IGN’s Jesse Schedeen recently sat down with the creative team behind *Absolute Batman* to explore what’s next following the completion of their initial arc. The series subtly teases appearances from legendary villains like Bane and the Joker throughout its early run. Writer Scott Snyder teased, “...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.” What exactly that means remains to be seen—but fans should prepare for a chilling evolution.
