okay there r lots of changes with absolute batman i would make if i had been the one to write it but MAN not making the narration / comic in general being from alfred’s perspective is a big one that i think would improve the quality of the storytelling imo.
for several reasons !!
firstly it takes away from bruce as a working class individual. one big thing with prime batman is that he will never be as connected to the people on the ground of gotham as his allies, (like selina, stephanie, etc.) who are living among the people of gotham. because of his place as a billionaire he is inherently disconnected from the people. this does not mean he does not have a connection with the people it just means its a different kind of one. this isnt inherently bad, but a big change in terms of identity and relationship with the city that i think absolute batman is trying to touch on it this sense of bruce being connected to his community. but alfred’s narration takes us out of this from the very first issue. alfred doesnt know or like the city, and his narration puts us at immediate distance from bruce as a character, when this is an adaptation that presumably should have brought the median reader closer to bruce & his experiences
the second thing is that alfred doesnt know bruce. we see them fighting or arguing more then we see them have a normal conversation. which is a very interesting change in terms of dynamics, and i’m not necessarily against it. however, the narration makes these huge observations about bruce as a person and a character that would imply a very intimate or close connection & we are seemed to supposed to take face value. but they’re coming from… alfred? who knows nothing about bruce as a person. (which is not to say that alfred can’t make observations about bruce as an outside perspective, but there are times he makes observations that would need a very close personal connection to assert them as comfortably as alfred does)
the third is that quality of narration. im not going to lie some of the narration is lowkey just… bad. not all of it by any means but narration as a tool is not used well in absolute bat. narration is repeats information being shown, tells us things that should/could have been shown, and simply loredumps information then it is relevant. ‘show don’t tell’ doesnt necessarily have to be a rule when writing, but absolute bat tells to a degree and amount that weakens the storytelling considerably.

the thing with absolute batman for me is i cannot bring myself to hate it despite having large beef with how scott has chosen to tell the story & all the problems it contains because of those choices because the concepts he has outlined compel me so.
yeah what if bruce was a construction worker. what if he was working class. how would being raised by a single working class mother change his perspective/personality? how is he shaped by his friends? what happens when he loses those friends? etc. etc. its so interesting!!!

Organizers of the DCBlackout boycott have announced the boycott’s end, citing discourse overshadowing the goal of the campaign, and acknowledging that some calls to action were limiting support of black, lgbt+, and female creatives.
While no longer calling for a boycott, they are still encouraging others to boost comics and media made by black creatives and about black characters to bring awareness to the lack of representation and to let publishers know that these stories are sought out and wanted.
from @jpenumbra on tiktok
here is a link to the campaign’s petition: change.org/dcsowhitecampaign
image text under cut:
“First and foremost, we want to thank everyone who has supported the DCSoWhite campaign. Since the beginning of this year, thousands of comic readers, retailers, creators, and fans have joined us in advocating for greater investment in Black characters and opportunities for Black creators within the comic book industry.
Today, we are announcing the end of the DCBlackout boycott.
This decision comes after a lot of reflection and conversations with members of the comic book community. While the boycott was launched to draw attention to an issue we believe remains important, it became clear that the conversation surrounding the boycott was often overshadowing the larger goal of the campaign.
The fact remains that it has been more than 1200 days since a Black character has headlined a solo title in DC Comics' mainline continuity. We continue to believe this is an issue worth discussing and addressing. However, we also recognize that many fans and creators we care about felt the boycott unintentionally minimized books, characters, and creators whose work provides meaningful representation for women, LGBTQIA+ readers, people of color, and other marginalized communities. That was never our intention, and we apologize for that impact. We heard those concerns, and they played a major role in our decision to reevaluate the boycott.
Our goal has never been to take representation away from anyone else in oursuit
of our own. We believe that Black characters deserve greater support, and inat the creators and books currently providing representation across the industry deserve to be celebrated and supported
As a result, DCSoWhite will continue as an awareness and advocacy campaign rather than a boycott effort.
One of the most effective ways readers can support creators and influence publisher decision-making is through preorders before a book's Final Order Cutoff (FOC) date. Pre-orders are one of the clearest indicators of reader interest and help publishers and retailers determine future investments in characters, titles, and creative teams. We encourage fans to support the books and creators they want to see succeed, particularly those from underrepresented communities. If you are unsure of a title's FOC date, contact your local comic shop or consult publicly available retailer resources.
DCBlackout grew into something much larger than we originally anticipated
While we appreciate the conversations it sparked, we recognize that the focus often shifted away from the concerns that inspired the campaign in the first place. Moving forward, we want the conversation to center on solutions, support, and meaningful opportunities for Black characters and creators.
The DCSoWhite campaign is not ending. The petition remains active. We will continue to highlight Black creators, promote Black independent comics, document industry trends, and advocate for greater investment in Black characters across mainstream comics.
We don't know what the future holds for DC in the coming weeks, months, or years. What we do know is that Black characters deserve the same opportunities, promotion, and great stories as everyone else. That's what this campaign has always been about, and that's what we will continue fighting for. And when DC finally announces a Black ongoing in the mainline continuity, we will be there for phase 3 of this campaign like we originally intended.”
