Batman: Resurrection - A Novel by John Jackson Miller

Set shortly after the Joker lost a fight with gravity, a stone gargoyle, and the hard pavements of Gotham, Batman: Resurrection examines the lasting impact of the clown prince of crime. The remaining members of the Joker's gang have set up a cult of personality centered around their dead leader, and with wannabe Jokers joining the ranks, they've begun a campaign of arson that threatens to engulf Gotham in flames. Greedy opportunists like Max Shreck have started to exploit the situation and survivors of the Joker's chemical weapon Smylex are overwhelming the city's hospitals.

Caught in the middle of all this chaos is Batman, who continues his fight to protect the innocent as the Caped Crusader.
