The Batman vs. Dracula Page #3

---

Sir! Is everything alright?

Alfred?

I don't remember how I got out here.

Alucard.

Sir?

Master Bruce?

You freaked me out.

Looking for some munchies?

You there. Circulate!

Empty-handed?

This time I am out for blood.

Stipes! Mister Stipes.

Now what is wrong with this picture?

Correct. No cheese platter.

Which means you are headed the wrong way.

And look at yourself.

Was I not clear the first... Oh dear.

Oh, leaving before desert?

I have had my fill.

Though not of you.

When might I see you again?

Tomorrow morning.

On Gotham TV News.

Phew. Dodged that bullet.

Sorry Vicki, I'll be right back.

Master Bruce!

The mirror, he had no reflection!

Sir, did you hear me?

Pardon me. Thanks.

Whatever are you writing?

His name.

Alucard.

So it would seem

Gotham is not merely being visited by vampires-

But the king of all vampires.

Count Dracula.

On the bright side,

no corpses drained of blood have turned up.

Which means Dracula hasn't slained anyone.

Yet.

And the dark side?

If each of the lost ones in turn feeds on others-

Their numbers will grow exponentially.

Into an army of vampires.

Stopping Dracula won't be enough.

I need to rescue his victims.

All of them.

Before Gotham has a plague in its hands.

Rescue vampires, Sir?

Vampirism may be rooted in the supernatural,

but it infects blood.

And if it's transmitted like a disease,

there's a chance it can be treated.

We have the advantage

of the largest old-school medical library in Gotham.

Right here, under our roof.

Yes. And it's always an honor

to hunt for knowledge.

Especially when it is courtesy

of Doctor Thomas Wayne.

What is it about you that keeps me coming back?

Your boyish charm, hot bod, tons of money?

If only I were shallow.

There's something deeper,

bubbling below your surface.

It's not hard to imagine

why you're out to save the world

with science and all your charities.

The question is,

when will you let someone rescue you?

Vicki Vale.

What?

I'm on my way.

We just received exclusive

breaking news on the lost ones.

Vicki Vale is live on the scene

at downtown Gotham; here's her report.

Fancy that.

Two night owls on the same case.

You are meant for each other.

It seems Gotham PD may have new

information regarding

the mysterious disappearances.

Thanks to an eye witness who has this to say.

I saw what got the guy.

Saw it with my own two eyes.

It was a bat.

I saw a huge shadow of a bat-

As such, Gotham PD has concluded that perpetrator

behind these bizarre abductions is none other than

the Batman.

Well this could put a kink in the relationship.

It's way past your bedtime, Sir.

With more citizens vanishing every night,
