DC Comics Reveals Their Latest Direct-To-Video Film & It May Leave You Jumping For Joy
Batman and Harley Quinn is set to release on DVD in August, but a list of the film's special features have already found its way online. What is DC's latest animated feature? Click on to find out!
The list of special features for Sam Liu and Bruce Timm's Batman and Harley Quinn recently surfaced and it revealed the DC animated film that will follow August's direct-to-video flick.
According to the list, discovered by ComicBook.com, Batman: Gotham by Gaslight will be the latest film created by DC's animated film division. Sound familiar? It should! Gotham by Gaslight was a DC Comics one-shot written by Brian Augustyn and illustrated by Mike Mignola in 1989. The story centered around the Dark Knight in Victorian times, as he battled against Jack the Ripper.
The comic's official synopsis can be found below.
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.
Due to the success of Gotham by Gaslight, a sequel was created in 1991 titled Master of the Future. It is unclear whether or not DC will adapt that comic after "Gaslight," however, if the animated film has the same amount of success as the comic, you can expect to an announcement shortly after that film is released.
The first sneak peek for Batman: Gotham by Gaslight will be featured on the Batman and Harley Quinn DVD, which hits the shelves on August 29, 2017. If you're anxious to see how this film looks, keep an eye out for that. For now, share your thoughts in the comment section below!
