To quote a Key & Peele sketch, Batman is steampunk now.
Over the decades, animation featuring Batman has taken the Dark Knight down some interesting avenues. Beyond seeing him at best and most green, we’ve seen him get out of his relative comfort zone by singing or becoming a ninja. For his next animated venture, he’ll be winding back the clock all the way back to the 1920s.
Revealed earlier in the week, Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham will see an alternate version of the character (as voiced by David Giuntoli, returning from 2020’s Batman: Soul of the Dragon) in the Gotham of that time period attempt to push back an ancient evil that he accidentally awoke in the first place. The arrival of that being, known as the Lurker on the Threshold, results in a crop of supernatural beings making their presence known in Gotham, such as Ra’s al Ghul (Navid Negahban) and Jason Blood (plus Blood’s demonic alter ego Etrigan, both voiced by Matthew Waterson).
