Absolute Batman doing a Joker in #25

Discussion

My theory is that Absolute Bats will do something crazy to take both himself and Joker off the board for a couple issues in #25, rather than just getting badly beaten and having to go on a training arc like everyone is predicting.

Snyder has always said that Bats is Joker and a representation of chaos in this universe, and every time mainline Joker faces off with mainline Bats, he pulls off something to hurt him even though Batman tries his best to prepare for it.

Every other time we see Joker pop up in a mainline arc (or even crossovers, see DC KO for example ), I go - there’s going to be some ex machina here to make him win beyond all rational logic.

I’d love if Abs Bat is just completely unpredictable and begins to create that same frustration among his villains who are supposed to be the establishment in the Absolute universe.
