Description
Written by Doug Moench; Art by Kelley Jones and John Beatty The second part in the vampiric trilogy, this book begins where BATMAN: RED RAIN ended. Batman has destroyed Dracula but at the price of his own humanity. Now the famed protector of Gotham is a vampire himself and must battle his own bloodlust as he attempts to be the savior of the innocent. But as his isolation and affliction drive the Dark Knight to the brink of insanity, the Joker takes over the remnants of Dracula's undead show more legions and begins to ravage the city. Struggling with his newly acquired dark nature and desire to kill, Batman must choose between the preservation of his own soul and the survival of Gotham. show lessTags

The sequel to Red Rain is a bit more uneven than its predecessor. I think they relied a bit to heavily on the gross-out (one might even say on the visuals themselves... a strange thing to say about a comic book, I know) in Bloodstorm, but the atmosphere, if anything, has grown more oppressive than in Red Rain. I'm not so sure how I feel about turning the Joker into the King of the Vampires, but I do know that I would've preferred the trilogy to stop with two stories, and not continue onto a third.
After the point which Batman and his [woman friend, spoilers] attack together, everything falls apart. It’s a jumbled mess of— I assume?— flashbacks, present events, and who knows what else. I genuinely could not understand it after that point. I feel like I really missed out.
Two stars because the art of the Joker looks great! Batman’s gibbon-arms are always weird, though.

Batman as a vampire. My two favorite things put together. It's also much better than it sounds.
