Batman Elseworlds I originally missed

Batman sequel I've been looking forward to reading. Mint condition, well priced.

Not as strong as its precursor

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

Picking up where Brain Augustyn's "Gotham by Gaslight," this bit of Batman Victoriana is not as interesting as its precursor. Released in 1992, the art seems less dated and Eduardo Barreto's artwork is strong although does have the atmospherics of Mike Mignola & P. Craig Russell's artwork in the prior book. The story here is much more obvious and fairly cliched, Alexarndre LeRoi, the self-styled Master of the Future, being a Victorian super-villain. LeRoi is obviously Jules Verne's Robur the Conqueror, whose was a prototype for super villains during the Golden and Silver ages of comic books. One of the more interesting elements of Master of the Future is Gotham, which takes the feel of a Western Victorian city more than an East Coast even though the setting does not change--part of the shift is brightness of Barreto's art and part of the shift is the political focus of the trade. Ultimately, the plot seems rushed and the resolution comes entirely too quickly.

A very poor sequel

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

After Gotham by Gaslight, I expected so much more from Master of the Future. It reminds me of some of the more silly stories I read in my youth. I understood now why this did not continue on as a series. Although, I heard this character now exists on earth 58 or some such in the DC Universe. I'm more of a graphic novel kind of guy.

I loved every bit of it

I loved every bit of it. I highly recommend it, specially if you're a Batman fan as I am and want something a bit different.

A Steampunk Continuation to "Gotham by Gaslight"!

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2017

In "Batman: Master of the Future", Brian Augustyn and Eduardo Barreto continue the story begun in "Gotham by Gaslight" in which the Victorian-era Bat-Man continues the fight for justice. Having beaten Jack the Ripper, Bat-Man must again don the cape and cowl to defend Gotham's World's Fair at the turn of the century from Alexandre LeRoi, the Man of Tomorrow, who feels the increasing pace of modernization will destroy society. This story has even more steampunk elements than Augustyn's first Elseworlds tale, with LeRoi using an airship as his base of attack. Fans of the first will likely enjoy this, although Eduardo Barreto's art is markedly different from that of Mike Mignola in the original volume.
