Batman 1989"s New Sequel Brings The DC Villain I"ve Always Wanted In A Batman Movie To Tim Burton"s Gotham Universe
Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Batman: Resurrection35 years after Tim Burton"s Batman (1989) kicked off the modern era of live-action Batman movies, a new sequel has expanded the universe and given me something I"ve wanted for as long as I"ve been a Batman fan. Burton"s movies introduced a number of what we"d all consider the top-level Batman villains: the unholy trinity of Joker, Catwoman, and Penguin, of course, but new novel Batman: Resurrection adds even more names to the Rogues Gallery.
One thing I"ve always bemoaned about Batman movies is the lack of imagination when it comes to choosing villains. We"ve seen the Joker multiple times, the Riddler twice, the Penguin twice, Catwoman three times (whether as a villain or not), and beyond that, the Rogues have been limited. Sure, we"ve seen lots of Batman villains imagined elsewhere, thanks to the likes of the Suicide Squad movies, but if they don"t face their greatest foe, what"s the point?
Batman: Resurrection is an excellent reminder of how rich those other alternatives are. Not only is it a new origin story for Clayface - who has somehow never appeared in a live-action movie - but it also introduces a hugely popular villain who DC have seemingly cast-off on the rejects pile. And reading Batman: Resurrection is the kind of immediate justification for my love of that character that it"s almost impossible to see outside of the comics.
Batman: Resurrection Expands Batman 1989's Story Close Set after Joker"s death at the end of Batman (1989), Batman: Resurrection focuses heavily on the fallout from the madman"s attack on Gotham. Smylex victims are still dealing with the grim effects of his terrorism - including newly made orphans - but a new wave of his followers threaten to destabilize the city further.
Christened the Last Laughs by journalist Alexander Knox, they"re behind a spate of arson attacks (thanks to hidden benefactor and Batman Returns villain Max Shreck). Then suddenly, a new evil emerges when a lowly aspiring actor is transformed by a Smylex-tainted batch of stage make-up into Clayface, and at the same time, Batman is confronted with the horrifying suspicion that Joker never actually died.
