Joe, your main argument here is that they wouldn't do it because it would be impossible for audiences to differentiate Jekyll/Hyde, whose name would (hypothetically) be in the title of the video AND in the intro, so that right off the bat tells people "Oh, this isn't Jack the Ripper" and also is in a completely separate video from Jack's video.

It's not like people go see a movie where the protagonist is a white guy in a suit and say "... isn't that James Bond? I don't understand this movie, James Bond looks like that guy but this isn't James Bond... they should've made this character wear something other than a suit and tie." As far as I'm aware, nobody commented on Edison vs Tesla saying "I thought Frank Sinatra was already in a battle?" because their suits looked so similar that everyone must have been confused and been unable to tell them apart, right?

Also, considering it's highly unlikely that Dan Bull would be playing Jekyll/Hyde, it would be very easy to tell them apart, since, y'know, faces.

Also also, Jack the Ripper and Jekyll/Hyde are both well-known enough that a cape and hat wouldn't confuse people as to which one was which, especially since the most popular depictions of each wear a similar cape/hat
