Batman Gotham by Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age #[nn]
Leandro Fernández's cover sets a breathtaking tone, placing a cape-billowing Batman in freefall above a sprawling Victorian Gotham choked with factory smokestacks and iron bridges — the city's gaslit rooftops stretching dizzyingly far below. DC's Elseworlds banner signals that this is anything but a standard Bat-tale, and the subtitle "The Kryptonian Age" hints at a collision of eras that feels genuinely fresh. Andy Diggle and Fernández, with colors by Matt Hollingsworth, make this 2025 hardcover an inviting entry point into a darker, steam-powered world where Gotham's guardian watches over a city on the edge of something extraordinary.
