Batman And Dracula




''Batman and Dracula'' is a Graphic Novel by DC Comics in the Elseworld line. Investigating a series of murders of Gotham's homeless, Batman discovers that the murders are being committed by Dracula himself, still 'alive' and well. With the aid of a rogue vampire called Tanya, Batman is transformed into a vampire himself, giving him the strength to vanquish Dracula in single combat, albiet at the cost of his humanity.

The story spawned two sequels, ''Bloodstorm'' and ''Crimson Mist''. In ''Bloodstorm'' the remaining vampires of Dracula's horde are now led by the Joker , having convinced them to follow his orders, but they are eventually destroyed by a team of Batman and Catwoman (as a real Werecat ). Batman subsequently drains the Joker of his blood. Horrified by what he has done, Batman has himself staked, but he is restored in ''Crimson Mist'' when Gotham is in the grip of a crime wave. He drains and decapitates all of his old enemies, such as the Penguin and Two-Face, until he is trapped in the old Batcave and the roof is destroyed, exposing him to the sunlight and ending his nightmarish reign of terror.
