First story with Mignola art is excellent. The second is so much filler.

An alright book. Don’t really have any strong feelings, good or bad. Thinking I was expecting more, I don’t know. As a mystery it’s wanting. But it’s a fun thought experiment.

It's surprisingly how well the Batman mythos fits into a Victorian time period, and adding Jack the Ripper was a stroke of genius.

Really wonderful and flavorful art. The tone of this comic is pitch-perfect, although there isn't any huge amount of depth or suspense to it.

I think it was an interesting take on the Dark Knight but didn't add anything worthwhile. I much prefer the animated movie over the graphic novel. The Jack the Ripper mystery is much more interesting and is the main focus of the movie.

A personal and romantic Batman story with suitably-atmospheric art from Mignola. The less said of the the tacked-on sequel included in the paperback, the saccharine and shallow 'Batman: Master of the Future', the better.

It was everything that I wanted it to be, except I wanted more.

I grew up hearing much about this book. I’m a big fan of Mignola’s art too. The story was an interesting take on a 19th century Batman. Nicely self contained and surprisingly upbeat considering it begins with Bruce and Jack the Ripper arriving in Gotham at the same time.
It would have been interesting to see more popular characters redesigned but Mignola is reserved here. Focusing more on Batman and on Bruce Wayne. The character art and gothic tone is definitely on display in a good way. Just feels like there was potential to do more here had the run continued beyond two issues. Worth reading though for fans of the Bat.

Suuuper intriguing premise, I mean, I love Batman, I love Victorian era stuff, so ya can’t go wrong! It was fine, the first issue about Jack the Ripper was better than the second about the fair. Now to watch the movie!
