The Batman and The Batman: Part 2 co-writer Mattson Tomlin<\/a> recently teased that there could be another chapter of his Batman: The Imposter comic book limited series. The Batman and Batman: The Imposter are not connected in any way, but they both undoubtedly boast the same tone and atmosphere, with Bruce Wayne\u2019s Batman<\/a> being in his formative crime-fighting years.<\/p>\n

Responding to a fan on Twitter\/X<\/a> who asked whether we\u2019d see Batman: The Imposter\u2019s take on the character again, Mattson Tomlin replied, \u201cIt\u2019s possible.\u201d Now, the writer is a seasoned veteran when it comes to having to be ambiguous on social media, but this comment is nowhere near a \u2018no,\u2019 and that\u2019s enough to suggest a Batman: The Imposter sequel may be in the works.<\/p>\n

Batman: The Imposter 2 Has Been Teased<\/p>\n

\"batman<\/p>\n

Batman: The Imposter is a phenomenal three-issue miniseries that explores Batman and GCPD detective Blair Wong<\/a>\u2019s investigation into the titular \u2018imposter,\u2019 who is dressed like Batman and killing people. Mature and dark, Batman: The Imposter serves as a wonderful precursor to Matt Reeves\u2019 The Batman movie<\/a>, bleeding all the color out of some of the character\u2019s more whimsical interpretations.<\/p>\n

Batman: The Imposter is terrific as an intimate, self-contained story, and yet it\u2019s fantastic to hear that Mattson Tomlin may be inspired to continue it somehow. It\u2019d be fascinating to see what other characters he chooses to depict if there was a sequel to the comic, and in the same way as it\u2019s compelling to imagine what characters will be cast for The Batman: Part 2<\/a>, as they are both such novel iterations of the Batman mythology, choosing to lean on grimy, realistic noir tales and not rely on fantastical DC elements at all.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re Getting a Lot of Early-Years Batman<\/p>\n

\"batman<\/p>\n

Even if The Batman: Imposter\u2019s sequel<\/a> doesn\u2019t release until after The Batman: Part 2, that\u2019ll be a lot of this flavor of Batman in a short period. The mainline, ongoing comic book series of Batman, for instance, is far more vibrant and lighthearted, with many current comic runs hammering home an emphasis on the Bat-family.<\/p>\n

Therefore, like Dan Watters and Hayden Sherman\u2019s Batman: Dark Patterns<\/a>, Batman: The Imposter and The Batman are ironically more niche for telling stories about Bruce when he\u2019s only been Batman for a few years and has too few companions to count on or confide in. A Batman: The Imposter sequel has the potential to be an incredible comic, and it\u2019ll be interesting to see if anything happens to manifest from Mattson Tomlin\u2019s optimistic response.<\/p>\n
