Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Batman: Resurrection
Clayface has just joined the universe of Tim Burton"s Batman (1989) with a new twist 35 years later. 2024 is a good time to be a Batman fan: there"s a Joker movie - okay, so it"s maybe not for everyone - HBO"s The Penguin is an exceptional spin-off to Matt Reeves" universe, and now Batman: Resurrection is continuing Burton"s dark take on Gotham City and the Dark Knight. The novel expands Michael Keaton"s Batman movie timeline so well that it"s a tragedy it probably can"t be remade for the screen.
Written by frequent Star Wars and Star Trek writer John Jackson Miller, Resurrection is out now, and picks up some months after Joker"s death at the end of Batman. Jack Nicholson"s version of the Joker remains one of the two best iterations in live-action Batman movies, and his gruesome end robbed the world of more of his story. Batman: Resurrection fixes that disappointment by exploring more of the idea of the Joker, and introduces iconic DC villain Clayface.
Batman: Resurrection Continues Batman 1989's Story The New Sequel Deals With The Fallout Of Joker's Reign Of Terror Close Batman: Resurrection follows Michael Keaton"s version of Batman as he investigates more crimes in Gotham linked to the Joker and wrestles with his own psyche. Urgent clues - partly from his own nightmares from the night Joker died - tell him he missed something about that fateful confrontation at Gotham Cathedral, and he just about convinces himself that Joker may not be dead at all.
The novel cleverly answers some of the more pressing questions left unanswered by both Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), including dealing with Vicki Vale"s disappearance, and one particularly persistent plot hole from the original. Familiar characters return, while there are supporting appearances by Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) and Selina Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer), and entirely new characters.
