Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Batman: Vampire the graphic novel
A graphic novel that combines the three Elseworld stories Batman & Dracula: Red Rain, Batman: Bloodstorm, and Batman: Crimson Mist.

A good read that deals with interesting questions and situations for the characters. If you're a Batman/vampire fan you'll most likely enjoy this.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - An Entertaining Tale Spun From a Hokey Concept
If you told me that a story about Batman vs. Dracula could be a decent graphic novel, let alone a series of graphic novels spanning a couple of hundred pages, I would have said you were mad. The strangest thing about this collection, however, is how seriously Doug Moench takes the concept.

Rather than a superficial battle of a superhero and a vampire horde, Moench spins an entire alternate Gotham City out of the concept. Many of the villains are different, including a werewolf-like Catwoman. ("Dark Knight" fans will recognize the alternate Two-Face design here as one similar to Chris Nolan's design from the film.)

The artwork begins in a vein similar to Bernie Wrightson, but Kelley Jones's characters get wilder and wilder in the second and third parts. The anatomy for some of his characters looks odder than a Rob Liefeld pin-up...which isn't pretty, to say the least. It's distinctive, though, but still the only thing holding this book back from being a five-star classic.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Gothic Gotham!
Kelley Jones is a revolutionary albeit controversial Batman artist. While his work may not have been the most appropriate for mainstream batman titles, he was picture perfect for Elseworld's, where literally anything goes. This book collects the Batman/Dracula trilogy. The art is brilliant, and pure Jones. The man does horror like no other, and each page grows darker than the next. You are dragged into a whole other world. Jones' Batman is terrifying. The pairing of Jones and Moench has brought us some fun tales, but this is the apex. Two creators at the top of their game delivering a mesmerizing tale for the ages. Must read!



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Excellent premise, but the art didn't do it for me
I've always thought that Batman-as-vampire was a cool idea, but although this version has its great moments (and reminds us that Vampires. Are. EVIL! Yes, even the "good" ones!) in the end, I didn't like it as much as I wanted to.

Most of that can be laid at the door of the art; this particular artist's versions of things were just a little too OTT for me. I did like his take on the Joker, though.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Batman Vampire great book crappy shipping
This is a really decent batman book especially for the price. I would have given it five stars but when i opened the shipped box, the book was dented on the corners and looked water damaged. Other than that, its a good read.
