A mysterious meteor has crashed into the idyllic plains of the American Midwest, setting in motion a chain of events that will echo across history! How will Batman content with the immergence of super beings beyond anything the 19th century has seen? And how will the rest of this lamp-lit incarnation of Gotham handle these cataclysmic events?

Return to Elseworlds! 

Over 30 years ago, the DC Universe was rocked by the introduction of Elseworlds, a line of comics that reimagined familiar DC heroes in incredible new ways. The very first to blaze the trail was Gotham By Gaslight, which envisioned the Dark Knight hunting down Jack the Ripper in the year 1889. Now, fans have an opportunity to return to the Victorian-era Gotham with a brand-new chapter! Gotham By Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age continues the steampunk epic with writer Andy Diggle (The Losers, Green Arrow: Year One) and artist Leandro Fernández (The Old Guard)!
