About the Comic: Gotham City is overrun by villains, monsters of human kind. Free to kill and terrorize, they do so openly, feeling no need to hide. Brutality of it all has pushed two old Batman’s friends to take up drastic measures. For when men can no longer be helped by heroes, what better way to fight monsters than with another monster?…

My Opinion: Batman fights his own human nature, and that of bloodlust, derived from Dracula’s curse, all whilst aware he’s only bidding his and his friends time. Story is written much better than previous two, without the leaps in logic, or strange takes on story aspects, myths, legends. Still, I wish I could tell you it was a page turner, but it wasn’t. If anything, I counted pages to the end of it. But this is one of those works where there’s a slew of other reasons to read it, no matter the story.

Wow this was so metal and I didn't expect the level of rogues gallery that happened in this book either. Also what a bleak ending! Overall really enjoyed it and the art style!

And yes, this has been really interesting. I also would like to highlight that the artwork was great.

Unrelenting conclusion to an epic story, as Batman is revived by his loyal butler Alfred in a desperate attempt to eradicate the scourges of Gotham City. Violent, brutal and out of control, Batman's bloodlust has fully corrupted his sense of justice, and the crimefighter hero the city has admired and feared is now a monstrous creature, feeding on Gotham's scum and insane and tenuously on the verge of devouring the rest of humanity.
A frightening image of what Batman could have been.

It was quite a spinoff...to have the Batman take on the legendary vampire was an exhilarating read

Finally completed the Batman/Dracula trilogy. Excellent ending. Stays true to the core of Batman and never deviates from what he is and what he stands for.
