IGN's Jesse Schedeen recently interviewed the creators to delve into what's next after their initial arc. Absolute Batman subtly teases the presence of iconic villains such as Bane and the Joker. Scott Snyder, the writer, shared, " . . . this Joker is already really terrifying by the time he meets Batman.
