The latest sequel to 1989s Batman John Jackson Millers Batman: Resurrection has a number of connections to Tim Burtons Batman series and its comic continuation. The two Burton Batman films are part of several branching timelines, with the first being the Joel Schumacher Batman films Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Sam Hamm and Joe Quinoness Batman 89 and Batman 89: Echoes comics also continue the story of Michael Keatons Batman, aligning far more with 1989s Batman and Batman Returns.
