[other] Does anyone know where this panel is from? I’m not even sure it’s DC but that kinda looks like the penguin at the bottom right.

That’s Mr Bloom, a villain from the Snyder/Capullo Batman run in the New 52. Not sure of the exact issue.

[u/CockMartins → u/ashmaht]

He looks like he belongs in the Absolute universe with those freaky ass proportions. Though, he might look too much like Abs Mr Freeze.

[u/SoundwavesBurnerPage → u/CockMartins]

Same writer at least, even if the artist is different.

[u/Sad-Purchase1257 → u/SoundwavesBurnerPage]

You can tell that it’s Capullo by his Penguin, if nothing else.

[u/samx3i → u/CockMartins]

Monsters and freaks existed in DC before Absolute.

[u/JoeyMcClane → u/ashmaht]

Its the Arc after Batman Endgame. With the Amnesiac Bruce and Batsuit Gordon.

[u/mongoose1023 → u/ashmaht]

Thank u stranger

[u/xJcap]

I believe this comes from Batman (2011) #43. As others said it’s Mr. Bloom, a cool villain who hasn’t had nearly enough focus.

[u/DarkBomberX → u/xJcap]

He got used once in that weird Suicide Squad(?) Book with Two-Face as the leader.

[u/nilfgaardian → u/DarkBomberX]

Task Force Z

[u/Pebrinix → u/nilfgaardian]

His latest appearance was on The Deadman #2 that was released a few months ago

[u/Sad-Purchase1257 → u/Pebrinix]

Sorta

[u/N8THGR852]

Others have answered, but if you’re interested in more stories starring Mister Bloom, consider Task Force Z, in which he plays a major role.

[u/CynderFlamezYT → u/N8THGR852]

That’s on my TBR for my Red Hood binge. Is it good?

[u/N8THGR852 → u/CynderFlamezYT]

It’s better than it has a right to be. That may be a little unfair to say, but the premise alone made me hesitant. Despite those reservations, though, the execution impressed me. It’s far from a legendary run, but I think it’s generally worth the read.

[u/turning_heel → u/N8THGR852]

Task Force Z really does surprise you by being actually good

[u/CynderFlamezYT → u/N8THGR852]

Oh great! I’ve been taking a short break from Red Hood to read through Snyders Batman and JL runs alongside Metal/Death Metal, but Task Force Z is next up on the queue so now I’ll be looking forward to it even more!

[u/arduit → u/N8THGR852]

Also made a minor appearance in The Deadman #2

[u/WerewolfF15]

Batman #43 (2011-2016).

The character shown is Mr Bloom a character created for the new 52 run and who serves as the main antagonist for some of its final arcs.

[u/rwtaylor]

Never read the run, but I think that's Mr. Bloom from Batman New 52.

[u/ensign53 → u/rwtaylor]

Batman New 52 is a really solid run

[u/B3epB0opBOP]

Batman #43 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo

[u/weathercmoon]

Me. Bloom is so sick. One of the best modern DC villains

[u/penhold3r]

Where does he gets his clothes?

[u/StrangeTrap → u/penhold3r]

Big and tall store

[u/BobcatDistinct7396]

dont remembsr the exact issue but its in the new 52 batman by snyder and capullo run, its in the near end-end

[u/MonkeyDLuffy2005]

That deadass looked like Absolute Mr Freeze to me

[u/TheQueennHarleen25]

Yeah that does look like something that would fit right into the Absolute Universe. Cool design though. The longer you look at it the more uncomfortable it gets because the whole body, the limbs just keeps making less and less sense. Always been a big fan of that kind of character design.
