Like the recent animation, this graphic novel pits an alternative universe Victorian era Batman against Jack the Ripper. It's a lot more satisfying than the movie as it doesn't Scooby Doo the ending or go quite so heavy on the steam punk.Instead the back story feels well rounded and Bruce Wayne is front and centre throughout. As reading it will become clear, the stakes are both higher, but the interventions more mundane. Overall, it feels like it's eschewed showiness for a bit more character development.
Verdict: Quick enjoyable read.
