...the 'Absolute' universe was created, allowing the writers at DC to offer up their imaginings of these characters.

Why on Earth would anyone want such a thing?

Instead of Batman being a rich billionaire who watched his parents get murdered, he's the lower-middle-class orphan...

So...not Batman.

Wonder Woman isn't a creation of clay raised on the utopian island of Themyscira anymore. In this universe, she was cursed by the gods and raised in Hell.

So...not Wonder Woman.

...Superman...In this version, the 'S' represents the members of Krypton's lower class, who suffered under the upper class which led to the destruction of the planet....this Superman is described as "a little bit of an outlaw and much more of an underdog..."

So...not Superman. Definitely not Superman.

Superman is back to his social justice roots...

Oh, fuck right off.
