Batman's journey to Victoria

As the famous Victorian killer "Jack the Ripper" can definitely be regarded as one of the leaders, and this time Jack is not facing the police at the time, but Batman in the parallel universe. This in itself is a very interesting gimmick, but in the end it feels like an anticlimax.

But there is no shortage of bright spots. Because it is in the parallel universe, there is no need to be limited to the settings in the original work, so we can see: a different lawyer Dante, the last BOSS Director Gordon, and the Poison Ivy girl who received a lunch box at the beginning of the game without fighting back. . But because the film set a suspense right from the beginning, who the Ripper is. However, when the final mystery was revealed, it lacked the necessary foreshadowing, and lacked the profile of Director Gordon, which made the final reveal of the identity really abrupt. I feel that there should be better room for play.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight quotes

  • Selina Kyle: A mutual friend told me you like to solve mysteries, ever since you were a boy. You're studying me.

    Bruce Wayne: You're a fascinating subject.

    Selina Kyle: And what have you learned?

    Bruce Wayne: Only that you were raised in a small, regional circus, probably in a family of performers. That some traumatic event, possibly connected to the scar on your left arm that you're trying to conceal, led you to the continent, where you reinvented yourself as a night club performer.

    Selina Kyle: Nothing else?

    Bruce Wayne: That you take it upon yourself to act as champion of the voiceless. Which you, no doubt, learned from our mutual friend, Sister Leslie Thompkins. One of the few people who knew me as a boy.

  • Alfred Pennyworth: I've laid out your mourning clothes.

    Bruce Wayne: I have my own manner of mourning.

    Alfred Pennyworth: Revenge.

    Bruce Wayne: Her blood cries out for it.

    Alfred Pennyworth: Does it, sir? "Beloved, avenge not yourselves, vengeance is mine. I will repay, sayeth the Lord." She wouldn't want you to be alone right now.

    Bruce Wayne: It's how I work best, Alfred... But I can pay my respects.
