What’s Next After Absolute Batman Issue #6?

IGN’s Jesse Schedeen recently spoke with the *Absolute Batman* creative team about the future of the series following the conclusion of their initial arc. The first six issues subtly foreshadow appearances from iconic antagonists such as Bane and the Joker. 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.” Fans will have to wait and see how those ominous words play out across future issues.
