Joker is quickly intercepted by the Batman and is electrocuted when he falls into a river by his super-charged joy buzzers. The Joker and the Penguin break out of Arkham, racing to find a stash of stolen money hidden in crypt at Gotham Cemetery. It premiered on television and was later released on home video. Dracula is a animated movie based on The Batman television series. Gotham City is terrorized not only by recent escapees Joker and Penguin, but by the original creature of the night, Dracula! Can Batman stop the ruthless vampire before he turns everyone in the city, including The Caped Crusader, Joker and Penguin, into his mindless minions? We don't have any reviews for The Batman vs. Blood from his hand drips on the corpse's heart, which brings it to life it is none other than the vampire king Dracula, his body having been moved from Transylvania to Gotham City after his "death". While searching through a crypt, Penguin accidentally cuts his hand while using his umbrella-sword to open a coffin he hopes contains the money, finding a body instead.
Best I can tell, it takes place after the Joker, Penguin, and Ventriloquist intros, and probably some time before the Season 2 finale. And maybe, just maybe, a flick that can boil it down for twelve-year-olds and still have something to be proud of.
Others call it a misguided, misshapen mess, crammed with cheap stakes, cheaper gore, and prose purple enough to make Anne Rice wince - all trying and utterly failing to hide all the goofiness in-between. In any case, DC only trots out the Count on very rare occasions, and pretty much never with fanfare. When Mr.Īll images used below are property of their respective companies unless stated otherwise. Dracula Video The Dark Knight must contend with a mysterious female vigilante who emulates him, but to a more ruthless degree. This baby’s being donated to the charity bookshop! You want to read a good Batman comic? Stay away from the ones with Doug Moench’s name on the cover! I actually have the rest of the Vampire trilogy but after Red Rain, I don’t think I’ll put myself through the torture that will inevitably be the rest of the series. The poor guy looks like he’s got two golf balls stuffed in his cheeks at all times (mouth cheeks that is)! Was he going for comedy? – while his Bruce looks weirdly proportioned like were seeing his reflection in a warped mirror. His Batmobile is pitiful – it looks like a carnival bumper car. I’m not much of a Kelley Jones fan either. It’s less than 100 pages long but it’s such a depressingly bad comic it took me several attempts to get through it. You know Batman will beat Dracula and he does. Dracula is like the traditional Count except he’s slightly younger.
It’s soul-crushingly shit aka the Doug Moench Special! The story and characters are so flat and unexciting. Red Rain should be more fun than it is but it isn’t. Jaysis the commissioning editors were lazy back then! Batman fights Dracula? Yeah why not, let’s green light everything Batman-related! Batman takes a dump? Can we make it a two-parter? He has to break out the Bat-plunger! Dracula comes to Gotham, turns some people into vampires, Batman fights the vampires and Dracula. It’s an Elseworlds book (meaning it happened somewhere in the Multiverse outside of DC canon). Red Rain is the first of the Batman: Vampire trilogy Moench did with Kelley Jones. Was there really no-one else capable enough - was he the best of a bad bunch? I’m stunned once again by how much Batman work Doug Moench got in the ‘90s considering what a shockingly bad writer he is. Batman & Dracula: Red Rain by Doug Moench
