It’s supposedly leaked, but I have to wonder whether I should be writing ‘leaked.’ After all, what is the downside of people learning a month and a half early that the upcoming Batman and Harley Quinn DVD is going to have a sneak peek at a hitherto-unannounced Gotham By Gaslight project? The original title is popular,* and strategically revealing the feature on the DVD may spark both sales and interest.
I mean, I may now pick up B&HQ. Because Gotham By Gaslight would be pretty cool, if they do it right. And if it works, they could do The Doom That Came To Gotham, which would also be pretty cool (and is exactly what you’d expect it to be, from the title).

*For those who don’t know, it’s a Mignola/Augustyn Batman story that reimagines him in Victorian England, hunting Jack the Ripper. The favorable reception of this caused DC to come up with their alternate DC history Elseworld series. So, pretty seminal, there.
OOOOOooooooooo.
Looking forward to this one.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen more Hellboy animated movies. The two released were excellent, with a built in fanbase. Could this lead to Dark Horse licensing animation to DC? (Yeah, vanishingly unlikely, but fanboy must hope.)
Wait .. the two live-action Hellboy movies .. or were there others I missed?

(if the latter, there goes another weekend …)

There are also two animated movies. Hellboy: Sword of Storms, and Hellboy: Blood and Iron. Both are very good.

The first is completely it’s own thing, the second borrows heavily from the comics, specifically the later story of Ilsa Haupstein.
