Batman, 1920's Gotham. "He took upon himself the burden of our crimes, began training, preparing himself to battle the thing that is coming...He tested himself against the most dangerous animals on Earth and mastered them all...but he never had a chance against The Thing." In ELSEWORLDS, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places - some that have existed, and others that can't, couldn't or shouldn't exist. The result is stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow.
