Description So, after reading some golden age batman comics, and watching some shorts...I thought of something...how come DC hasn't made an elseworld series with Batman in a 1930s Noir setting? That would be SO perfect! Heck, Im sure Im not the only one who have thought about this, so why hasn't this happened yet? When DC has done Any batman noir stuff, its mostly just black and white versions of stories that are already popular and famous, like A black and white version of Killing joke as an example. 

Anyway, here is what I imagine what Batman and Alfred would look like in a 1930s noir setting. I may do some more of these with other characters too. 

Batman and Alfred belongs to DC comics.

I agree that Batman and Gotham City would fit a Noir setting.  I imagine it'd be much less action-focused, though, and more dramatic conversations between Batman and his enemies.

Heh, I imagine that too! I do think there would be some action, but like you said more conversations.

I guess because Marvel has an entire Noir universe DC won't thread in it it, I suspect...though Batman would fit right in with a noire setting

I suppose that makes sense...but with how DC and marvel have been known to copy each other from time to time, I don't think it should be a problem. besides, Noir is a genre. Marvel can't take copyright on that!

Ya, I haven't read it myself yet, but its called "Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham". Your batman design is almost exactly how Batman looked in that story! But again I have not read it, but its on my to read list

Ah! the Doom that came to Gotham, I remember that one. Not completely sure if I would call it a Batman: Noir story as it is more inspired by Lovecraft stories with horror and such, rather then Detective noir stories, but its been a long while since I read it, so I may remember it a bit differently. (Really need to give it a read again soon)
