This 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.

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. It is careful never to attribute the deaths of Bruce's Parents to Jack the Ripper (the central Villian of the first half) but leaves it ambiguous.

While this story is very satisfying and features some great ... Read More

The 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

An interesting take on Batman for sure, this story sets Bruce Wayne and his collegues in the Victorian era Gotham. It was cool to see what the city looked like 100 years ago and how the people of that time would have reacted to the dark knight.
There are two seperate stories in here, both written by Brian Augustyn. The first finds Bruce returning home from London after his travels and resuming the role of Batman. It is at this time that a serial killer known as Jack the Ripper appears in Gotham ... Read More
