Did you describe Saddam Hussein?
Although his father died before he was born, his mother tried to abort him and kill herself but failed, she didn’t want him and he was raised by his uncle.
That’s kinda like Absolute Batman. Alfred is an MI6 agent investigating Batman and the other gangs, and after a while they start working together because Alfred believes in the Mission.
Batman actually blasts Alfred at point-blank with a “non-lethal” shotgun in their very first meeting. I say “non-lethal” because the shotgun shoots mini batarang-shaped shrapnel. And Alfred just has a bunch of tiny batarangs sticking out of his face after the shot.
Goddamn I need to read the Absolute DC comics.
I think I have seen something like this. Can’t recall the name, but it was more like taken, with some agency funding some rando to collect their family.

I just saw this movie.
Tap for spoiler
He blackmails his superiors to get training… he isn’t offered to get revenge on his wife’s killers. They laugh at him…
I think thats in the trailer, so no spoiler. Its not exactly OPs premise, but its close, its still a normie being helped by a larger organisation. Did you like it?
I dunno, he gets treated like a ‘normie’ but continually surprised people who underestimate him.
It wasn’t the best movie but not the worse. It has some fun moments. Made me want to watch Mr. Robot (only seen pieces).
I figure this is the origin story for a lot of terrorists.
If its the CIA funding them, their called “Freedom Fighters” :D
Until their sudden but inevitable betrayal
Dont worry, this time will be different!
