Third Eye Spotlight: Batman Gotham By Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age

May 19th, 2024

The beloved fan-favorite DC ELSEWORLDS imprint makes its triumphant return this Summer starting with BATMAN GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT: THE KRYPTONIAN AGE #1!!!

Third Eye Faithful – we can’t say it enough: one of the coolest institutions in comics ever has gotta be the DC ELSEWORLDS imprint that first came to popularity in the ’90s.

This special imprint told super dope, self-contained storylines set in alternate timelines and universes that applied unique & compelling takes to the most iconic DCU heroes.

Whether it’s the legendary SUPERMAN RED SON, where Supes’s space pod lands in Stalin-era Russia instead of Smallville, BATMAN IN DARKEST KNIGHT where Bruce is the one who ends up being bestowed that fateful GREEN LANTERN ring, or the book we’re talking about the spiritual successor to, GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT, where a Victorian steampunk era take on GOTHAM has the Dark Knight chasing a very JOKER-esque JACK THE RIPPER… these stories are truly incredible!

It’s been years, and years since ELSEWORLDS was a thing — but hot damn: it’s back, and we could not be more stoked!

WHAT’S THE SCOOP ON GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT: THE KRYPTONIAN AGE?

The new era of Elseworlds kicks off with the return of its crown jewel, the mysterious and gothic world originated by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola!

When a mysterious meteor falls on the wide-open plains of the Midwest, it will unleash a chain of events that find Gotham’s bizarre Batman contending with not just the twin threats of the Catwoman and a mysterious international assassin but also the emergence of superhuman beings beyond all comprehension!

This sequel series expands the 19th-century DC Universe beyond the confines of Gotham City, showcasing bold new visions of once-familiar heroes… Do not miss it!
