I thank the deals service BookBub telling me about this one, as it came up\u00a0 on sale a couple of months ago.\u00a0 The book takes place very soon after the end of the events of the first Tim Burton Batman movie (1989). If you are familiar with what DC has done with the rebrand of the property as “Batman ’89” (to distinguish from Adam West as “Batman ’66”) this book is adjacent but not related to the comics works published by DC using the Burtonverse.<\/p>\n
Miller is a skilled tie-in author (I’ve enjoyed his Star Wars books) and I think he got the vibe of the characters and performances from the movies. This was not hard to read and better than many of the prose superhero novels I’ve consumed.<\/p>\n
The best thing about the telling here is that Batman is still pretty new and he is still testing out some of his “wonderful toys”.\u00a0 That’s not a side that we often see, and as a long time fan I enjoyed it immensely.\u00a0 Miller is filling in the space between the\u00a0 movies Batman<\/em> and Batman Returns.<\/em><\/p>\n The book went on sale because he wrote another one, so I will be looking for that one to also go on sale once it’s been a while.\u00a0 Worth picking up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I thank the deals service BookBub telling me about this one, as it came up\u00a0 on sale a couple of months ago.\u00a0 The book takes place very soon after the end of the events of the first Tim Burton Batman movie (1989).
