IGN's Jesse Schedeen recently met with the creators to discuss future plans following the completion of their first story arc. Absolute Batman includes teases for famous foes like Bane and the Joker throughout, and writer Scott Snyder notes, “…this version of the Joker is already deeply frightening by the time he encounters Batman. However, his dynamic with Batman evolves significantly as the series progresses.” It remains to be seen how these enigmatic hints will unfold.
