IGN's Jesse Schedeen had the opportunity to speak with the creators about the future following the completion of their initial arc. Absolute Batman teases appearances from iconic villains like Bane and the Joker. Scott Snyder, the writer, hints at an evolving dynamic, stating, " . . . 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." It's intriguing to see how this enigmatic statement will unfold.
