With the fate of Gotham resting on his shoulders, Batman must summon all of his detective skills and fighting prowess to win this war of good versus evil.

It’s good seeing Batman getting back to basics!

It’s an Elseworlds tale – one of DC’s many “What if?” stories that reimagines familiar superheroes and supervillains in different times, places and scenarios.

Likewise, for as timely as Jack’s actions may be in regards to current society, it’s also a one-dimensional to have his only reason being that, well, he hates women
“While that makes sense since Batman is meant to be the world’s smartest detective, at times it seems heavy-handed.”

While Jack the Ripper is an overused cliché, it’s also a fitting match-up and allows for an intriguing mystery as his identity is kept secret until the end
