Batman 1989 Sequel Batman: Revolution to Introduce the Burton-Verse's Riddler

Tim Burton's iconic Batman universe expands once more with Batman: Resurrection, a new novel by John Jackson Miller, published by Penguin Random House. This book introduces the Burton-verse's interpretation of The Riddler and is available for pre-order on Amazon.

As revealed by ComicBook.com, Batman: Revolution follows 2024's Batman: Resurrection, also penned by Miller. Both novels are set between the events of 1989's Batman and 1992's Batman Returns, drawing inspiration from Burton's unrealized third Batman film, which was to feature Robin Williams as The Riddler.

Here's the official synopsis for Batman: Revolution:

It’s summer in Gotham, a city celebrating the fading memory of The Joker's chaos. The mayor and retail magnate Max Shreck are planning a massive Fourth of July celebration, but beneath the surface, tensions simmer. Batman remains vigilant against escalating gang violence and masked criminals. Meanwhile, Norman Pinkus, a seemingly unremarkable copy boy for the Gotham Globe, secretly creates the newspaper's popular "Riddle Me This" puzzles. Unknown to all, Norman is a genius, anonymously solving crimes through the police tip line, often before Batman even knows they've occurred.

Unseen and unappreciated, Norman witnesses the city's indifference to the struggles of its citizens. Disillusioned, he devises a plan: using his intellect and dangerous new allies, he exploits the city's simmering unrest to challenge Batman in a game of riddles, aiming to prove himself Gotham's true savior. This confrontation will unearth long-buried secrets, with potentially devastating consequences for the city's future. Norman, now known as The Riddler, will clash with Batman in a battle of wits.

Batman: Revolution releases October 28, 2025. Pre-order your copy on Amazon.
