IGN's Jesse Schedeen recently interviewed the creators, delving into what's next following the completion of their first arc. Absolute Batman teases the involvement of legendary villains like Bane and the Joker. Scott Snyder, the writer, cryptically remarked, " . . . this Joker is already really terrifying by the time he meets Batman. But his relationship with Batman is part of something that really evolves as the series goes.” The future will reveal how this intriguing statement unfolds.
