What happens in Absolute Batman #1 (SPOILERS)
Absolute Batman #1 is largely about the situation of an adult Bruce, a civil engineer who decides to become a vigilante to take down a dangerous cartel in Gotham City. Over the course of the issue, readers are shown scenes of a young Bruce visiting the Gotham Zoo during a school trip with his teacher father Thomas Wayne. The field trip was a prize Bruce had won as a child in a student engineering competition, in which he created a bridge resembling a bat’s wing.
When a gunman attacks the zoo, Thomas rushes Bruce and the children inside bat exhibitionordering his son not to open the door for any reason. We are unable to clearly identify the gunman but it is implied that Thomas died in this situation.
From that moment on, Bruce becomes a troubled teenager, but tries to turn his life around by accepting a prestigious football scholarship. After seemingly faking an injury the first week of the season, Bruce focuses on his studies in a number of subjects, so he can return to Gotham ready to fight for his city. Meanwhile, the issue also reveals that Bruce’s mother, Martha Wayne, is still alive and a social worker.
