made his known and clear feelings. Taking to X, Nolan published: “As a designer /co-creator of Bane … this is a terrible abomination”.
When someone followed and asked if it was mainly his head to disturb him, Nolan simply replied: “We can start from there”. And when he was asked if he has ever seen other successful interpretations in the character over the years, he said: “Of course. Many have and made excellent interpretations. This is not one of them.”
All Absolute The DC comic line has made a great oscillation in reinventing its main characters. This alternative universe eliminates the key elements of stories of origin and remodel the icons from scratch.
In this world, Bruce Wayne has no money, her mother is still alive, the agent of a Mi6 from Alfred and most of his Rogues gallery, including Catwoman and Killer Croc, are his friends.
So yes, everything is different. Superman vividly recalls Krypton and shakes a nano-tech cloak with incorporated. Wonder Woman has never been on Themycira because it doesn’t exist. A skeletal pegasus that feeds on magic has grown from Circe on a monster island. It’s all very metal. But for many long -standing readers, it was … Alienating.
The art of Nick Dragotta In Absolute Batman It was intentionally exaggerated. This Batman is the largest ever put on the page, oversize, and Bane, who should be his own or physical equal, has been pumped to match. Unfortunately, in doing this, anatomy feels more shocked.
So far, Dragotta has not responded to Nolan’s comments, but fans continue to discuss online design. Is this version of Bane bold or broken? Creative or foreign?
Whatever your position, one thing is clear: the absolute universe is not afraid to break down things and start from scratch.
