The Naked Bruce Wayne Reveals More In Absolute Batman #10 (Spoilers)

The Naked Bruce Wayne reveals more in Absolute Batman #10 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta (Spoilers)



Article Summary

  • Absolute Batman #10 delivers intense physical and emotional challenges for a captive, wounded Bruce Wayne
  • Bruce’s hidden arsenal of explosives, poisons, and weapons is revealed after invasive operations
  • Bane’s true form is unleashed, with brutal new plans to break Batman inside the terrifying Ark M
  • Upcoming issues promise Bane’s origin, more brutal attacks, and guest artists expanding the saga

We've already had a glimpse of this month's upcoming Absolute Batman #10 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, with Bruce Wayne captured and held, naked, aside from bandages and possibly his socks, prone in a cell after a number of medical operations and looking a little worse for wear. Now we have some letters to join them for a comic that Scott Snyder says is "a huge issue for us. Easily the most brutal, physically and emotionally, for Bruce. With some big reveals, also. Like Absolute Batman #9, this one is likely to sell out, so please order today from your LCS." And we discover that, for Bruce Wayne, there is more than meets the eye.

And you can see some of the places where he would have had the explosives, poisons, and knives embedded or surgically inserted.

However, as for the large, spiked war club, the mind boggles. But it appears that they may have missed one. Just the one, mind…

That's the brutal bit right? Or rather it is part of the brutal bit. Absolute Batman #10 goes further still…

Absolute Batman #10 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta will be published on the 16th of July. Absolute Batman #11 will follow in August with guest artist Clay Mann. And Jock is lined up for November to draw Absolute Batman #14. Presumably, at some point along DC Comics' publishing schedule, Bruce Wayne will find some more clothes to put on, as well as his socks.
