Gotham By Gaslight

Gotham By Gaslight is a superb 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.

When they adapted GBG into an animated film, they created this nice BF scene.

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, who has arrived in Gotham City and whom Batman squares off against. But Batman teams up with Selena Kyle (better known as Catwoman) in his battle against the Ripper.
