This week is set to see the continuity that began with Tim Burton\u2019s 1989 movie Batman<\/a> continuing with a brand new sequel. When it was first released in 1989, Batman helped redefine the character for modern audiences, with Michael Keaton\u2019s performance as the titular hero winning over critics and skeptics alike. The film\u2019s success spawned a sequel, 1992\u2019s Batman Returns<\/a>, but Burton\u2019s planned franchise was cut short when the director was replaced ahead of his third Batman movie, which slowly became the often maligned Batman Forever<\/a>. However, the legacy of Burton\u2019s Batman movies continues to live on, with the continuity expanding further with a new 2025 release.<\/p>\n

This week will see the release of Batman: Revolution, the follow-up to 2024\u2019s Batman: Resurrection. The second novel by John Jackson Miller to continue to build upon Burton\u2019s movies, Batman: Revolution will not just continue the movie\u2019s continuity, but also the story of its predecessor. Its story will feature a new incarnation of the Riddler, a villain that Keaton\u2019s Batman never had the opportunity to face in Burton\u2019s Batman movies<\/a>, as he was reportedly planned for the third cinematic installment.<\/p>\n

Batman: Revolution Will Continue To Expand On Burton\u2019s Continuity<\/p>\n

Batman: Resurrection was set between the events of Batman and Batman Returns, bridging the gap between Burton\u2019s movies with a story that examined the fallout of the Joker\u2019s death. It introduced the villains Clayface and Hugo Strange into the continuity, but also set up its own version of the Riddler: a detective and journalist by the name of Norman Pinkus. Where he was a secondary character in the first book, he is set to play a more central role in Batman: Revolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Burton\u2019s Batman movies may have created a relatively brief continuity, but they established a Gotham City that felt alive and unique. Delivering such a character-filled take on the iconic hero and his hometown left much room for development, and with so many characters still to be introduced, it\u2019s no wonder that John Jackson Miller has been able to do so with novel continuations of Burton\u2019s movies. The reaction to Batman: Resurrection was largely positive, and that has led to much anticipation over the sequel.<\/p>\n

Fans may still be sore over Burton\u2019s movie continuity ending prematurely, but at least it lives on in other forms. As well as a comic book continuation, John Jackson Miller\u2019s novels continue to expand Burton\u2019s universe in far greater depth, offering considerable insight into the characters and their stories even years after the movies ended. The release of Batman: Revolution cements that Burton\u2019s take on Batman remains massively popular, and the novel will surely find success in that sphere alone. <\/p>\n
