Absolute Batman #2 features a brutal new take on the hero and a massive Batmobile

The second issue of "Absolute Batman" introduces a larger, more brutal version of Batman, along with a massive new Batmobile. This Batmobile is described as a construction vehicle, significantly larger than typical vehicles in previous stories. In this issue, Batman continues his fight against the Party Animals while maintaining his "no kill" rule. He employs extreme tactics, including using salt water to harm his enemies and rigging an office building to explode in the shape of his cowl. The story also revises Bruce Wayne's backstory, revealing his father's death at a zoo. Additionally, Bruce has interactions with his father's killer and explores relationships with characters like Riddler and Penguin. The issue ends with a dramatic introduction of the oversized Batmobile.
