#LEGO BATMAN GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT MOVIE#

I enjoyed the movie, but it was poorly made, much like twilight it's about vampires without nothing that makes vampires actually interesting, this movie is about a vigilant in the 19 century without anything that makes a vigilant or the 19 century interesting. In my opinion you might as well just watch something like Zorro or Lone Ranger, or any other masked vigilante that Batman was based on as for me its 'back to basics' tone is just a little too basic, but it is certainly a matter of personal opinion in this regard. Overall if you see this as a short murder mystery there is little to be disappointed by here, and if you crave a more down-to-earth Batman then this will be great for you. It is certainly not one for those who like outlandish superhero action. Batman only vaguely 'Batmans' outside of some grappling-hook action and minor detecting. If there is a problem it is that it has no connection to the greater Batman/DC animated universe and could easily not be a Batman film at all, since outside of the character names themselves there is little to link the two. There is definitely nothing bad to report about this movie, it is a decent little crime noir set in the early 1900s. How much you like this film will definitely depend on how much you are into the Victorian/Steampunk aesthetic, as well as the murder mystery genre in general. A good family film despite the 'R' rating and an excellent treat for fans of the bat. Overplayed Victorian elements (see above) and overplayed Batman elements (Joker) are nowhere to be found. Characters are well written and voiced with Selina Kyle and Harvey Dent being standouts. It is a good mystery that will keep one guessing. In Conclusion: A Sherlock Holmes mystery with a Batman dressing.

If you are going for an 'R' rating and your story is about a serial killer that murders prostitutes it is not as if there is no material to work with. I have to think this us more of a marketing ploy (An Adult Batman Cartoon) rather than a reflection of the material. The violence is muted and the camera turns away from anything possible offensive. The Bad: Why is this an 'R' rated film? There are some adult themes but neither Poison Ivy nor Selina Kyle shows any nudity despite some obvious story beats where it would have been expected. It is a lot of fun seeing well-known characters in their new roles. Selina Kyle (Catwoman) takes the role similar to Sherlock's love interest Irene Adler and three Robins (Dick, Jason, and Tim) take a role similar to the Baker Street Irregulars. The movie has Batman in the role of Sherlock Holmes with focus on detective work rather than Bat punching. Hugo Strange is a progressive doctor running a psychiatric hospital and Poison Ivy is a vaudeville stripper. Commissioner Gordon, Alfred the Butler, and Harvey Dent keep their old roles. Gotham by Gaslight also finds proper roles for Batman's Rogue gallery and his allies. It is a realistic (relatively) style environment with people that act like people actually did back then (Guy in Bat costume excepted).

Nobody invents an airplane powered by a diamond. Can Commissioner Gordon solve the cases with the help of his prosecutor Harvey Dent and Dent's millionaire childhood chum Bruce Wayne? The Good: The greatest thing about Gotham by Gaslight is what it doesn't do. Also stalking the night is a masked vigilante known only as The Bat. There is a killer afoot named Jack the Ripper stalking the streets. But against the Ripper, Batman struggles mightily and it's fantastic.Batman: Gotham by Gaslight: It is Victorian times and Gotham is looking a little Londonish. That's not to say this Batman is less capable than other versions we get to see his combat ability when he squares off against the massive Big Bill and Cyrus Gold and handles them with ease. And believe me when I say that Batman gets his ass handed to him on more than one occasion.

In other words, he has to resort to his wits and his fists more often than not.

This version of Batman still has gadgets, but they're steampunk by design and not nearly the Swiss Army Knife his utility belt is in modern times. And when it comes to action, Gotham by Gaslight features some of my favorite Batman fight-or-flight sequences ever.

It's also appropriate for the story itself in that it's not over the top or overused, rather it serves to highlight some awkward moments or character beats. The humor is, thankfully, spot-on and both period and character-appropriate. The opportunity to put Poison Ivy, Bruce Wayne, Alfred, the various Robins, Bullock, Jim Gordon and more in the Victorian era was well-served by this tale.
