Spencer and Ryan are back to talk about the new graphic novel of Absolute Batman Volume 2 by Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta, Frank Martin, and Clayton Cowles. The alternative new DCU world of the classic characters, where Bruce Wayne is a blue collar worker and is good friends with his general Batman Prime enemies, like Penguin, Two Face, Croc, and Riddler.

This story starts off with an interesting new take on a monstrous Mr. Freeze plot then dives into the bread and butter of Batman taking on Bane in a whole new bad way. This Bane shows up early in the Bat career and totally wreaks havoc on Batman and all his friends. With Bane being the power muscle for a terrorist ring around the world and trying to get Batman to take the venom and become his new heir.

It's a totally interesting take on the Dark Knight and there are layers upon layers of story and details intwined throughout that really takes at least a second read to fully digest.

Beyond that we also go into just some other comic books we have been reading in the last while like some 80s Captain America and Iron Man meets Doomsday, to a newer Wonder Woman. Then catching up on manga with Black Lagoon and a new surprise book, Mujina into the Deep that is nothing but pure good story time.

Join us as we break it all down in this spoiler-filled discussion! Then get sidetracked as usual with other movies, games, comics, and life stories. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into fascinating films.
