The Batman vs. Dracula Page #4

---

all we know is that the shadow of the bat

now strikes fear not only in criminals,

but in the hearts of all Gothamites.

Mighty gracious of the Batman

to take all the blame for you.

Sucker!

You like? It's a plasma screen.

You know, as in blood?

Oh, the girl.

You have been in the grave a long time, Master.

Nice jugulars.

Even her name possesses a mysterious allure.

Vale.

I think it's time to seek my bride.

One of the first to vanish was a night watchman.

At Gotham Cemetary.

That seems as good a place as any

to catch a vampire.

And do know that the windows and doors

of Wayne Mansion are not

the only objects I enhanced with garlic.

It's him. The Batman.

Please, hurry. I don't want to be a lost one.

Attention all SWAT units.

We have a Batman sighting in the

vincinity of Gotham Cemetary.

Graveyards may not wash.

Not if vampires have an aversion to crosses.

So the folk tales are true.

There is another bat in Gotham.

Count Dracula, I presume.

A legend, you are apparently intimate with.

Don't flatter yourself.

We cast kindred shadows,

have you not seen the news?

I don't harm people.

You have no concept of the harm

of which I am capable,

if only because I really hate

to waste a life when it can be

spent in servitude to me.

Life, or living death?

To become vampire,

is to heighten all of one's senses.

To attain speed, strength, and immortality.

Dripping with garlic.

I shall most certainly steer clear of those.

Try as you may, you cannot outbat me.

Join me, Batman.

Join my legion of the undead.

Not interested.

Then I thank you for keeping my legacy alive

in my absence.

But now there is only room

for one Batman in Gotham.

You spurned my offer of eternal life.

The next time, we do not part

until maggots feed upon your flesh.

Al-fred...

Oh dear.

You!

Only a dream, Master Bruce.

Wish I could say the same about last night.

Dracula's stronger than the Batman in every way.

Physically, mentally.

I'm even being swallowed up by his legend.

Sir?

The more the Batman tries to protect Gotham,

the more Gotham fears him.

As if he were the son of Dracula.

Mustn't wake Master too early,

doesn't like the sun in his eyes.

Mustn't be late, he'll be hungry and cranky.

Hmm. Almost dark.

Huh, what?

You!

Everyone's so shocked to see me these days.

You, the fisherman who found me tangled in his net.

By the way, who knew electroshock therapy

could be so invigorating?

But that's all water under the bridge,

cause Joker's back from the grave.

Yeah, a lot of that going around.

Speaking of graves, Penggy,

might you be hiding buried treasure?

No! There's nothing in there!

Thought we were partners!
