IGN's Jesse Schedeen had an insightful conversation with the creators about the future of the series following the conclusion of the first arc. Absolute Batman teases appearances by iconic villains such as Bane and the Joker. Scott Snyder, the writer, shared a tantalizing hint about the Joker, saying, " . . . 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 can only wait to see how this intriguing development unfolds.
