What happens

Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham is a 2023 American animated superhero film based on the DC Comics character Batman, produced by Warner Bros. Animation and distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. It is the 52nd installment in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line. Inspired by the three-issue comic book miniseries of the same name published from November 2000 to January 2001 under DC Comics' Elseworlds imprint, the film follows an alternate Batman in the 1920s, who is fighting against supernatural forces that are taking Gotham by storm after he accidentally reawakens an entity known as the Lurker on the Threshold. Although the story uses elements of August Derleth's novel, the title itself is a nod to a story from H. P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle: The Doom That Came to Sarnath. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
