Someone was going to do it sometime, Batman versus Dracula. Luckily, it was someone that did it reasonably well. Batman had fought vampires before, even one that was sneaky and kept his heart in a clock to prevent the usual stakes or crossbow bolt tricks working, but this one is a whole different story and feel to that sort of 70s thing.

Red Rain is the first part of a three-part series I first read as a small boy; the influence it had on me can still be felt to this day. I'm still scared of dark alleys, necks freak me out, and this portrayal of Batman has got to rank up there with the best. Who can possibly beat Batman at his own game, except for Dracula? It's paced brilliantly; the artwork is perfect. You haven't seen Batman until you've seen him fighting vampires. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446394653, Paperback)

Batman and the world's most famous vampire--seems like a perfect combination. Except for the fact that Dracula wants to turn Gotham City into his personal kingdom of the undead. Batman is left with no choice but to side with a renegade band of vampires and face Dracula face to face. Kelley Jones brings his creepy, exaggerated Wrightsonesque artwork to this clever story. A big favorite with the fans, the first edition of this graphic novel was out of print within a month.
