Batman: Resurrection, the official sequel to Tim Burton's iconic 1989 film Batman, is currently available for purchase at Amazon for $22.19. This 336-page novel, written by John Jackson Miller and published by Random House, serves as a bridge between Burton's original movie and its 1992 follow-up, Batman Returns. Miller, known for his work on Star Wars, Star Trek, Halo, and Planet of the Apes novels, brings his expertise to this Batman universe.
Amazon is offering a 26% discount on the hardcover edition of Resurrection. Additionally, Random House has released a Kindle ebook version priced at $15 and an audiobook, which can be bought outright for $15.75 (originally $22.50) or with Audible Credit. The story is set shortly after the Joker's demise, exploring the aftermath of his reign of terror. The Joker's gang has formed a cult around their fallen leader, leading to a series of arson attacks that threaten Gotham City. Meanwhile, opportunists like Max Shreck exploit the chaos, and survivors of the Joker's chemical weapon Smylex overwhelm the city's hospitals.
In the midst of this turmoil, Batman continues his relentless fight to protect the innocent. For those who prefer visual storytelling, the official Batman '89 comic book series is also available. This graphic novel collects the first 12 chapters of the comic series, introducing characters like Two-Face and Robin to the BurtonVerse. Additionally, a direct graphic novel adaptation of Batman '89, illustrated by comic book legend Jerry Ordway, offers a nostalgic look at the film's adaptation.
For fans of the film, a 4K Blu-ray Limited-Edition Steelbook celebrating the 35th anniversary of Burton's first Batman movie is a must-have. This edition includes a documentary exploring the film's impact on the superhero genre. Both of Burton's Batman films, along with Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, are available in a 4K box set. For animated Batman films, the Batman 80th Anniversary 18-Film Collection and the Batman 85th Anniversary 10-Film Collection offer a comprehensive selection of animated adventures, though the latter is more expensive despite a $53 discount.
