John Jackson Miller has done it again. Batman: Revolution drops readers right back into the shadow-soaked, gothic grit of Tim Burton’s Gotham — set between Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) — and immediately feels like home for anyone who loves that era of the Dark Knight. This is a direct continuation of Miller’s earlier tie-in novel, Batman: Resurrection, and once again, he absolutely nails the tone, atmosphere, and character voices of Burton’s world.
Do you miss the days when the Batman movies were kinda campy but not overly campy. When they were dark but not overly dark? Do you wish you could dive back into the Michael Keaton days as Batman – between Batman and Batman Returns? Do you wish there was more connective tissue between those two movies? Are you getting as tired as I am with all these questions? Well, I’ve just got one thing to say to you:
Stop what you’re doing and read this book!
Picard and Riker have always worked well together. So what happened? Did the promotion to Admiral get to Riker’s head? I mean, sort of, I guess… But how is Picard supposed to stop his old protege when he’s always a step (or more) behind?
