Absolute Power by Mark Waid and Dan Mora

[Mantis-Ray]

I read the Batman: Failsafe arc but haven’t read anything since. Has Zur En Arrh Bats taken over Failsafe?



Failsafe was supposed to be the contingency but like every AI Batman creates, things went completely sideways.

Seriously Bruce, have Mr. Terrific or Doc Magnus check your work.

Yes Zur has exited Batman's body and has now taken over Failsafe's body.

And the recent Batman issue spoilers:

reveals he has already created the other Amazo robots that will feature in Absolute Power and they will be piloted the minds of other Zur's from the multiverse.

The more I hear about this story the more I'm apprehensive about it.

It’s to the point where Batman is so OP, the only one that can challenge him is himself.

WTF?!? So it’s even more like an OMAC Project rip off than we thought.

Batman’s creation goes rogue and creates androids that are specifically designed to take out the heroes of the DCU.

Which considering Absolute Power was designed first by Zdarsky, depending on how much the final product includes his ideas, this actually explains the similarities to past stories like Omac Project.

His Batman run already is extremally referential and heavily reuses plot points and stories from past writers such as Morrison, so Absolute Power is him once again him doing more of the same.
