Now, in a new DC
Comics Animated Original Movies, the story comes to life in a unique way
while also giving fans a new spin on the tale.
Sam
Liu directs Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, a 78-minute movie written by
Jim Krieg and adapted from the original Graphic Novel and its sequel
Master of the Future, also written by Brian Augustyn.
While
keeping the core elements and the dark tone of the original comics, the
film takes interesting turns that will surprise people who already read
the books, creating a completely new story.
Mike
Mignola's incredible use of shadow is something hard to emulate in
animated form, but the filmmakers succeed in replicating Mignola’s style
to a degree, and they play well enough with steampunk aesthetic,
resulting in a unique and interesting vision of a Victorian-era Gotham
City.
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight is available now on Digital HD, Blu-ray/DVD, and 4K.
