Batman: Gotham By Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age

Return to Gotham by Gaslight's steam-soaked, alternate Victorian city as Batman confronts a new threat: the Kryptonian Age. In this Elseworlds entry, writer Andy Diggle (The Losers, Green Arrow: Year One) teams with artist Leandro Fernández to reimagine the Dark Knight amid a meteor crash that awakens superhuman powers in the Midwest and unsettles Gotham's lamp-lit streets. Collecting Gotham by Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age #1–6, the story blends mystery, action, and retro-futuristic spectacle, expanding the beloved gaslight saga beyond its 19th-century setting. The narrative threads a noir investigation with pulp-adventure, as Batman edges into a world where heroes and calamity collide with Victorian science and folklore. This edition is a stylish, self-contained chapter that honors the original Gotham by Gaslight while inviting new readers to explore the steampunk DC Universe.
