Batman takes on a new kind of enemy in ‘Gotham by Gaslight’
I have been lucky to watch many of the DC animated films. A few have been amazing, others good and some were disappointing. Batman has gone on a lot of adventures over the years, even to different time periods. When news that ‘Gotham by Gaslight’ was being made into an animated film, I couldn’t wait to see it. I was lucky to get a review copy and here is what I thought of this movie.
You can read the plot for ‘Gotham by Gaslight’ here:
Gotham City, at the turn of the century, is experiencing a golden era of discovery and industry as showcased by affluent businessman Bruce Wayne’s World Fair. Down in the darkest alleys, there is a killer on the loose. Preying on the city’s women, this killer is as precise as he is cruel. As Police Commissioner James Gordon tries to calm the fears of Gotham’s citizens over the butcher named Jack the Ripper, the masked vigilante Batman does some detective work of his own, with the help of the sultry and surefooted Selina Kyle. Witness a world in flames as the killer’s controlled savagery meets the calculated stealth of the Dark Knight!
‘Gotham by Gaslight’ was dark, gritty, full of drama, suspense, action and took me on an amazing trip to another time. It was a real joy to see the Dark Knight take on Jack the Ripper, and it proved to be one of his toughest tasks yet. ‘Caped Fear: The First Elseworld’ takes viewers into many of the aspects of turning this tale into an animated film, the history of the series, and why they think fans still love it after all this time. You also get a behind the scenes sneak peek at the next DC animated film ‘Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay’ which sounds like it will be nuts, in a good way.
