Product ReviewsBatman: Gotham by Gaslight (DVD, 2018)

A Good Batman Version

There are 2 things worth noting about this movie: 1)It is NOT a movie about Bruce Wayne's Grandpa as some kind of early version Batman. Rather, the entire cast and crew of present day Batman - Batman, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Selena Kyle, etc - are all set in 1890's Gotham, as if it had always been that way from the beginning. No time travel is involved; it's just an alternate storyline, and 2)This is an adult comic book fan oriented movie with 4-letter words galore and suggestive sex scenes.

Having established the above, it is a very good movie that moves fairly quickly thru the storyline. And here Batman is far less invincible than in other versions. The main protagonist in the movie is a former bare-knuckle John L. Sullivan style boxing champion, and he more than holds his own against the Batman, even beats him in a couple of one-on-one encounters. Also less tek gadgets too. Batman seriously comes across as a masked nighttime vigilante, who is only slightly above average when it comes to both street fighting and detective skills. Since Batman by definition isn't super-powered, I found this version more believable.

All-in-all a good addition for the Batman video series collector.Read full review...

Batman: Gotham By Gaslight

This is a new and different take on Batman, and it works. I wasn’t sure about a Batman 1920’s story but it was pretty freaking good. In this story we see Batman take on the notorious Jack The Ripper. I will tell you one thing this movie takes on a twist that you will not see coming. I really enjoyed this movie, the story, voice cast and animation is great this is a movie for die-hard Batman fans/superhero/dc fans that want to see a new and fresh take on The Dark Knight. If you have not seen this movie then I recommend you do this movie is cinematasticRead full review...

Great and entertaining.

The alternate DC Universe with Batman in an earlier time period is fascinating.I would have liked to see more details on this Batman's origins. Other than that.....A very different and entertaining vision of the superhero.Read full review...
