Creative DC fans imagine what Batman and Gotham would look like if the Dark Knight existed in the early 20th century. The DC Multiverse has introduced many versions of Batman throughout the years, from the Soviet Red Son Batman to the Batman Who Laughs and the Apokoliptian Darkfather — not to mention all live-action Batman portrayals on the big and the small screen. Batman"s DC lore is highly adaptable in every medium, which explains why the Dark Knight is constantly reinvented.
Die-hard Batman fans on the YouTube channel The Batfeed create a whole DC continuity set in the years 1919-1939, complete with realistic black-and-white footage of Gotham City, Batman, and several Gotham villains. The series follows "Bat-Man" as he faces multiple enemies such as Joker, Two-Face, the Penguin, and Catwoman. Watch the full first season below:
