@@thenerddesk111 it's TOTALLY fine...I know. Gotham by Gaslight is really Great ! Even though you're not,...Some people are very nasty and obsessive about Batman (a fictional person by the way) using guns or killing or whatnot in certain stories. They Always make a huge deal about it. Really annoying. Great video and God bless you !!! Both versions of Doom that came to Gotham are top notch. I LOVE Knight Green Arrow !

Batman and Lovecraftian cosmic horror mysteries are made for each other. It allows him to be at his finest as a warrior and a super genius polymathic intellectual while keeping him close to his roots as the world's greatest detective. I love this comic and film. If only a version of the adaptation of it was set in modern times.

Modern times are nowhere near as good as period piece settings. Batman stories need to be set in this time period more often.

Having recently watched The Amazing Screw on Head's pilot based on Mike Mignola's comic. It's such a shame they didn't use his art style in this similar to that. Heck I would've taken even the Hellboy animated movies style while watered down still encapsulates the angular sharp style Mike is known for. And that's not to say the movie is ugly, I just wish these animated DC movies would look more distinct from one another more often and change it up. Good vid.

@@thenerddesk111 it’s an anime-influenced web show that’s been running for a while now. The studio that produced it, Rooster Teeth, got bought by WB, they made some crossover comics, then adapted them into movies in the show’s style, then WB closed the studio. They’re not great watches honestly, but I’ve kinda got a soft spot for ‘em, they’re effectively time capsules from DC animation’s lowpoint and Rooster Teeth’s downfall and a neat little blip in DC’s history.

Honestly this movie failed as both a batman adaptation and Lovecraft adaptation. If you want a better DC vs eldrich god story, I'd recommend Justice League New Frontier. Yes it's more of an homage to the entire DC universe but the and the eldrich god takes a back seat for most of the story, but what little time spent on it is used rather efficiently.
