Day One Studios was set to make what would likely have been a pretty sweet game, Gotham by Gaslight, adapted from the 1989 comic featuring Batman vs. Jack the Ripper in 19th century Gotham.

Day One took this to THQ in 2009 with an eye toward release for XBox 360 and PlayStation 3, but sadly the publisher gave it a pass.

Given the obvious appeal of a steampunk Arkham City type game, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if something similar to this ends up getting made one day in the not-too-distant future. I'd certainly like the opportunity to play this, as the demo looks awesome. Maybe bring some of the developers over to RockSteady, and make something happen for the next-gen XBox? Pretty please?
