Hello everyone, today to talk about a DC animated movie, belonging to the parallel world of Batman official production fan tale "Batman: Gotham under the gas lamp"
As a fanfare work that is said to be officially produced, it is obvious that this kind of work can be more open in setting.
The film transitions from modern times to Victorian in Britain, full of steam, carriages, and Sherlock Holmes-toned Batman works.
With the historical event Jack the Ripper as the main target, the whole setting is quite interesting in terms of setting alone.
First of all, let's talk about some of the perceptions of crossing.
As a fan-crossed work, the new shape of the old character has always been one of the selling points, and the two standards of the old man and Ah Fu in this work have not changed much.
It's just that Batman's technological abilities have dropped dramatically and lost a lot of cool skills, resulting in hand-to-hand combat completely occupying the action scenes of the entire work.
In addition, you can also see three Robins in the other world, as well as famous villains including Poison Ivy, Hugo, and Two-Faced.
In fact, from my intuitive point of view, I feel that the charm of this villain crossing is a little light. But with these people on the scene, in the end, nothing is good to watch the old man's one-man show.
Then there is the production problem of the whole work, dc animation film is obviously not too much problem in its drawing, it is still a high frame rate strong storyboard.
As long as you are not too repulsive to the American style, you can quickly accept it.
This time the work is biased towards Sherlock Holmes's British style, in which you can see a lot of Victorian costumes, objects, scenes, and even some small details of tribute to Sherlock Holmes, and also maintain gotham City's usual simple folk customs
Finally, let's talk about the plot of the story.
This time, Batman is obviously more inclined to Sherlock Holmes's suspense detective tone, giving people the feeling that it is a detective film mixed with action scenes.
Batman and Catwoman's relationship this time was directly approved, giving the CP who liked the pair a good bite of sugar.
As a suspense film, the suspensefulness of the work in the early stage is not bad, interlocking, until the final truth is revealed.
And the ending is indeed quite unexpected, anyway, I did not guess who the villain Jack was in the end.
However, the whole work is also very strong, and the final end feels quite anxious, and it is hastily done in a few minutes.
In addition, although there are clues and metaphors, the reason for the final truth is not rigorous enough, and there is a taste of reversal for the sake of reversal.
However, the atmosphere is still rendered in place, so this small detail can be relatively ignored.
Overall, this is a work specifically for Batman fans.
If you have only seen the Nolan trilogy + DC universe of those few film versions I suggest not to watch, this kind of fan-like work should be based on watching the original, otherwise you do not quite understand what its selling point is.
At the very least I would recommend is to have seen a few previous Batman animated films, so try watching them.
In addition, this work has a greater subversion for supporting characters, which is not very suitable, and it is also recommended to watch with caution.
