Deleted Scenes - Gotham by Gaslight game

Okay, here's another one that never was.

Apparently, there was a Gotham by Gaslight video game planned at some point.
That's right, a game based on the classic Elseworld story by Brian Augustyn, BATMAN: GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT:

And it was just recently revealed by Day 1 Studio that they had been working on this concept around 2009.
But they lost THQ as publishers (this was before Warner Bros. recently started publishing its games directly), tried redesigning their game and pitch...

Anyway, this was planned for PS3 and Xbox 360.

It looks like an era-specific Arkham Asylum/beat'em up-like game.

Check out these badass pictures:

How would the Mike Mignola-drawn comic look like in 3D?

Here's the only video and in-game rendered visuals available:



Certainly, this was a very early test, but the idea, steampunk look and with the adapted weapons and gimmicks do look nice on paper at least.

Who knows, perhaps when DC/Warner will get bored with the Arkham Asylum/City series, they might actually think about adapting Elseworld comics into video games. There's lots of great concept to use in those!
