IGN's Jesse Schedeen recently spoke with the creative team about their plans following the first arc's conclusion. Absolute Batman teases future appearances of iconic antagonists like Bane and the Joker. Writer Scott Snyder notes, "...this Joker is already truly terrifying by the time he encounters Batman. Their relationship becomes a key element that develops throughout the series." It remains to be seen how this intriguing setup will unfold.
