Batman: Gotham by Gaslight
In an age of mystery and superstition, how would the people of Gotham react to a weird creature of the night, a bat-garbed vigilante feared by the guilty and the innocent alike? The very first Elseworlds tale re-imagines the Dark Knight detective in the Victorian era and puts him against the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper.

In Batman: Gotham By Gaslight, the world is well-constructed and there are some standout performances, but the story at its core isn't as strong as it ought to be.

It's a rich concept, one that doesn't completely deliver due to regressive representation and predictable plot beats. But fans of the Elseworlds source material, steampunk, or Batman will find enough to like here.
