David McK (3425 KP) rated Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (Victorian Batman, #1-2) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Victorian-set stories, that re-imagines the Bat in Victorian times, with the first (of the 2) in this seeing Bruce Wayne framed for killings carried out by Jack the Ripper. Yes, that Jack the Ripper, who has appeared in Gotham city following his killing spree in London.
The second - not as good - story sees Bruce Wayne struggling to decide whether to take up the mantle of the Bat again when Gotham City's World fair is attacked, by the 'Master of the Future'.
I'd recommend the first; the second is so-so.
