Batman: Gotham by Gaslight is an upcoming DC Universe Animated Original Movies film set in the Victorian era and based on a one-shot Elseworlds graphic novel (by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola) of the same name. Gotham by Gaslight sees Batman as the vigilante guardian of Gotham City circa 1889 and pits the Dark Knight against the infamous Jack the Ripper.

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?
