Best DC movies and shows on HBO Max: Batman: Gotham by Gaslight
Wonder Woman was a good example of a DCEU film set in a historical time period, while Wonder Woman 1984 was a less well-received period piece taking place in the shared universe’s version of the ’80s. If fans are looking for more exceptional stories taking place in different time periods featuring characters from DC Comics, then Batman: Gotham by Gaslight is definitely something that should be at the top of their watchlist.
The film takes place in Victorian-era Gotham City with historical versions of famous DC characters making up the roster. In the film, Batman begins his war on crime while investigating the murder of Jack the Ripper. The twist at the end is amazing, and no one will see it coming.
The critically acclaimed animated motion picture with a solid Rotten Tomatoes score is one of the few DC animated movies that is Rated-R but has been praised as being much better than the adaptation of The Killing Joke. The vocal performances were revered by both fans and critics, adding to the many reasons DCEU fans should check this title out!
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight is without a doubt a well-crafted affair that should definitely be given the live-action treatment at some point in the future, whether it be a show or a movie.
