I’ve been following the Absolute Batman series, and issue #16 really hit me hard. It’s heartbreaking to see Bruce Wayne grappling with the aftermath of his fight with Bane – his friends are seriously hurt, and some are even… changed. Seeing him visit Oz Cobblepot and Harvey Dent in the hospital was so tense. You can feel his guilt and desperation. It’s amazing how he turns to Wonder Woman for help, remembering the debt she owes him from their earlier adventure. He’s desperate to find a way to restore Waylon, his friend, after those scientists at Arkham turned him into… well, something resembling a crocodile. It’s a really powerful story about responsibility and friendship.
