Gotham by Gaslight was the first Elseworlds story, created and released before Elseworlds was actually a thing When it did so well Elseworlds was created to capitalize on the success of Gotham by Gaslight Which is a good thing.
LOVE Justice Riders. I think The Nail should be in the top 5. There was one that focused on the Masons. It had Plastic Man in it. The JLA was a secret.
Almost perfect list Adam My Man , I say almost perfect because IMO Kingdom Come should be #1, The Batman vampire trilogy # 2 , & it’s practically sacrilegious not to include The Killing Joke in the top 10 …but I guess it can be in part 2 ( Please) along with maybe: Superman Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow, ElseWorld’s Finest , Justice League Gods & Monsters, & Batman Joker’s Advocate …Keep Up The Great Work ✌🏾🖖🏾
Well, "The Killing Joke" isn't technically an Elseworlds story as the events of that book had impact on the mainstream DC Universe--most notably, the shooting and paralyzing of Barbara Gordon, ending her Batgirl career and leading to her becoming Oracle. Also, the same basically applies to "Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" as that was just "an imaginary story" (as many people would remind, "but, aren't they all?") that closed out the Silver Age Superman's story in a way that didn't tie in to the Crisis on Infinite Earths. (Since DC was planning on relaunching all its books in the wake of Crisis, the company let Alan Moore write one "final" Silver-Age Superman story to close out both "Action Comics" and "Superman" before they relaunched post-Crisis under John Byrne's guidance.)
@@rodneylindsey849 Actually, no, it wasn't. The "Elseworlds" concept didn't come along until "Gotham by Gaslight." And, again, as DC pretty much accepted the events of "The Killing Joke" as part of mainstream continuity almost immediately, there was no opportunity for it to be an "Elseworlds" story. It's worth noting too that the "Elseworlds" concept as DC intended it was to take DC's heroes and put them in different situations from the norm and the basic story of "The Killing Joke" was little different from a standard Batman vs Joker story. The current understanding of "Elseworlds" has been pretty much rendered moot since ALL the "Elseworlds" concepts have effectively been turned into alternate DC universes (the most popular ones were done so in the "Countdown" lead up to "Final Crisis" mostly in the "Countdown: Search for Ray Palmer" one-shot series while the rest were folded into the mainstream DCU "omniverse" following the "Infinite Frontier" event).
TBH, I never got the love for 'Gotham by Gaslight'. The aesthetics are there, sure, but who didn't figure out who the killer was as soon as this character we've never heard of before was introduced and then there were NO other suspects? The film did better in that regards by miles.
And yet another video where this kid has to insult Superman. We get it dude, you don’t like the grand daddy/greatest hero of all time. For a “nerd” you certainly don’t respect the character that started it all.
Kingdom Come is AMAZINGLY written and illustrated. I've read it at least a dozen times and I find some new little detail hidden inside each time.
The DC Elseworld Stories of Batman and Superman are awesome also Superman Red Son is an amazing story as a comicbook and movie.
Superman’s Red Sun story would be interesting as a DC movie
They have it as an animated movie.
Gotham by Gaslight was the first Elseworlds story, created and released before Elseworlds was actually a thing
When it did so well Elseworlds was created to capitalize on the success of Gotham by Gaslight
Which is a good thing.
2:19 nah bro you can't just drop a statement like that

DC should do a Hellraisers version of the DC universe or at least a Hellraiser version of the Justice League.

I’ll give you Superman: Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow, but The Killing Joke was initially a ElseWorld story 🖖🏾

Thought Speeding Bullets would have been on this
This list is in desperate need of a part two
What happened to the good old days when there was only one universe and one of each character.
Diggin the beard, Andrew!
GREAT COMICS CONTENT 👍😉👍

Go Adam 👍💪🏻
No mention of JLA Riddle of the beast?
LFG
Should of been called batracula
No hate because I love top 10…but there’s too many comic runs in history for these videos to be half repeated content
