How do you follow up the well-received, and well-done, Gotham by Gaslight where Batman meets Jack the Ripper? With Red Rain where he faces yet another of history's killers: Dracula. Set in a Gotham I've never seen before--there are mentions made of Oprah and Elvis, yet all the buildings look like old English castles and the Batmobile looks like a roadster out of a 60s movie--Red Rain is the story of an unseen evil in Gotham City. The homeless are turning up dead, their throats slashed. So far 4
Batman vs. Dracula should be a fun and exciting Elseworlds. It's a natural pairing. But the way it's written is so flat and uninspiring. It's a by the numbers story. Dracula isn't any more impressive than any other nameless vampires that appear in the book. Kelly Jones draws everyone as such weird caricatures. Everyone looks as if they are standing in front of a fun house mirror. Meh. I wasn't impressed with these Doug Moench and Kelley Jones pairings in the 90's. Nothing about that was changed
I take back everything I said in my first review of this book. Batman & Dracula is awesome. Very few people know that one of the influences on Bob Kane and Bill Finger when creating Batman was Dracula. So why not have them have a fight. (view spoiler)[And Batman as a vampire (hide spoiler)]....brilliant idea. I changed my mind about Kelly Jones' art. It's very dark and gothic which is perfect for Batman. The only thing I still don't like was the way Jones drew Dracula. He just looked like a norm...
This sucked donkey dick. The story was standard vampire drivel, and many of the story elements were very predictable. The only slightly creative parts were batarangs made of silver and a scene when Batman drew an image of a cross on a wall using his own blood so that it both compelled and repulsed Dracula, causing him to be immobile (why the story didn't end right there, I don't know). Other than that one scene, however, this is a stupid version of Batman - he intentionally starts multiple fist
BATMAN & DRACULA: RED RAIN (5/5)“In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places. Some that have existed, or might have existed, and others that can’t, couldn’t or shouldn’t exist .The result is characters that are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow.”Hell of an intro, right? It’s included in such tales along with the special imprint. When you see that weird star thing on the cover, you know the book is free from its main character’s...
The art in this book is quite strong, using both gothic and post-apocalyptic imagery add atmosphere to the book. This gives the book a heaviness as well as a pulpy feel that works with the subject matter. That said, the pacing is too quick, and Dracula, in particular, feels undeveloped. Furthermore many elements of the plot are essentially a series of dues ex machinas that undermine the normal resourcefulness of Bruce Wayne character. As an Elseworld series, I know that Doug Meonch did interesti...
i liked the art but the story kinda dragged 😵💫
Usually, this type of crossovers come up extremely cheesy and lame. This one, fortunately, does not. Sure, it has it's cliché moments as expected (and the all-time-classic lame woman costumes that cover nothing, but...90s) but the story makes up for a fun read and the art is beautiful with some exceptional one-pagers. The Jones brothers really captured the essence of the image you have in your head when you think batman being a vamp. Check it out, it's better than some "top-25" bats stories out
