6/10

My all-time favourite superhero film (_Batman: The Dark Knight Returns_) is an animated DC movie, so I'm always willing to give a chance to whatever they bring out in my never-ending search to find the next great one. Unfortunately, most end up being pretty poor offerings. But there's a decent number that end up somewhere in the middle, and _Gotham by Gaslight_ is on the higher end of that spectrum in between.

The voice acting offers nothing special. Stylistically, the animation leaves a lot to be desired (don't let that gorgeous poster fool you). But it's the story that's truly important, and here _Gotham by Gaslight_ finds enough success in its Elseworld telling to come off with a win.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

Greenwood is Batman, and that is sort of jarring because, at least for me it's like JFK being Batman. But also to be fair, I didn't catch it was him until almost the end.

Yeah... this works but it doesn't seem to know if it wants to be Victorian London or H. H. Holmes Chicago. It really can't make up it's mind, and since Gotham is fictional it still works.

It's a fun Elsworlds story made to break continuity and let the writers play around a bit, and, Batman not only fits the era, but they did a very good job of bringing Bruce Wayne into the era as well, and that is what some writers tend to forget.

You've reached the end.
