Old Man Orange

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
