Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (2023 Edition) | 
so-soKind of a strange mix. Batman lore has enough inherent darkness, I figured going back to the 19th century would have been enough for the vibes without including a rewrite of Jack the Ripper, but it certainly works as a vigilante vs evil foil. The exhibition/man of tomorrow story felt high on melodrama and low on plot, though I appreciate a story that ends with a significant other sticking around after the Batman alterego discovery. 1/?
Robotswithpersonality 2/? Still confused about the fluctuating hair colour and decolletage on the heroine/damsel though - was there a miscommunication between artists or did they decide burning building rescuing kid called for a high neckline vs proclaiming doom required blonder hair and more boob? The other two stories felt a bit more tacked on, and somewhat in the middle of storylines I haven't read. 6mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 I really loved the art in the Marvels Return of the Thunder/Convergence Shazam. The Search for Ray Palmer felt too much like fragments of other storylines, but Donna Troy's night sky getup and hair effect was a captivating costume. Overall diverting speculations from main continuity. 6mo
