It's official! A look at the upcoming Batman and Harley Quinn special features section has confirmed that Warner Bros. is working on the new Batman: Gotham By Gaslight animated film. Earlier this year, 'Dexter' star Jennifer Carperter revealed at Wizard World: St. Louis that she was attached to an animated film of the same title, but was mum on who the studio was. She will be providing the voice of the Dark Knight's current bride-to-be, Catwoman. This reveal, if and when confirmed, means that the studio will be making changes to the original story as readers of this beloved one-shot know that Catwoman was not involved in it.
Here is the official synopsis for the film-
"In an age of mystery and superstition, how would the people of Gotham react to a weird creature of the night, a bat-garbed vigilante feared by the guilty and the innocent alike? The very first Elseworlds tale re-imagines the Dark Knight detective in Victorian times and pits him against the infamous murderer Jack the Ripper."
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight did have a sequal story known as Master of the Future (1991), written by Augustyn with drawing done by Eduardo Barreto. With that knowledge, it is possible that the animated film may already have it's on sequal to be released, should Gotham By Gaslight sell well.
For your first look at the upcoming Batman: Gotham by Gaslight animated movie, be sure to check out the return of Loren Lester as Nightwing, Kevin Conroy as Batman, Animator Bruce Timm and new Harley Quinn voice actor Melissa Ranch (The Big Bang Theory) and grab Batman and Harley Quinn on August 29, 2017 at whatever place you still go to buy DVDs.
