“Batman: Gotham by Gaslight” Game Footage Surfaces – Comic Book Resources
There have been many provocative tales featuring Batman over the years, but one that stands out for many longtime fans of the Dark Knight is “Gotham By Gaslight,” an Elseworlds tale from the creative team of Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola. The 1989 one-shot placed Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego in 1889, pitting him head-to-head against one of the most notorious killers of that time: Jack the Ripper. It made for a fascinating and rather popular story, spawning a sequel, several toys and statues over the years — and, at one point in time, it was the subject of a potential video game.
Siliconera has posted video footage for a pitch for a game based on “Gotham by Gaslight” put together by Day 1 Studios, the team behind “F.3.A.R.” and “Fracture.” The game would have been an adaptation of the comic’s story, placing the player in Batman’s shoes as you attempted to solve the mystery of and stop the murders in Gotham City by Jack the Ripper.
