Batman: Resurrection

De: John Jackson Miller

Narrado por: Will Damron

After The Joker’s death, Batman and Gotham City face a mysterious new threat in this direct sequel to Tim Burton’s iconic Batman.

The Joker is dead, but not forgotten. Gotham City is saved, but it is still not safe. By night, its new symbol of hope, Batman, continues his fight to protect the innocent and the powerless. By day, his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, wonders whether there may someday be a future beyond skulking the city’s rooftops or the cavernous halls of his stately manor alongside the ever-dutiful Alfred Pennyworth.

But even after death, the Clown Prince of Crime’s imprint can be seen in more than just the pavement. Remnants from The Joker’s gang are leading wannabes fascinated by his bizarre mystique on a campaign of arson that threatens the city—even as it serves greedy opportunists, including millionaire Max Shreck. And survivors of exposure to The Joker’s chemical weapon Smylex continue to crowd Gotham City’s main hospital.

To quell the chaos, Batman needs more than his cape and his well-stocked Utility Belt. Bruce Wayne is forced into action, prompting a partnership with a charismatic scientist to help solve the health crisis. But as he works in both the shadows and the light, Bruce finds himself drawn deeper into Gotham City’s turmoil than ever before, fueling his obsession to save the city—an obsession that has already driven a wedge between him and Vicki Vale. The loyal Alfred, who had hoped Bruce’s efforts as Batman could help him find closure, finds the opposite happening. Nightmares begin to prompt Bruce to ask new questions about the climactic events in the cathedral, and investigations by Commissioner Gordon and reporter Alexander Knox into the arsons only amplify his concerns.

Having told the people of Gotham City that they’d earned a rest from crime, Batman finds the forces of evil growing ever more organized—and orchestrated—by a sinister hand behind the scenes. The World’s Greatest Detective must solve the greatest mystery of all: Could The Joker have somehow survived? And could he still have the last laugh against the people of Gotham City?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Did you ever wonder WHAT IF Tim Burton and Michael Keaton had created a trilogy? Wonder no longer! Her is the missing Part 2 of 3! Diving deep into the imaginations of director Tim Burton and screenwriter Sam Hamm, John Jackson Miller provides the missing link between 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman: Returns in this new novel.”—Michael Uslan, executive producer of Batman and Batman Returns

Continuing Burton’s Batman

The story provided a very interesting and unique telling of one of Batman‘s most well-known villains. It also allowed the reader to envision how this would’ve been portrayed on the big screen had Tim Burton been allowed to make something like this

A good follow up to the movie.

I’m looking forward to the next book in this series. Fingers crossed it happens. This felt like a Batman story, unlike the later movies.

PERFECT SEQUEL

I had such a fun time reading this book. amazing storytelling, amazing character development. I feel like this is a perfect sequel to Batman 89

Great Follow UP To Batman 89!

This was a fun listen that fills in a lot of info that lef up to the Keaton Batman 89 and shows you the after effects of the events of that movie. Some very nice origin stories and in depth look at the "Bat Tech". I am going to watch the movie again because this book will make youaware of little details you missed when you saw it before.

surprisingly well done

I was expexting a mid book that I would appreciate just because I love batman 89. this book surprised me because it was incredibly well done! mayhaps no S tier book, but a cut above the schlock this genre is known for.

Fun story, looking forward to the next one.

Great performance. He channels both Keaton and a little Conroy, so what’s not lot love?

AMAZING STORY!

Great story, well crafted, excellent character development and interaction. An excellent pairing of villains. This should have been the theatrical sequel to Batman (1989).
A must read for all Gothamites.

Well read, great story

The story was well read and story itself was a good continuation of the original Batman.

Really good listen

Great narrator, good story, really enjoyed this. The author clearly has a love for the comics.

Interesting and Entertaining.

Inserting many of the classic Batman themes from the comics and other movies in the Batman '89 world is awesome. Also the call out to the sequel and introducing other villains is great.

The narration is excellent. The challenge of trying to replicate Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton's performance is too much to ask of any performer but he does a good as possible.
