Episode 267: ‘Absolute Batman’ & Favorite Batman Elseworlds

In episode 267 of The Batman Universe Podcast, Scott is joined by Rob from Comic Book Chronicles. With the absolute smash success of Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s Absolute Batman, the two give their thoughts on Absolute Batman #1, as well as other Batman Elseworld tales.

For those who haven’t picked up the first or second issue of Absolute Batman, it’s part of DC’s new Absolute Universe, which includes Absolute Superman and Absolute Wonder Woman in the lineup. Scott and Rob talk about the highlights (and low points) of the issues, analyzing parallels to Marvel’s reboot of the Ultimate Universe. Before listening to this episode, it’s a good idea to listen to Rob’s review of Absolute Batman #1 on Comic Book Chronicles. Listeners can also find Comic Book Chronicles at:

Other topics covered in this episode include Frank Miller’s Batman work, including The Dark Knight Returns (BJ and Scott previously revisited this in TBU Episode 259)and All-Star Batman & Robin. They also talk about the Batman & Dracula Trilogy, which includes Batman & Dracula: Red Rain, Bloodstorm and Crimson Mist, as well as John Ridley’s The Next Batman, which was born out of DC’s Future State event from a few years back.
