The Batman vs. Dracula Page #2

---

But I know what I saw.

Fangs.

Poppycock.

Easily purchased at any halloween superstore.

It wasn't just the teeth.

The way they moved, their eyes.

They weren't human.

Yes. Well, might I remind you

before one urban legend

becomes too obsessed with another,

you are hosting the Wayne Industries

energy expo here, tonight.

With the ravishing Vicki Vale on your arm.

Time for my master to rise and shine.

Wakey-wake, it's nighty-night!

You have places to be, people to bite.

Those bloodshakes really work wonders

for your complexion.

Rise, my children of the night.

We shall take Gotham, human by human.

Until our blood flows through its canals,

transfiguring it into the city of the undead.

As you execute my dark purpose,

I shall stake my claim among Gotham's elite.

Well if you're looking to be numero uno

of the rich and famous,

there's one bird you'll have to knock off its perch.

You there,

more napkins at the buffet.

You, attend to the spill in the study.

And you, Stipes,

I realise this assignment may not be

as big a priority to you as catching your next wave,

but would you mind tucking in your shirt?

Dude, come on, chill.

Caviar chills.

Alfred Pennyworth, serving captain,

does nothing of the sort.

Truly magnificent.

Oh, my necklace?

It's a family heirloom.

And you are?

Alucard. Doctor Alucard.

Bruce Wayne.

I don't believe we've met.

I am new to Gotham,

a recent transport from Eastern Europe.

Really? What line of work are you in?

Cultural anthropology.

I am here to study your city's Batman.

Our city's?

You mean to tell me Budapest has a Dark Knight too?

Rare instances have been documented

of a man who assumes the likeness of a bat,

in societies ancient as well as modern.

And I believe,

that while instilling fear by night,

these beings cloak themselves as

normal members of society.

Fascinating theory.

Bats are fascinating creatures.

As are you, Doctor.

If you'll excuse us, we've got to circulate.

Hmm, seems you've picked up

that he's my type, huh?

Tall, dark, and weird?

We spoke of my work, what of yours?

Research and development.

For instance, the Wayne Industries' SL5.

It's the most efficient technology to date

for collecting solar energy,

and storing it as true sunlight.

It's about time science did something

positive with the sun.

Hors d'uvre?

Beef steak tartare, exquisite.

I prefer my meat cooked.

Some garlic shrimp?

But you must, it really packs a punch.

Please excuse me,

I must find something with which to wash this down.

Bruce? Are you alright?

I'll be right back.

There's something I need to attend to.

Master Bruce.

I know the night is terribly alluring to you,

but Miss Vale is waiting for you.
