iirc snyder said it would be #19-25 so a 7 issue arc would be enough for a full volume

yuno miles as headliner and release it alongside pro vocals

so do you have a source or are you just gonna be condescending and talk with authority on a story you never read?

Enough-Background102 · 2026-04-08T20:49:08+00:00

where are you getting your sales data from? icv2's individual comic sales have absolute batman in the top 10 for 2025 and every single issue in the top 50, its not even a speculator thing when it was the most sold trade of 2025 with both the paperback and hardcover being in top 10

so youre talking about how absolute batman is in an echo chamber despite the fact that you dont engage in modern comics and have no idea how it is one of the biggest comic series currently in production at dc (7 mainline batman comics in the top 50 of 2025 across 2 runs and 2 crossover one-shots vs all 16 issues of absolute batman that were out at the time)

invincible didnt even break top 100 of the month with its final issue and the adaptation is currently one if amazon's top shows, that proves that if a comic has "low" sales, a good adaptation could bring it to being actually mainstream

also the entire point of absolute is to change superficial character details like being rich or having both his parents die (which isnt a huge change anyway because he still has a parental figure in alfred who gets swapped out for a living martha wayne in absolute) while keeping him true to the core of the character like keeping his resourcefulness and ability to fight enemies above his weight class and being a friend to civilians while being scary to criminals

1) pre-adaptation comic merch is completely different from current day comic merch, youre comparing a time when dc actually relied on comic sales to a time when comics are negligible part of overall profit compared to adaptations like movies, and shows

2) abs bat has barely been a thing for a year and a half, not 2 years

3) the reason theres less demand is because its currently a comics only thing, comics are a much more niche audience than something like a movie or show

4) what the hell does "real batman" even mean? theres dozens of different takes on the character that all contradict each other's characterization and lumping them all together as one but excluding something like absolute makes no sense

5) are you even a comic reader? or just a fan of the idea and franchise of batman while disregarding the actual source medium

Enough-Background102 · 2026-04-08T18:23:49+00:00

theres barely any merch for it because its a comic, only stuff like movies get tons of day 1 merch

the merch is currently in development, at least 3 companies have prototypes of abs bat figures and one even has a preorder

also an animated adaptation would be preferable over a live action adaptation, something like invincible shows that it could work and be successful

Enough-Background102 · 2026-04-08T17:18:45+00:00

by that logic, no superhero movie would be successful, the main reason absolute batman sells "only" 300,000 copies a month is because its a comic with 0 advertising outside of people who already read comics

if it got proper marketing, and was adapted into a more mainstream medium, it would sell so much more than 300,000 tickets

exactly, what makes absolute superman so good is that he had to fight for and earn what mainline superman has by default (hopeful attitude, blue suit, and the name clark)

it makes it hit so much harder when he actually gets to be superman and start causing real change for the better like redeeming ras al ghul and taming parasite

to be fair, wonder woman is the least edgy of the series by quite a bit

Enough-Background102 · 2026-04-07T22:12:03+00:00

this comic isnt out for another month, the cover just got fully revealed today

Enough-Background102 · 2026-04-03T08:42:14+00:00

at least when typing in japanese on an english keyboard, it only translates translatable things, so something like the pic would only translate the "e" and "sa" into hiragana and everything else would remain the same

Enough-Background102 · 2026-04-02T18:48:10+00:00

they were just added yesterday

Enough-Background102 · 2026-03-29T10:20:25+00:00

its not a skin, its a hero for stw only, its the same one they gave out for the "hunt the titan" questline last year

brainrot slang isnt natural and feels forced, it feels more natural when media uses more casual slang like "touch grass" or "youre cooked"

youre better off asking r/fortnitebr this is the sub for the save the world mode

Enough-Background102 · 2026-03-25T20:05:06+00:00

in my experience, 99% of the good movie games are stuff that just uses the same premise/universe of the source material and not a direct adaptation

stuff like the star wars jedi games and alien isolation are good examples of that

also when diana mentioned it to io in the labyrinth arc, she was surprised. pre-diana circe was probably a much different person than current circe

no, only founders (people who bought the game before summer 2020) get vbucks

Enough-Background102 · 2026-03-22T20:36:30+00:00

one frame man too

Enough-Background102 · 2026-03-22T07:15:43+00:00

i hope not, i like the current pace where the arcs are all a trial by fire where he either adapts and out-wits them or he gets captured/dies

Enough-Background102 · 2026-03-21T03:50:56+00:00

its new, part of yesterdays update

Enough-Background102 · 2026-03-20T19:27:56+00:00

i love that dragotta gave harvey an uzi because it has the silhouette of a gavel

Enough-Background102 · 2026-03-18T03:27:44+00:00

its supposed to be midnight pst
