Batman Returns
The next continuation to 1989’sBatmanhas the perfect opportunity to explain one plot of ground element ofBatman Returns . The Tim BurtonBatmanfilms are part of multiple timelineswith overlapping canon . One such persistence includes both 1989’sBatmanand 1992’sBatman Returns , but expand on the iconic films with non - movie materials – include Sam Hamm and Joe Quinones’sBatman ’ 89comics and John Jackson Miller ’s 2024 novelBatman : Resurrection . Resurrection of Christ – which is set betweenBatmanandBatman return – has made both films even better by allow for extra connective tissue and deploy captivating retcons .
Batman : Resurrectiondeals with the fallout of theevents of 1989’sBatmanand helps fructify up element ofBatman ReturnsandBatman ’ 89 . In doing so , it explains some of the more confusing elements of the twolive - action Batman movies . Resurrectionexplains how Joker could down the Batwing with a undivided shot of his outsize six-shooter , as well as exploring Max Shreck ’s connection to Gotham ’s underworld before Jack Napier ’s transformation into the Joker tore Gotham City apart . Resurrectiondid not explain , however , one of the most dubious plot element ofBatman Returns .
How Did Penguin Get The Batmobile Blueprints?
In the second number ofBatman Returns , The Penguin has somehow obtain the pattern to the Batmobile , ab initio design to just detonate the car before or else deciding to take control of it , using it to frame Batman as an unhinged A-one - criminal like him . Returnsnever excuse how Penguin find the blueprints , and give how crucial secrecy and surety are to Batman , a right explanation was perhaps needed . The closest thing viewers have to one is found in the moving-picture show ’s novelisation by Craig Shaw Gardner .
A deleted scene fromBatman Returnswould have had Penguin ’s henchmen test and snap the Batmobile while it was parked , setting up its sabotage .
TheBatman Returnsnovel reveal that the Penguin obtained the Batmobile ’s blueprints from Max Shreck , who took them from a dissatisfied mechanic who go on the Batmobile . This explanation is questionable , asReturnsimplies that Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth are the designers , constructor , and sole upholder of the Batmobile . Moreover , for Batman to earmark even a possibility of the Batmobile ’s blueprints to fall into the hands of someone like Max Shreck would be uncharacteristically lax for someone as surety - conscious as him .
Batman: Revolution Must Explain This Batman Returns Plot Hole
Despite add together more linguistic context to many scenes in the BurtonBatmanmovies , Batman : Resurrectiondid not address this issue , but there is still another opportunity to make sense of it . John Jackson Miller ’s forthcomingBatman : Revolutionwill be liberate in the fall of 2025 , and it will be set up between the events ofResurrectionandReturns . Revolutionis in the idealistic spot to bring home the bacon a more sensitive account for how The Penguin incur the blueprints of the Batmobile inBatman Returns , especially sinceBatman : Resurrectionalready tied the Penguin more intimately to events prior to the continuation film .
