00:00Absolute Batman's entire story so far in less than 20 minutes.
00:03It all started with a professional MI6 spy Alfred Pennyworth coming back to Gotham for the first time
00:08because he's been on a five-year-long hunt for a specific guy that doesn't quite laugh.
00:12Alfred was in Gotham to deal with the party animals,
00:14a gang that raised Gotham's murder rate by 700%, killing people left and right,
00:18as we see them literally collecting the heads of Gotham's biggest crime families.
00:22However, after receiving all the information needed,
00:24Alfred gets out of his base only to find his bike stolen.
00:27While Bruce, on the other hand, was in the gym peacefully grinding with his friend Weyland Jones,
00:31talking about their childhood friends who would normally be Batman's villains,
00:35Bruce eventually leaves as Gotham's mayor Jim Gordon is addressing the party animals' situation
00:39because the entire city was low-kirkenuinly scared,
00:42only for the party animals to bust in with bombs trying to kill everyone,
00:45including Jim and his daughter Barbara, who's a cop in this story.
00:48Until they suddenly started getting snatched up one after another by Batman,
00:51who shows up in his bulletproof suit and starts taking them all out brutally with his knives from the couch.
00:55Alfred was Ohio impressed watching everything from above,
00:58as Bruce pulled out his axe and started cutting arms, ultimately scaring them all away,
01:02until Alfred pulled up from behind with his brutal one-of-three shotgun,
01:05only for Bruce to kick him and steal the gun like 6ix9ine stole Trippie Red's beat.
01:09And so not letting that slide, Alfred follows Bruce around and discovers everything about him.
01:13Just some broke 24-year-old guy called Bruce Wayne,
01:15mom is a social worker and dad is a teacher,
01:17as a kid Bruce was so smart that he won his class,
01:20a trip to Gotham Zoo where his dad would get shot and die trying to protect the kids in his class,
01:24and from there on Bruce loses himself for a while,
01:26but then gets inspired, graduates the best university,
01:29fakes football injury to escape duty despite being pro-level,
01:32studies criminal psychology and so many other things.
01:34Which he follows up by learning the city inside out,
01:37by working in the water department, power grid,
01:39and eventually becoming the engineer that he is now.
01:41And so upon discovering all of that,
01:43Alfred sneaks up on Bruce while he's talking to his mom
01:45and could have easily killed him but chose not to, stating that he's just a kid.
01:49As he instead pulls up on him later when he's in one of his hideouts,
01:52in a random abandoned building only to get shot by his own gun
01:55that Bruce had modified to be non-lethal and basically ruined it,
01:58before he then drove out with a bike making Alfred realize who had stolen his bike earlier,
02:02where he'd then go back to retreat and receive some new drops on the rich guy that never laughs,
02:06aka the Joker.
02:07But he nevertheless continues working on his case with the party animals
02:10while simultaneously following Batman who is also actively fighting them.
02:13Batman's intelligence comes to display when he on the spot
02:16throws a concentrated vinegar tablet to turn the salt water into hydrochloric acid
02:20to take down some party animals, goons, and let the cops arrest them.
02:23Alfred realized how committed to the bit Batman is when he pinpointed his safe houses
02:27and saw that they literally form a bat on Gotham's map.
02:29Bruce's routine was very tight and repetitive as he mostly just worked and went to the shadows
02:33except for the one time he made a stop to visit his father's killer, Joe Chill.
02:37And since Batman was the talk of the town,
02:39we see Mayor Gordon talking about him to his daughter and Harvey Bullock
02:42discussing the rumors of the bat working with the resistance group called Red Hood.
02:45Until Bruce's mom, Martha Wayne,
02:47then came in to check on Gordon because they were seemingly good friends
02:50as he then asks her about Bruce,
02:51making her start reminiscing about his childhood and his friends and whatnot.
02:55Right as Bruce actually shows up to the poker night with all of his friends
02:58except for Selina Kyle,
02:59Bruce brings in one of the helmets of the party animals
03:01and lies about how he just randomly found it at work
03:04to ultimately ask them about what they could possibly know about the party animals.
03:08And that's when we see each of their specialties highlighted
03:10as for instance, Edward Nygma starts analyzing the tech behind the mask,
03:14Oswald Cobblepot explains that they're not in for any weapon business moves
03:17as they had killed anyone that tried making a deal with them,
03:20while Harvey Dent discussed how he doesn't think it's about taking down Gordon
03:23for the next election or anything political,
03:25but he nonetheless lets Bruce in on the fact that Gordon's competition,
03:28aka Mayor Hill,
03:29has been taking in an insane amount of money
03:31into some new purse that he calls his golden chest.
03:34And so Bruce goes to Mayor Hill's office to check out his sketchy activity
03:37and comes across a file called ArcM
03:39that he tries to open only to be greeted by a video of the party animals leader,
03:43which is basically absolute Black Mask.
03:45Black Mask tells Bruce that he truly likes him
03:47and thus wants to make him an offer,
03:48but he'd like him to think about it first,
03:50as the tipped off police and his goons start to surround the building,
03:53forcing Bruce to quickly dip,
03:55where he's then met by Alfred who offers him a ride
03:57only for Bruce to reveal that they're standing in one
03:59as we then see the absolute Batmobile.
04:01Alfred wasn't given much time to explain himself,
04:03but he nonetheless expresses that he and Batman can make a great team,
04:06as he then reveals info about Black Mask,
04:08stating that his name is Roman Sionis.
04:10He then tries to convince Bruce to take Roman's offer,
04:12because it surely has to be life-changing money
04:15that he can possibly use to make Batman bigger,
04:17but also because the transaction can help Alfred track Roman quicker.
04:20Batman refused to compromise to save Gotham because he saw it as quitting,
04:23so he just kicked Alfred out of his vehicle
04:25and then got on his way to Edward Nygma,
04:27who introduces Bruce to the robot he created
04:29that basically contained 80% of the human knowledge.
04:32Bruce therefore quickly asks it how the party animal's ape skulls work,
04:36to which the robot explains that the masks gave its wearer a crypto wallet
04:39connected to a network of cryptocurrency called the Black Coin
04:42so that it can pay them when they complete the different tasks
04:45or take out the targets that it provides them,
04:47which basically explained why Roman's goons were out there grinding so hard,
04:50but the crypto network was nevertheless so complicated and thus impossible to break.
04:54Bruce then gets interrupted by a call from Harvey Dent telling him
04:57that he looked deeper into Mayor Hill's ARC-M file
04:59and discovered that the funding came from a company
05:01that builds private prisons and black sites.
05:04Bruce therefore digs deeper and goes out with Alfred
05:06to take a closer look at some of those black sites that Harvey was talking about
05:09and finds out there are different versions in different places
05:12like ARC-A, ARC-B and so on.
05:14Meanwhile, Roman Mayor Hill and Gordon's friend Bullock are all on one yacht,
05:17basically planning a political takeover, which they quickly get going.
05:20But things really get hectic for Bruce
05:22when he finds out that his mom is apparently stepping up as Gordon's deputy mayor,
05:26which meant that she'd become a target for Roman and Hill.
05:28So with all of this pressure, Bruce saw no option
05:30but to go ahead and accept a $200 million payment from Roman
05:34to stop being Batman for one week so that Roman can go easy on the city
05:37but also finish his business.
05:39And because the deal was made on the memorial day of Thomas' death,
05:42Bruce started thinking back about how sad he was after the death of his father.
05:45Until his friends came around, especially Selina,
05:47who despite being as miserable as him, tried her best to make him happy.
05:51But most importantly though, he thought back to his first year of being Batman
05:54and how he straight up was an insane vampire biting thugs in the neck
05:57to inject them with stuff until he found himself with a gun in his hand
06:00and realized that he's thinking too silly and small
06:02and therefore went ahead and applied some of his father advice
06:05and began shifting his goals towards becoming more than just one man
06:08by tackling the conflict from its roots and whatnot.
06:11But now back to present day, he's on his way to meet with Black Mask
06:14after they had made their deal only to tell him
06:16that he already spent the $200 million on something in less than one day.
06:19Which kind of shocked Roman until we see that Bruce had stacked all of the money
06:22in the form of a bat on top of the memorial light for his father
06:25and sat it all on fire to make the signal shine in the sky.
06:28The deal was then obviously off as Bruce then made the goons regret the day they were born
06:32until they managed to trap him where Roman then got to break his arm.
06:35Only for Bruce to smile in his face
06:36revealing that he had broadcast all of Roman's confessions to the entirety of Gotham.
06:40But Roman didn't even care as he then made his goon stab Batman multiple times
06:43before setting him on fire and throwing him off a building
06:46which would have killed him if it wasn't for his tentacles turning into a parachute.
06:49The paid off GCPD quickly started shooting and chasing him
06:52trying to take him in until Barbara saw him and let him run away.
06:55And so while he was patching himself, Alfred showed up mad at him for burning the bribe money
06:59telling him that he'll never help him again
07:01forcing him to go and ask his friends for help
07:03ultimately revealing to them that he's Batman.
07:05Roman then started addressing the whole city
07:07reminding them how messed up the system is for making them slave for pennies
07:10which he tells them they no longer have to do
07:12as now they can just pick up masks and weapons from the street
07:15and take out a few people with bounties on their heads to collect big time money.
07:19This obviously turned the city into absolute chaos in just a few hours
07:22as even Martha and Jim Gordon had millions on their head
07:25but by the time that happened, Bruce had revealed his identity to all of his friends
07:28who were a bit frustrated but nonetheless helped him to get on Black Mask's yacht
07:32where he'd then go through Roman's goons one by one
07:34literally kicking them off the ship
07:36till he eventually got to face Roman himself
07:38who he didn't show no mercy
07:39as he ends up smashing his head with his horns
07:41and then dragged him into the water
07:42where he then finally got to take out the servers
07:45and bomb up the entire yacht to disable all the party animals' helmets.
07:48Bruce however passed out and started drowning
07:50until Alfred came back and rescued him
07:52after a motivational conversation with his daughter
07:54and just when things seemed to be settling
07:56we see Joker with seemingly babies around him
07:58ordering for Bane to be called up
08:00as we then see Bane crashing through a door
08:02to interrupt a peace treaty between two nations
08:04and ultimately force them to go to war with each other
08:06before he got the call to come to Gotham.
08:08Back to Gotham however, Gordon loses the mayor race to Hill
08:11who instantly puts Gotham under a lockdown
08:13with some sort of curfew due to the Black Mask situation.
08:16Bruce doesn't wait much around
08:17before he gets back on the Arkham prison case
08:19as he instantly asks his friend Matches Malone
08:22to provide him with papers that can get him on the work crew of Arkham
08:25which Matches successfully does
08:26only to get his head blown up by a certain bacterium
08:29right in front of Bruce who then takes his phone.
08:31He nevertheless goes out with his childhood friends
08:33to honor him and whatnot
08:34before his friends start lashing out on him
08:36because he didn't want to involve them in Batman stuff no more.
08:39As he then leaves to check out a company called V-Core
08:41that according to Matches' phone had some connections to Arkham
08:44he enters the company as a city engineer
08:46and was immediately greeted by one of the employees
08:48who Bruce asks about Victor Freeze and his wife
08:50only for him to reveal that they were frozen
08:52and that he is their son Victor Jr.
08:54who then explained that this is a place
08:56where people get frozen until cures for their death can be found.
08:59And so while Bruce is looking at the same bacterium that killed Matches
09:02Victor reveals that he was actually frozen once
09:04because of a terminal illness he had
09:06but upon being revived he realized that ice is not no cure
09:09it creates monsters just like the one he's transforming into
09:11as he freezes Bruce unconscious.
09:13He then drags him into a freeze chamber
09:15surrounded by hundreds of frozen billionaires' bodies
09:17who were trying to escape death
09:19not knowing that this is worse than it.
09:21And as soon as the freezing started
09:22Bruce's memories started to flood
09:23revealing that Matches also blamed himself
09:25for the death of Bruce's dad
09:27because he was the last kid to hide
09:28forcing Thomas to go out for him and get killed
09:31Bruce eventually reaches for the gadgets he had in his cast
09:33to break out of the chamber
09:34all while Victor is talking to the Joker
09:36about the artificial snowfall he's been sending on Gotham
09:39to get the genetic profile on anyone whose skin touches snow
09:42which they obviously want to use
09:43to know which humans are best for scientific experiments in Arkham
09:46however by the time that happened
09:48Bruce pulled up and started setting Victor on fire
09:50which escalated to a big fight
09:51until he thought back to Weyland's advice earlier
09:54about being a survivor
09:55and thus decided to dip out of there
09:57and so while gliding out of there
09:58he called Weyland thanking him for his advice
10:00telling him that he'll fill him in later
10:02only for Weyland to end up kidnapped right after.
10:04Batman therefore went on a relentless rampage
10:06for two weeks straight
10:07taking down so many men to find Weyland
10:09that the hospital literally ran out of ambulances
10:11all while getting constant flashbacks from back in the day
10:14when him and Weyland were training
10:15for one of Weyland's upcoming boxing matches
10:17and some shots that establish a relationship
10:19between him and Selina Kyle
10:21until he approached Barbara Gordon
10:22who revealed to him that someone had made it
10:24so it looked like Weyland was taken by the police on paper
10:27Bruce took the files she gave him
10:28and then went to hold a meeting with his friend and Alfred
10:30where they realized that the files hinted at Weyland being in Ark M
10:33and so eventually after coming up with a plan
10:35for Bruce to get in Ark M
10:37Ozzy seemingly thought it was a crazy idea
10:39until Batman lashed out at him and broke the table
10:41as that's when Ozzy expresses that he never said they shouldn't do it
10:44Alfred then got Bruce ready to dive in the ocean
10:46where he actually contemplated telling him some things
10:49as we see him looking at pictures of Deathstroke
10:51who seemingly was his partner in an old war against Bane
10:54but it was too late
10:54because all communications got cut off
10:56as Bruce dove deep going through pipelines and vents
10:59till he eventually snuck into the real Ark M
11:01and was quickly met by a horrifying man-bat experiment
11:03before Bane himself showed up and kicked him in his chest
11:06only to then fight Bruce and basically predict his every move
11:09to break his bones with Bruce accusing him of being juiced up
11:11only then Bane actually decided to use the venom juice
11:14and expand himself into a giant
11:16before picking Bruce up
11:17telling his guys to prepare him for surgery
11:19Bruce went missing for a few days with his mom
11:21looking for him but to no avail
11:22because he was naked and unconscious in a cell
11:24where he was very closely monitored by a doctor
11:26who explains how hard it was to get Bruce in the cell
11:29despite him being unconscious
11:30because he was so heavy that it caused too many back injuries
11:33and because they had to confiscate all the hidden traps and weapons that he had
11:36which also caused many injuries
11:38shortly after that however
11:39Bruce pulled out a pin from his mouth to pick the lock on his cell
11:42only to go out and pass by terrifying experiments like Clayface
11:46that consisted of bodies molded together
11:48until Bane showed up and knocked him out once more
11:50to take him back in his cell
11:51and make him stay there for 45 days to closely track his behavior
11:55but then one day he catches the doctors off guard
11:57and starts brutally fighting them with his fists that he literally modified with his own teeth
12:01he ran for his life screaming to the top of his lungs
12:03till he stumbled upon what's basically the absolute poison ivy
12:07which was a whole ecosystem filled with weird creatures
12:09Bane then once again knocked him out and put him in his cell
12:12so that he undergoes two weeks of crazy venom surgeries
12:14the doctors wanted to ensure that Bruce's spirit was completely broken
12:18and thus put his Batman gear in front of him
12:19as a test only for him to actually take it and prove them wrong
12:22Bane would have still beat him and put him back in that cell
12:24if it wasn't for Bruce accidentally breaking the chamber
12:27that contained none other than Killer Croc aka Weyland Jones
12:30Croc lashed out at Bane soon as he got out
12:32and started eating the doctors until Bruce calmed him down
12:35realizing that it's actually Weyland
12:36before he then got on his back
12:38and finally managed to escape Arkham through the sewers
12:40Bane was then done stating that it's time to truly break Batman
12:43as we then see him going out to the city
12:45which is when Alfred finally tells us more about Bane
12:47he tells us how Bane grew up on Santa Prisca
12:49an island that was constantly in a war about power
12:51until Bane's father and his group of rebels who always believed in peace
12:55managed to overtake it
12:56however soon after foreign fighters would show up and put them all in prison
12:59but his dad never lost hope
13:00talking about how the bird on their flag would rise for freedom
13:03which Bane just could never imagine
13:05and so after 11 years of torture
13:06Bane manages to lead the group into a breakout
13:08where his dad would give him the mask
13:10telling him that he's the freedom bird
13:12however upon crossing the bay
13:13they were met by the Joker
13:14who convinced Bane that peace will never win
13:16and that the only way is forced
13:17which was the push Bane needed to finally kill his dad
13:20he then went to work for Joker full time
13:22destroying and killing any form of diplomacy or peace
13:24eventually coming across Venom that would enhance him
13:27and allow him to hold the knowledge of entire libraries in his head
13:30we then move back to the present day
13:31where we see Bane finally confronting Batman
13:33and cutting his arms off
13:34and forcing him to undergo a Venom surgery
13:36so that he ultimately realizes
13:38that war will be the only solution for Gotham
13:40and only then his agreement with the Joker ends
13:42as we see him getting back to his wife and kids on Santa Prisca
13:45that'll supposedly be forever protected by the Joker
13:48only for us to see that it was just what Alfred imagined Bane would be doing
13:51if he ever captures Bruce
13:52but what Bane was actually doing in Gotham
13:54is going after all of Bruce's friends
13:56while Bruce is in the sewers
13:57trying to convince Waylon that he'll find a cure for him
13:59which Waylon didn't want at all
14:01begging Bruce to just off him
14:02but Bruce just couldn't
14:03which absolutely enraged Croc
14:05who ended up leaving Bruce
14:06only for him to wake up in a safe house
14:08with Alfred explaining that he's been out for 20 days straight
14:11he told Bruce that he needed more time
14:12to recover from the Venom surgeries
14:14but Bruce didn't care
14:15as he quickly left to check on his loved ones
14:17despite having Venom headaches
14:18Martha slapped Bruce in the face
14:20and then broke down
14:20expressing how worried she was for him
14:22especially after what happened to Ozzy
14:24Bruce was shocked to hear
14:25that something had happened to his friend
14:26and quickly went to check up on him
14:28only to see him completely disfigured
14:30as he then gets an explanation
14:31of how all of Ozzy's bones were broken by Bane
14:34before he was informed
14:35that the same had happened to the rest of his friends
14:37as he then goes and sees
14:38that Harvey's skull was broken in half
14:40with one of the sides having been sat on fire
14:42Harvey expressed that from now on he only hated Bruce half of the time
14:45as Bruce went out of the hospital to check up on Eddie in his lab
14:48hoping that Bane hadn't gotten to him
14:50only for Eddie to reveal that Bane challenged him into a battle of wits
14:53where he would have allowed him to kill him if he won
14:55but Eddie lost and got his brain smashed into his skull
14:57giving him no option
14:58but to merge himself with his extremely smart robot
15:01which he was very fine with refusing to go to any hospital
15:03Bruce was raging
15:04wanting revenge more than ever
15:06as he goes back to Alfred's safe house
15:07to prepare for the upcoming battle with Bane
15:09where he then lashes out at the Red Hood gang who he was supposed to work with
15:13until all of the sudden alarms went off with Alfred getting picked up
15:16and slammed down with a rope by the one and only absolute Catwoman
15:19Selina wasn't really welcomed by the two
15:21but she nonetheless explained that she was only here
15:23because Martha had called her up when Bruce was missing
15:25based off the flashbacks and this
15:27Selina and Bruce seemed to have had a very strong relationship
15:29that somewhere along the way broke
15:31but despite Bruce acting like he didn't want to see her face
15:33he ended up folding as the two spent an intimate night together
15:36before they went out to talk things out with the Red Hood gang
15:38and hopefully get them on their side
15:40but things quickly went south
15:41forcing Bruce to accidentally use the venom to protect Selina
15:44the Red Hood gang insisted on taking the two down
15:47until Bruce opened up about what happened to him at Ark M
15:49and managed to convince their leader
15:51aka absolute Harley Quinn
15:53to squash the beef and have them fight by his side
15:55while on the other hand
15:56Bane was successfully getting pushed further by the doctors at Ark M
15:59but he didn't care much
16:00expressing that he just wants to capture Batman
16:02so that Joker can have his new Bane replacement
16:04and finally allow him to go to Santa Prisca to his wife and kids
16:07right as Batman broadcast himself to the entirety of Gotham
16:10exposing what's happening in Ark M and the corruption in the GCPD
16:14he promises that this time he'll take matters into his own
16:16unlike what he did with Black Mask
16:18as he then publicly challenges Bane into a fight tomorrow at an arena
16:21before letting everyone know that he's indeed Batman
16:24Bruce was obviously gonna use the venom to win this fight
16:26which Selina wasn't really on board with
16:28as she then ends up leaving
16:29Alfred encouraged Bruce to do whatever he can to win
16:31which Bruce was already doing
16:33as we see him leaving meat out for Killer Croc
16:35to have him on his side on the day of the fight
16:37the next night however
16:38Mayor Hill denied everything Batman said
16:40insisting that everyone should abide by the 11pm curfew
16:42Bane nevertheless was on his way out to the arena
16:45where Harley and her gang lit up the stadium
16:46and unleashed all of their drones to start filming
16:48the show quickly started with Bruce having a whole building collapse on Bane
16:52which he easily goes through
16:53only for Alfred to jam the Batmobile into his back
16:55Bane throws it away
16:56but then gets his eye plucked out by Bruce
16:58who just kept violently coming at him
17:00while Bane is just slamming him around
17:01trying to force him into using his venom
17:03Harley eventually unleashed Killer Croc into the air
17:05to start biting off chunks of Bane
17:07which gave Bruce enough time to cut through Bane's back
17:10and slash into him as much as possible
17:11but Bane kept coming up using more and more venom
17:14transforming into an even bigger state
17:15smashing Bruce as much as possible
17:17until Bruce finally decided to use his own venom
17:20only for Catwoman to show up
17:21and start shooting venom filled darts at Bane
17:23blasting him with so much venom that he just exploded
17:26as it then turns out that Bruce had made Eddie extract
17:28all of the venom outside of him into small darts
17:31Bruce then poured all of Bane's remains into the ocean
17:33which Ozzy and Harvey watched on the news
17:35while Catwoman was getting away on plane with a tube of venom
17:38the only things left of Bane's consciousness
17:39were his eyes and brains
17:41which Joker ended up talking to him through
17:42just to show him a video of him nuking his entire island Santa Prisca
17:46and so with things somewhat settling
17:47Alfred felt it was the right time to tell Bruce about the Joker
17:50and ultimately make him consider going back to his 9 to 5
17:53he explains that Joker's great-grandfather Jack
17:55grew up an orphan in the 1800s
17:57and was the funniest street performer until he eventually built his own theaters
18:01and made so much money making the people laugh the loudest
18:03he never laughed once and spent the rest of his life mysteriously donating to children causes
18:08till he died in 1938
18:09his legacy nevertheless carried on with his son Jack Jr.
18:12then his son's son Jack the 2nd who invested in early television
18:15then Jack the 3rd and the 4th who made a shift to cable network dedicated to children's shows and comedies
18:20until the 5th current and most successful Jack came around to make trillions off of software and online gaming
18:25all while still devoting himself to charities and opening orphanages
18:29Bruce however didn't see what's scary about an average billionaire
18:31who made his money making Americans laugh
18:33and now owns hundreds of islands to supposedly hunt animals in his free time
18:37so he pressured Alfred to tell him about his own investigation
18:40and what he believes instead of what's true on paper
18:43Alfred thus revealed that the great-grandfather performed in front of a dentist
18:46around the same time the laughing gas was introduced to dentistry
18:49Jack was therefore stealing the gas and leaking it to make people laugh
18:52and persuade them to give him all their money just so that he can kill them by possibly shaking their hands with poison
18:57and ever since then anyone that would dare stand in the way of the Jack family
19:00would be off like one of Alfred's own associates once was
19:03they were the most powerful crime family in history
19:05because they lived life like clowns playing the fools while making fools of everyone else
19:10for centuries they created diseases just to manufacture the cures
19:13while funding whole countries during the world wars and playing both sides just to profit
19:17however the only records of their laughter were at the sight of testing the most dangerous viruses and weapons
19:22meaning that there must be a darker project behind all of this
19:24because ever since the ancient times the clown's whole act was to mock humanity because it hates it
19:29and so Alfred reveals that he believes that there was never a family
19:32but only one seemingly immortal Jack who's been using his island to put his enemies there
19:36and then wait to use the children from his orphanages to somehow extract their cells
19:40and become something terrible that only laughs when it's too late for his enemies to hear him
19:44Batman then expressed that he heard enough as he then leaves to check on Waylon
19:47only for us to see Joker down in Gotham
19:49talking to his butler before going down to his cave
19:52and with that the 15th issue of Absolute Batman ends
19:54until Batman meets Absolute Wonder Woman next month on the 21st of January
