Jason is my favorite Robin and I really hope we get to see his time as Robin get adapted/time to shine, besides him being beaten to death by The Joker

Now that we know that Jason Aaron is writing the crossover event, who would you like to draw the event? Do you want someone who’s drawn an Absolute book before or a new artist My choices would be:

Nick Dragotta

Dan Mora

Juan Ferreya

Pepe Laraz

Jorge Jiminez

Matias De Luiz

What are your choices to draw the crossover event

There’s been a lot of talk and speculation of when the Absolute Universe will be adapted. I believe that one day one, if not all, the absolute books/characters will be adapted one day, and I think animation would be the best medium for these interpretations. In the future, the Absolute Universe gets adapted into an animated series. What animation studio would you like to see adapt these stories? My choices include:

Absolute Batman: Fortiche (Arcane)

Absolute Wonder Woman: Blue Spirit (Blue Eye Samurai)

Absolute Superman: Powerhouse Animation (Netflix Castlevania)

Absolute Flash: Flying Bark Production (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

Absolute Green Lantern: Orange Studio (Trigun Stampede)

Absolute Martian Manhunter: Titmouse (The Midnight Gospel)

What about you guys, what animation studio would you like to see adapt the Absolute Universe stories

After being a few years into the Absolute Universe and the massive success and impact it has gotten, I started thinking to myself why are these interpretations of these iconic characters striking a chord with so many readers (young and old). I think the main thing that I’ve seen is that these books aren’t afraid of talking about issues that you many not see. The idea of depression and survivor’s guilt in Absolute Superman or discovering your identity in Absolute Green Lantern, issues that everyone has gone through in their time and seeing these larger than life characters go through that is really something to see.

While I was rethinking all of this, I was listening to a podcast that reviewed the latest issue of Absolute Batman #19 and one of the co-just complained that their are no quiet moments in the book and feels like it’s rushing which, to me, translates to “I wish Absolute Batman was more like Absolute Wonder Woman. The same co-just also complained that Absolute Martian Manhunter made them feel uncomfortable and only got into Absolute Superman once Superman/Kal started acting like Superman (whatever that means). I respect peoples opinions and that’s there’s but I tend to disagree with that statement because Absolute Batman NEEDS to be loud and needs to be make a scene, not only because it’s the first book out the gate and the flagship title but that’s what THIS Bruce Wayne and Batman are.

This Batman is going against the system and taking down the “order” of this world and in order to make a change, you have to be loud. Each of these books, in their own ways, is going against the system and making a change. Absolute Wonder Woman going against Veronica Cale doesn’t need to be as loud as Absolute Batman nor does it need to be. The beauty of the Absolute Universe is being able to tell their own stories, while still being true to the characters and resonating with readers. The Absolute books shouldn’t be uniform and that’s what makes them great
