Forty Days of Frankenstein, Bits and Pieces: Here’s something pretty amazing that I just ran across this week. This is a 1995 Elseworlds mashup between the Batman origin story and the 1931 Frankenstein film. It’s pretty great. For those who might not know what an “Elseworlds” is, it’s basically the DC comics version of “What If?” In this case, what if Bruce Wayne was a Victorian era medical student with a hunchback assistant named Alfredo, who uses forbidden science involving the “biological energy” of a bat, to try to bring his murdered father Thomas back to life. The resultant Monster starts out looking like a typical Karloff/Pierce job, but gradually morphs into something altogether more baroque and spectacular. The story is called *Batman: Castle of the Bat*, with beautiful painterly panels by artist Bo Hampton, and it's definitely worth your time.” is, it’s basically the DC comics version of “What If?” In this case, what if Bruce Wayne was a Victorian era medical student with a hunchback assistant named Alfredo, who uses forbidden science involving the “biological energy” of a bat, to try to bring his murdered father Thomas back to life.  The resultant Monster starts out looking like a typical Karloff/Pierce job, but gradually morphs into something altogether more baroque and spectacular.
