Catwoman's introduction into the Absolute Universe makes for an intense reunion between her and Batman. The brief glimpses of their relationship we've seen up until now culminate into a cathartically passionate embrace. Snyder writes their dynamic exceptionally well, as her playful provocation seems to be one of the few things that brings joy into Batman's life. Her inclusion also acts as a counterbalance to the forces in Batman's life pushing him to do anything necessary to win as we head into the final confrontation with Bane. Read Full Review

Absolute Batman #13 is another home run by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta. There is so much going on with how Bruce Wayne decides to handle his Absolute Bane problem. Adding Selina Kyle into the mix helped to emphasize the importance of the decisions Bruce makes in and out of the cape and cowl. It sets the stage for not only an exciting end to this current story arc but also for the future direction this series could take. Read Full Review

Absolute Batman #13 does an incredible job of building tension and suspense paired with pure excitement. Snyder and company have done a phenomenal job of taking basic ideas and taking a big swing with them, and this issue was filled with a big swings. The series has been fantastic so far, but it now feels like its completely found its footing and ready to do bigger and bigger things. Read Full Review

My bold prediction for the Batman/Bane fight. This time Batman lifts Bane up and breaks his back on his knee in a venom fueled rage. Read Full Review

Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta deserve to get their flowers for making such an overtly edgy rendition of Batman feel purposely comedic, as well as endearing. Bruce is a young foul mouthed hood from crime alley there is simply no restraint for him in every way he carries himself he is one of a kind. Selina is a welcome addition as the crowd and players are gathered we are in for one hell of a rematch.

Holy amazing comic Batman.

This is the first issue in a while that I actually like Batman and Catwoman's relationship for once, and not because they had sex. Nick Dragotta's art works for this series, I like Bruce and Alfred's relationship. Overall, everything in this series just hits the right spots for me, and it shows how Scott Snyder still has creative juice in him. I thought he would leave DC Comics forever because he was burned out in the main continuity, but he still has motivation to put out bangers of stories.

A solid issue. Entertaining but not remarkable.

Pacing is all over the place but it sticks the landing.

Uhoh Batman did the one thing that always bites the superhero in the tail.
He challenges the villains on live tv.
So my annoyances are becoming more clear with each issue..
Snyder really likes to write the story where the hero is up against unbelievable odds.
Plus I don’t care for the $@&!?) swearing. Cut it out, it doesn’t need to the extra edge..

Arts solid, Selina and Pennyworth and even Banes small part are the highlights.
