Gotham By Gaslight
''Gotham by Gaslight'' is a DC Comics one-shot by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola, with inks by P. Craig Russell. The story revolves around a 19th-century version of Bruce Wayne making his debut as Batman just as Jack the Ripper has arrived in Gotham City. '' Gotham by Gaslight'' is considered to be the first Elseworlds story in which DC Comics characters from alternate timelines or realities are featured in stories outside of the DC Universe canon. At the time the story was first published, the Elseworlds concept had not been established yet and initial printings were not labeled as such. Subsequent printings of ''Gotham by Gaslight'', however, have incorporated the ''Elseworlds'' logo. It spawned one sequel, ''Batman: Master of the Future'' (1991), also written by Augustyn, with art by Eduardo Barreto.

Legends Of The Dark Knight
''Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight'', often simply called ''Legends of the Dark Knight'', is the name of several DC comic books featuring Batman. The original series launched in 1989 as the third major monthly Batman title, following the popularity of Tim Burton's 1989 film ''Batman''. Many of the stories follow the tone of Frank Miller's '' Batman: Year One''. The series differed from other Batman titles of the time. The creative team rotated with every story arc and the stories stood alone, unlike the inter-connected nature of other Batman comics. Initially the title ran stories contained to five issues, often with more mature topics and sensibilities than the other Batman titles. After issue #20, the number of issues for each story began to vary and occasionally tied into crossover events. Most stories in ''Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight'' are set early in Batman's career, although a few are set in the present and even the future. Stories set early in Batman's career ...

A Death In The Family (comics)
"A Death in the Family" is a 1988 storyline in the American comic book ''Batman'', published by DC Comics. It was written by Jim Starlin and penciled by Jim Aparo, with cover art by Mike Mignola. Serialized in ''Batman'' #426–429 from August to November 1988, "A Death in the Family" is considered one of the most important Batman stories for featuring the death of his sidekick Robin at the hands of his archenemy, the Joker. Jason Todd, the second character to assume the Robin persona, was introduced in 1983 to replace Dick Grayson, who was unavailable for use at the time. Jason became unpopular among readers after 1986, as writers began to characterize him as rebellious and impulsive. Editor Dennis O'Neil was considering having Jason revamped or written out of ''Batman'' when he recalled a 1982 ''Saturday Night Live'' sketch in which Eddie Murphy encouraged viewers to call the show if they wanted him to boil a lobster on air.
