Batman:
Gotham By Gaslight
takes place at the turn of the century as America’s continued
industrial revolution is to be showcased at a World’s Fair hosted
by Gotham City. But while the world prepares to witness the glittery
glory of Gotham’s technological advances, there is a killer loose
in the city’s darkest shadows. Preying on the city’s women, this
killer is as precise as he is cruel. As Police
Commissioner James Gordon
tries to calm the fears of Gotham’s citizens regarding the butcher
called Jack the Ripper, the masked vigilante Batman
enacts his own detective work – with the help of confident, capable
Selina
Kyle – to stop the Ripper’s murderous spree.
Witness a world in flames as the notorious serial killer’s
controlled savagery meets the calculated stealth of the Dark
Knight.
