Tim Burton's pivotal Batman is about to receive another sequel that diverges from the Batman '89 comic book and the DCEU's The Flash, coming in print form. Tim Burton directed two of the most influential comic book movies in history in the form of 1989's Batman and 1992's Batman Returns, starring Michael Keaton in the titular role. The impact and legacy of Tim Burton's Batman movies were most recently demonstrated in The Flash, where Keaton's Batman made an explosive return to the big screen – but it appears there is more where that came from.
Batman: Resurrection, as reported by Gizmodo, will be a direct sequel to the original Batman movie in the form of a novel penned by John Jackson Miller. Miller is a prolific science fiction writer best known for his work on the Star Wars Expanded Universe and new canon, in addition to several Marvel and Dark Horse comics, including Iron Man. The novel will be published by Penguin Random House and released on October 15.
