Plot Summaries

I feel like this article should include plot synopsis's or summaries for each individual story arc, similar to how Ultimate Spider-man 2024 does it too SinisterRB2022 (talk) 01:33, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

After the second TPB is released, I recommend separating the detailed summaries into separate Wikipedia pages. Otherwise, this is going to get really long really fast, with each summary going appx. 700 words. GimmeChoco44 (talk) 07:04, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

We've hit appx. 1800 words for the plot. For this ongoing series, we need to trim this down to 200-300 words per TPB Volume (we have 2 conformed so far -- 1-6; 7-14) to keep this manageable. Any thoughts? GimmeChoco44 (talk) 02:21, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

Calling for additional editor input on this issue. After 15 issues, the summary is 2100+ words, far exceeding any book or series plot guidelines. GimmeChoco44 (talk) 12:48, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Completed plot summary reductions as per guidelines of MOS:PLOT and Wikipedia:PLOTSUMNOT. This page should not function as a full recap of all plot points and events. GimmeChoco44 (talk) 16:28, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

... that in Absolute Batman, the Joker is a billionaire who has never laughed?

Source: Rather than an independent chaos-causer, Jack Grimm V is a coldly calculating billionaire with a generational fortune and a global web of influence. He has never been known to laugh.[21]

ALT1: ... that in Absolute Batman, Batman's chest emblem detaches into a battle axe and his cowl ears serve as removable throwing knives?

Source: In the costume, every element is functional and self-built. The chest emblem detaches into a battle axe, the cowl ears are removable throwing knives, and the cape consists of articulated mechanical tethers rather than fabric, capable of extending into hooks and spikes.[12]

ALT2: ... that in Absolute Batman, the Riddler, the Penguin, Catwoman, Killer Croc, and Two-Face are all childhood friends of Bruce Wayne?

Source: The Joker is reconceived as an entrenched, wealthy antagonist, while several characters who are villains in the main continuity (Killer Croc, the Riddler, Catwoman, and the Penguin) are Bruce's close childhood friends.
Waylon Jones (Killer Croc), Eddie Nigma (the Riddler), Oswald Cobblepot (the Penguin), Harvey Dent (Two-Face), and Selina Kyle (Catwoman) each knew Bruce and his parents before the events of the series.[29][30]

ALT3: ... that in Absolute Batman, Alfred Pennyworth is an MI6 agent who has never worked as a butler?

Source: Alfred Pennyworth is reimagined as a veteran MI6 special agent rather than a domestic servant, arriving in Gotham on assignment to investigate the terrorist organization the Party Animals.[13]

Drive-by comment, not a review: I think the proposed hooks (ALT0 through ALT3) fail WP:DYKFICTION. TompaDompa (talk) 15:42, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
