Drake Winston is in the novel, so Batman: Resurrection is 10000% in the same timeline as the Batman '89 comics.
Noticed a mistake hereSuperman Returns Chapter 18 (1:01:23 - 1:06:39)
Superman Returns Chapter 19 (1:06:40 - 1:11:48)
Superman Returns Chapter 20 (1:06:40 - 1:17:12)
Superman Returns Chapter 21 (1:17:13 - 1:17:53)
Maybe in this universe he is played by Shawn Wayans instead though… winkDrake Winston is in the novel, so Batman: Resurrection is 10000% in the same timeline as the Batman '89 comics.
Yeah I think under Gunn there will be a lot more focus/importance on consistent continuity between these books or comics based on pre-existing continuities.I finished the audiobook today. I am starting to wonder if the long delays in Batman 89 Echos are due to efforts to reconcile it with this book. Without spoiling there is a character setup in the book who is appearing in Echos. The next book could be the backstory for where they end up in Echos.
I remember when The Flash came out there was surprise that the comic creators were not informed of what movie was doing. But ultimately it made no difference. That movie is decades in the future from anything in the comics. Besides the altered timeline questions. Nothing contradicts anything. All we see is an old Bruce Wayne. No mention of other unseen characters
But these new books and the comics are a totally different situation. Both are close to the other time wise and over lap in characters. Plus there has been a lot of changes in DC and WB in recent years. Would not surprise if a dictate came from above to coordinate things between. The small references in other DC books are mostly Easter Eggs. Which do not always line up.
But these prose novels and comic books are being sold under the same Burtonverse label at almost exactly the same time. Makes sense to both go in parallel tracks even if they are not telling same stories.
