This podcast episode is a deep dive into The Absolute Universe, a fresh take on the DC universe led by writer Scott Snyder. The hosts discuss how the series reimagines Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, making bold creative choices that shift their traditional narratives.
- Batman is portrayed as a rugged engineer-turned-fighter, using makeshift tools and a forklift as his Batmobile.
- Superman grows up on Krypton, raised by his parents, making him more anti-establishment and less of a Boy Scout.
- Wonder Woman is reimagined as a warrior raised in hell, wielding magic, with a synthetic arm and a darker, more brutal persona.
The episode also touches on how fans react to these changes, debating whether they should embrace them as Elseworld stories or cling to the classic versions. The hosts then move into a fun segment of versus battles, debating matchups like Nightwing vs. Black Widow and Nightwing vs. Captain America.
