The film is inspired by the landmark one-shot Elseworlds tale by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola as a steampunk Batman takes on Jack the Ripper in turn-of-the-century Gotham City.Â
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight takes place at the turn of the century as Americaâs continued industrial revolution is to be showcased at a Worldâs Fair hosted by Gotham City. But while the world prepares to witness the glittery glory of Gothamâs technological advances, there is a killer loose in the cityâs darkest shadows. Preying on the cityâs women, this killer is as precise as he is cruel. As Police Commissioner James Gordon tries to calm the fears of Gothamâs citizens regarding the butcher called Jack the Ripper, the masked vigilante Batman enacts his own detective work â with the help of confident, capable Selina Kyle â to stop the Ripperâs murderous spree. Witness a world in flames as the notorious serial killerâs controlled savagery meets the calculated stealth of the Dark Knight.
