- A Victorian Dark KnightI'm not much of a graphic novel or comic book person, in fact I can count the one's I have read on one hand. Occasionally something will grab my attention and Batman: Gotham By Gaslight certainly did just that recently in a bookstore. Set in a Victorian era version of Gotham City, this graphic novel (which is in fact the combing of two stories: Gotham By Gaslight and its sequel Master Of The Future both written by Brian Augustyn) is an interesting what if look at a Victorian Dark Knight.

- Doesn't deliver what's suggestedThis book contains two stories: "Gotham by Gaslight" and "Master of the Future". The latter is nothing special, and hardly uses the 19th century setting at all. "Gaslight" is better because of its darker subject matter, but it's painfully obvious who the bad guy is, and the book suffers from comparison with the much superior "From Hell".
I was expecting to get some steampunk-type action, but that never really happens.

- Interesting take, but uneven...This has got to be one of the most interesting Batman Elseworlds Stories in a long time. Most of them just get too wound up into explaining his origin in that setting. Gotham By Gaslight does not.

However the story is uneven, having bursts of genius followed by uninteresting banter. The first story Gotham By Gaslight is the real jewel in this collection. ... Read More

- Batman VS Jack the RipperBatman: Gotham by Gaslight was the first tale of DC's Elseworlds label, putting an alternate reality twist on DC's most iconic characters. This TPB features Gotham by Gaslight, as well as it's lesser sequel, Master of the Future. Both are written by Brian Augustyn, but Gotham by Gaslight is undoubtedly the best of both, as we witness Batman of 1889 face-off against the murderous Jack the Ripper, who may have ties into Bruce Wayne's tragic past. While this story is very satisfying and features some great ... Read More

- A LetdownThe premise for Gotham by Gaslight was so really intriguing, so I was pretty excited to read it. That excitement pretty much evaporated after about the first two or three pages. The artwork was really bland and the dialogue was very forgettable. The plot was so obvious that anyone with half a brain could have figured out exactly what was going to happen after about the first five pages. Another flaw I found was that it was too short for any of the characters to develop whatsoever. To sum up, great premise, ... Read More
