DC has released a new trailer for their repair moving picture that will adapt the famous graphic novel , Gotham by Gaslight . As the title of respect suggest , the movie ( and graphic novel ) will transport the mythology of Batman to the Victorian era . Gotham by Gaslightsees Bruce Wayne in an almost steampunk setting as Gotham is give a consummate makeover but still get by to feel vaguely familiar .
Rather than have Batman hunt down any Victorian - esque takes on The Joker or Two - brass , Bruce Wayne will be hunting one of the most infamous in series killer of all time . This observe the same story of the acclaimed vivid novel byHellboycreator , Mike Mignola . Still , there will be some classical Batman characters contained within the story outside of Bruce Wayne . The source material has Commissioner Gordon and Alfred in the story , and the picture will also include their characters .
The new trailer , released byIGN , gives fans the good look yet at the adaptation , specially its main villain Jack the Ripper . While the fresh movie will adapt the comic , the trailer makes it exonerated thatGotham by Gaslightwill be add its own twist to the Elseworld story by giving Selina Kyle , otherwise known as Catwoman , a major role .
Catwoman is feature in the trailer just much as Jack the Ripper , if not more so . Selina ( voiced byDexter ’s Jennifer Carpenter ) seems to be almost a co - lead in the movie opposite Batman ( Bruce Greenwood ) . Rather than having Selina take any villainous use , it appearsGotham by Gaslight ’s adaptation will go for a more expansive character . Or at the very least , her interests will array with Bruce Wayne in taking down Jack the Ripper . This makes quite a bit of sense since Jack the Ripper , historically , aim distaff victims andCatwoman has long been used as an avenging figurefor abused cleaning woman .
Of course there ’s still plenty of Ripper legal action in the lagger . In addition to seeing Jack hunt his dupe ( one of which appear to be Selina Kyle herself ) the movie also introduces the " tress " that Bruce Wayne will come up himself under suspicion of being the Ripper . Eventually Bruce will be jail for his " crimes . " This is another plot pointedness overturn from the source material . It seems that no matter how muchGotham by Gaslightis changing certain element , it will still be driving for the same in effect creepy-crawly tone of the original and keeping the heart of the storey , one of the best inDC Elseworlds sub - genre , in tact .
There ’s always a prospect that the changes could recoil , however . DC ’s late animated features surrounding Batman , particularlyBatman and Harley Quinnand the recreate adaption ofThe Killing Joke , haven’t been well received . Some of the harshest criticisms of both films have been point at the changes they made to the source material , peculiarly inThe Killing Jokewhere a messy wild-eyed subplot was summate to thestory between Batgirl and Batman .
Fans will get to encounter out how the adaption ofGotham by Gaslight(and the changes being made to it ) turn out when the plastic film eject sometime in 2018 .
