Batman: Revolution – A New Adventure in Tim Burton’s Gotham City
Tim Burton’s revolutionary impact on superhero cinema began with his iconic Batman in 1989, followed by Batman Returns in 1992. These films not only redefined the genre but also created a distinctive universe that continues to be explored today.
Upcoming Novel: Batman: Revolution
New York Times best-selling author John Jackson Miller is set to release Batman: Revolution in October 2025. This novel follows the success of Batman: Resurrection, both situated within the world crafted by Burton.
Plot Overview
In this new installment, Gotham City finds itself in turmoil as Batman confronts The Riddler. Set around the festive Fourth of July, the storyline centers on retail magnate Max Shreck, who organizes a major holiday celebration for the city. However, Norman Pincus, known as Gotham’s brightest mind, transforms into The Riddler, challenging Batman in an intense battle.
“We’ve seen Gotham City at Christmas – now get a load of the Fourth of July! While Batman continues his war on the underworld, Gotham City also has an underground that’s just as active – and even more violent, with tensions rising with the temperatures,” said Miller.
Connecting the Stories
The narratives of Batman: Resurrection and Batman: Revolution unfold between the timelines of Burton’s 1989 and 1992 films. Interestingly, while The Riddler appears in these upcoming novels, the character was originally brought to the big screen by Jim Carrey in Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever, which diverges from Miller’s current storyline.
Release Information
Batman: Revolution is scheduled for release on October 28, 2025. In the meantime, readers can find Batman: Resurrection on store shelves, inviting fans to reconnect with Burton’s captivating portrayal of Gotham.
