Graphic novel fans won't be able to resist as Dracula comes to make Gotham City his dark dominion, first preying on the homeless and then amassing an army to take on the good citizens of Gotham. Batman must forge an alliance with the undead to defeat this unholy foe in a duel that stretches beyond the boundaries of death.

Batman & Dracula

A very strange, interesting, not-totally-successful Batman story. The art is very strange and gothic, but very hit or miss. Batman himself looks too skinny, and his cape is much too big and ripped to pieces. Dracula and the vampires look pretty phenomenal, but Alfred looks like Richard Nixon! The color palette is well-utilized, and the story is pretty good. This could have been just a jokey gimmick, but there is a little more depth to the story than you would expect. I get the feeling this is a love-it-or-hate-it title, and I happen to like it just fine and am looking forward to reading the sequel.

Batman & Dracula: Red Rain is a Hammer inspired story about Dracula infiltrating's Gotham City's underground, feeding on the destitute, and Batman attempting to solve the mysterious murders that are taking place that are linked to Dracula. But, the clues lead to a confrontation for the ages which results in Batman truly becoming a creature of the night. 

This is an operatic Horror comic that seamlessly blends two of my favorite things: The Dark Knight and vampires. It's a bit corny but that's part of the appeal.

It's an Elseworld classic for a reason.
