Initially an alternate universe one-shot and later billed as one of DC’s first Elseworlds stories, “Gotham By Gaslight” was recently adapted into one of DC’s animated features. Alexis, Chris, Jesse Starcher and Mark Radulich take a look at the original comic and discuss just what unfolds in a tale where Batman fights crime in Gotham in the late 19th century. Not only that but he must face one of the century’s most notorious villains, Jack the Ripper!
