IGN's Jesse Schedeen had the opportunity to talk with the creators about what's next following their first arc. Absolute Batman subtly teases the appearance of iconic villains such as Bane and the Joker. Scott Snyder hinted, " . . . 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.” We'll have to wait and see how this intriguing statement unfolds.
