Gotham By Gaslight

Seeing the sneak preview of the new Batsuit for The Batman yesterday got me in a Dark Knight mood. So I watched Gotham By Gaslight, and realized that it had this scene.

GBG is an Elseworlds tale that has Batman roaming around Gotham City in the 19th century. It's based on the graphic novel by writer Brian Augustyn and artist Mike Mignola--who would go on to create Hellboy afterwards.

Poison Ivy appears here as a dance hall performer, who performs in her bare feet.

GBG does a great job of "re-casting" familiar Batman characters in new roles here, such as Ivy's new career as a dancer.

Unfortunately, Ivy also becomes the first victim of Jack the Ripper, whom Batman squares off against. But Batman teams up with Selena Kyle (better known as Catwoman) in his battle against the Ripper.
