Separated At Birth: All-Star Batman And Absolute Batman
Separated At Birth: All-Star Batman by Scott Snyder and John Romita Jr and Absolute Batman by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta
Article Summary

In 2016, Scott Snyder returned to Batman with John Romita Jr, just as Tom King had taken over the ongoing series, with their prestige All-Star Batman series for DC Rebirth. Eight years later, some aspects seem rather resonant to Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta's Absolute Batman.
Whether that be the use of the cloak for offensive or defensive reasons.
Or The Riddler as a friend from childhood.
Or how about knives hidden as ears?
It's a Separated-At-Birth moment, is it not?

Separated At Birth used to be called Swipe File, in which we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences, or works of the lightbox. We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself. If you are unable to do so, we ask that you please return your eyes to their maker before any further damage is done. Separated At Borth doesn't judge; it is interested more in the process of creation, how work influences other work, how new work comes from old, and sometimes how the same ideas emerge simultaneously as if their time has just come. The Swipe File was named after the advertising industry habit where writers and artists collect images and lines they admire to inspire them in their work. It was swiped from the Comic Journal, which originally ran a similar column, and the now-defunct Swipe Of The Week website, but Separated At Birth is considered a less antagonistic title.
