Then, Michael Uslan, executive producer of all Batman films since 1989, took to Facebook with this post:

Never officially carried the Elseworlds banner, it is considered the first title in the imprint. The imprint produced stories surrounding DC characters placed in different places and/or different time periods. The stories take place in a continuity separate from DC canon.
Written by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola, Gotham by Gaslight is a one-shot that follows the Batman in the late 19th century as he encounters Jack the Ripper.
Check out Batman and Harley Quinn for a preview, which hits digital shelves on August 15 and physical shelves on August 29.
