Awesome read

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2021

This story is a “what If” type of comic. It’s very imaginative and well written. I also love the artwork and this is a great Batman comic book. I highly recommend this one for sure!

"Gotham by gaslight" is a very good comic. I liked it because here, Batman is a detective again, a path that he never ought have abandoned. And he studied with Freud! Brian Augustyn tells the murder of Batman's parents again, and he discovers who is Jack the Ripper!

Great short story of Batman in a period piece

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

Art fits the story perfectly. The writing is good as well. Overall the concept is fantastic: Batman vs Jack The Ripper in Victorian era Gotham. Only nitpick is that I wish the story was longer.

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2013

I had heard about the Jack the Ripper crossover, and bought this to read that story. What I didn't realize was that there were further adventures of this steampunk Batman, included. The primary story was worth the price, and the wait for a new release. The other stories were frosting on the cake. Highly recommended as a break from modern superhero stuff.

This is a great set of stories

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2014

I don't really know what else to say. Yes it's not canon, but if you want to read a wonderful alternative fiction with Batman a hundred years ago, this is really it. I liked both stories; however, I do lean toward the first. The story of Batman tracking down Jack the Ripper is really worth reading.

Fun Elseworlds Batman

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

Presented in this volume are two stories, both written by Brian Augustyn . The first, Gotham By Gaslight, features moody -and quite beautiful!- artwork by Mike Mignola and P. Craig Russell. The featured story imagines a Bruce Wayne/Batman who lived in the late 1880’s and confronts Jack The Ripper, who has made the move from London to Gotham City. The second story, illustrated by Eduardo Barreto, is titled Master of the Future and is a nod toward the Jules Verne’s Master of the World, one of the last stories written by the sci-fi pioneer and which features a Nemo-like madman who gets around in -and attacks!- from a fearsome airship.

Both stories are good in their own way, though I felt the stronger of the two stories was Master of the Future. While I wasn’t quite as wowed by the story presented in Gotham by Gaslight (the “surprise” ending was anything but), I personally enjoyed the art by Mignola and P. Craig Russell a little bit more.

Please don’t take that as a knock against the work of Mr. Barreto!

I just happen to be a MIke Mignola fanatic and seeing his pencils inked by also incredibly talented P. Craig Russell is a unique treat.

So there you have it. I enjoyed the writing in one story a little more than the other and enjoyed the art in the other story a little bit more than the other.

I’m quibbling here. The overall work is definitely worth a look.

Recommended.

Great story arc.

Very good story arc. Can easily read in a 30 minute setting. Maybe an hour. But good story and would definitely recommend it.

Interesting take on Batman that fits perfectly - dark and gothic. Batman vs Jack the Ripper - nuff said, and thats just the beginning my friends!

The start of the Elseworlds saga!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

This one-shot graphic novel is part of DC Comics 'Elseworlds' series - which takes an established character (in this instance, Batman) and inserts them in an alternative world to their normal continuity. Here, Batman exists in a Gotham City of the Victorian era.

Set in the late 1800's, the story allows for Batman to take on a well-known murderous foe: Jack the Ripper!

The story is pretty good. The artwork is very good. And the novelty of the tale is excellent. This was the first Elseworlds graphic novel, and given its success a series of such adventures followed.

If you're a Batman fan, and you enjoy alternate story-lines to the main saga continuity, you'll probably like this.

If you're getting it because of the ripper story - be warned.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

I loved the concept of batman versus Jack the Ripper and the author done really well to bring these two worlds together however, the story is too short and over too quickly then you go on to part 2 where he's facing off against some muskateer dude and quite frankly I found it boring compared to part one when he goes looking for the ripper. The ripper story itself is brilliant even though the ending wasn't that good. It had atmosphere and the artwork wasn't too bad. I loved the look of Batman and Gotham looked fantastic. Recommend for any Batman film.

The Tales Of Batman In 19th Century Gotham City...

I use to read this wonderful ElseWorld Graphic Novel about 14+ Years Ago in my School Library (even took it home a few times as well).
When I saw it on Kindle I had to get it right there & then.

Took me back to being a young Teenager discovering an excellent different take on the Batman I knew so far.
Loved it & will continue to love this Story as I grow Older.

You know what they say, some things just stay with you & this Tale is one of them...

Different, but not great

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 31, 2019

Verified Purchase

Contains two short stories woven together; one about Jack the Ripper coming to Gotham and another one slightly reminiscent of Jules Verne's "Robur the Conqueror". The stories remind me of a Phantom chronicle, taking the readers back to a time before electricity existed - an alternate reality where Batman started his mission as caped crusader in the 1800s rather than modern day.

The actual comic book is printed on glossy paper. The drawings are simplistic, but artful. On the whole, well worth reading.

Highly enjoyable alternate reality Batman story.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

Fantastic 'elseworlds' graphic novel, set in a Victorian Gotham City and pitting the 'Caped Crusader' against history's most notorious serial killer!! Beautifully drawn and atmospheric with a great story, 'Gotham By Gaslight' is a must have for fans of Batman, especially those with an interest in Jack the Ripper. Highly recommended.
