Batman: Gotham by Gaslight - 4K Blu-Ray [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

Being a Batman fan, I jumped at the chance to own this on Blue ray. Like the comic book version, Bruce Wayne’s alter ego confronts a Jack The Ripper type villain in 1900’s Gotham City. The animation could have been a little better. However, a well written plot, and being done in 1:75 aspect ratio, made this a worthy addition to my DC collection.

This is one of the better DC Animated Universe movies. The story and the Victorian style are great and it is fun to see how different Batman characters are used in this time frame. That being said, the animation style is really poor even compared to other DC animated movies. The animation in the included bonus episodes of Batman: the Animated Series and Batman: the Brave and the Bold are much more fluid and detailed than the stilted and less defined animation in this movie. The Blu-ray A/V is good, despite the poor animation. The bonus features are the standard ones for DC animated movies: commentary, making of, bonus cartoons, and previews for other DC animated films. Despite the poor animation, I do recommend this movie!

Another nice DCU animated film. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Its nice to see something a little different than what were accustomed to when it comes to the Batman live action films anyways. The animated versions allows some diversion from the norm and its welcomed. This is decently animated, not top notch, but serviceable. It also has some nice special features to dig into and a commentary track. A good well rounded package that should please most Batman animated fans.

this is not a traditional Batman animated movie as it is set in the old times of I believe before the turn of the 20th century. They are familiar characters in different settings including Batman who is more detective in this storyline. Don't want to spoil much but it's different, not modern, but fascinating how they use these characters in a old setting. The ending is also surprising, at least for me it was. Must watch.

Keep in mind that this isn't a 100% faithful adaptation of the Elseworlds graphic novel of the same name. It takes the basic premise of the graphic novel but changes some of the major plot points in it. Having said that, it's still an excellent animated DC movie. Say what you want about DC's current day live-action movies but their animated movies are first-rate and this movie is further proof of that!
