A mild thumbs up as an interesting diversion, but the final reveal of the villain's identity was stupid and disappointing.

[Dukefrukem]

Yeh I agree.

Obligatory 'Needs more Kevin Conroy' in Victorian Age Gotham City. It was quite chilling seeing Huge Strange being torn apart by crazed Arkham inmates. Batman animated films have always been dark, but that was about the darkest I've seen. And the hand to hand fighting in front of the moonlight was some of the better animation I've seen from a Sam Liu film. But the ending reveal was about as disappointing as it gets.

[Skitch]

Yep agreed. I was really into it until that ending. Felt so hollow and unimaginative.

I didn't mind the twist but I think it's because it's the same from the original comics... I'm not sure, though. It's been a while.

Other than that, excellent, classy animation and voice-work as usual.

[Skitch]

Oh really? Huh. I didn't know that.

[Grouchy]

Nah, I was wrong (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotham_by_Gaslight).

I never got around to reading that one. I need to, that sounds cool. Liked that ending better.
