TLDR: A sequel to the acclaimed DC miniseries Batman: The Imposter may be in development, according to a cryptic response from writer Mattson Tomlin.
Mattson Tomlin’s Response to a Fan Comment
When a fan on Twitter/X asked whether we’d see The Imposter’s take on Batman again, Tomlin replied, “It’s possible.” While the veteran writer is known for ambiguous social media responses, the comment is far from a definitive ‘no’—suggesting a Batman: The Imposter sequel could be in the works.
A Wave of Early-Years Batman Stories
Even if The Imposter sequel doesn’t release until after The Batman: Part 2, audiences will be getting plenty of this darker, grounded take on the character in a relatively short period.
Unlike the mainline Batman comic series—which features a more vibrant, lighthearted tone with heavy emphasis on the Bat-family—The Imposter and Reeves’ films focus on Bruce Wayne’s early years as Batman, when he has few allies to rely on.
This approach, shared by titles like Dan Watters and Hayden Sherman’s Batman: Dark Patterns, has ironically become more niche in the current comic landscape.
