An trilogy published under the Elseworlds imprint that involves Batman becoming a vampire. There are three parts to it:Batman and Dracula: Red RainA bunch of deaths are occurring in Gotham where the victims are found drained of blood with their throats slashed. As it turns out, the slashes are to hide the puncture wounds from vampires. Between his time investigating, Batman has dreams of a woman appearing to him as mist and then materializing. As it turns out, she is a vampire named Tanya (later changed to half vampire) that has spent a good while turning other vamps away from real blood and towards fighting Dracula. She visits Batman in the night and secretly bites him, infecting him with the vampire virus without actually drinking from him, to give him the strength to defeat Dracula, and she later sacrifices herself to destroy Dracula's horde by drawing them into the batcave as Wayne Manor is destroyed to rain sunlight into the cave. Batman faces Dracula and defeats him, but at the cost of the last of his humanity as Dracula bites and drains him in the process.BloodstormBatman, with his new powers, continues to fight for Gotham. However, he begins to feel bloodlust and struggles with refraining from drinking anyone's blood. Cue The Joker who steps in to boss Dracula's remaining mooks around. He begins a spree of killing Gotham's wealthier criminals and taking their belongings. Selina Kyle makes an appearance as a normal person, but is bitten and becomes a werecat. She meets Batman and provides her company, which curbs his bloodlust. In a later fight with the Joker, she is killed, infuriating Batman. He succumbs to his bloodlust and sucks the Joker dry. Horrified by what he has done, Batman orders Gordon and Alfred to stake him.Crimson MistWithout its Dark Knight, Gotham has fallen prey to its villains. Fearing what may become and convincing himself that his master cannot be evil, Alfred removes the stake from Batman, which, since he wasn't beheaded, allows for him to be revived. Now a vicious monster, however, Batman takes to the skies, killing all of his rogues. He then enters Arkham and kills every inmate. Gordon and Alfred decide to team up with Two-Face and Killer Croc to stop Batman.All three books were written by Doug Moench with art by Kelley Jones (pencils), Malcolm Jones III (inks for Red Rain) and John Beatty (inks for remaining books).Also apparently set in the Red Rain Verse, but not necessarily canon to the original trilogy, are "Red Rain: Blood Lust" in DC Infinite Halloween Special, in which Batman kills the Graysons, and Countdown Presents: The Search for Ray Palmer: Red Rain, in which the Challengers of Beyond meet Dick Grayson, Vampire Hunter, only for Batman to turn him into a vampiric Robin.Elements of these story appeared in The Batman vs. Dracula and a version of this world is set in the Infinite Crisis game.Please only list Tropes that are unique to this particular Batman story. Tropes that already apply to Batman, such as The Cowl, don't go here. | |

And Then John Was a Zombie: Batman opposed the vampires who killed humans, but by the end of the third book, he has become just as monstrous as them, only just hanging on to his sanity long enough to let his old allies destroy him after killing his old enemies. | |

Became Their Own Antithesis | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_11a74598 | comment |
Became Their Own Antithesis: In Crimson Mist, Batman has gone from being a noble hero and a major practitioner of Thou Shalt Not Kill to a monster who eagerly kills his Rogues Gallery for their blood. Gordon even acknowledges it, citing it to Alfred as proof that the Batman they knew is gone. Even Batman is aware of this, stating that he's now a bigger evil than Dracula himself. | |

Resist the Beast | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_1231e49d | comment |
Resist the Beast: Bloodstorm sees Batman trying to do this as Tanya's blood substitute becomes increasingly ineffective, forcing Alfred to leave him so that he isn't tempted. The Dark Knight is able to turn to his new ally, Cat-Woman Selina Kyle, for help controlling his urges, until her death drives him to despair as he drinks the Joker's blood in a moment of blind rage. | |

Vegetarian Vampire | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_143c304b | comment |
Vegetarian Vampire: Tanya and her pack survive on a specially made artificial blood substitute. Batman initially survives on it as well, but his bloodlust soon overtakes it and he finds that the substitute no longer satisfies him. He speculates, but never determines, that this may be because he's a more 'natural' predator than Tanya, or the fact that he was bitten by Dracula exposed him to a more virulent strain of the vampire 'virus'. Curiously, Tanya and the others had originally fed on blood and then were exposed to the artificial plasma, which turned out to be something Tanya herself developed after breaking ties with Dracula. This might have even been the only way the serum could work on a Vampire, as she is shown as being completely without any sign of bloodlust by the time she meets Batman. However, Batman never drank blood until the Joker, and never tried the serum afterwards, so there's no way to know if exposure to the serum post-Joker would have helped him. It's also worth noting that Tanya subsisted on animal blood while conducting her experiments with the serum, so she didn't quite fit the 'vegetarian' side of the trope altogether. | |

Darker and Edgier: Invoked and Lampshaded with the Riddler, who has gone from extortion and robbery to drug trafficking and murder, combining the two by using a murder victim's body to store heroin. Within the work itself, both Bloodstorm and Crimson Mist are much darker than Red Rain, both ending on near-complete downers compared to the Bittersweet Ending of Red Rain. | |

Senseless Sacrifice | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_1dacdb4f | comment |
Senseless Sacrifice: During the final clash in Crimson Mist, Alfred lets Batman drain him so he can be strong enough to save James Gordon from Two-Face and Killer Croc, but Gordon winds up getting killed almost immediately after anyway by falling rubble from the destroyed batcave. Arguably also appears in Bloodstorm; with the revelation in Crimson Mist that staking just immobilises the vampire unless they're decapitated, there was no need for Selina to sacrifice herself to save Batman from the Joker's crossbow arrow, as she could have just let the bolt hit him, taken out the Joker, and then pulled the bolt out of Batman's chest. | |

Couldn't Find a Pen: In Red Rain, after being slashed across the chest by Dracula, Batman uses it to his advantage to draw the image of a cross on the wall in his own blood. Dracula is left at a stalemate, both drawn to the blood and unable to approach the cross, and is ultimately forced to flee when the sun rises. In Crimson Mist, after slaughtering every homicidal inmate in Arkham Asylum, Batman leaves a note to Dr. Arkham in blood. The note reads, "Go home. Your work is done.". | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: After Batman becomes a vampire, it's virtually pointless for any human to try and stop him in a straight fight; in Crimson Mist, Penguin, Riddler, Scarecrow, Ivy and Black Mask are brutally killed without doing any damage to Batman. | |

| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_3e01fd7 | comment |
Arrow Catch: Batman easily catches crossbow bolts fired at him by the Joker in Bloodstorm (after Catwoman dies Taking the Bullet for him) and Two-Face in Crimson Mist. | |

The Renfield | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_3fb4b1cb | comment |
The Renfield: Nicely inverted in Bloodstorm, where The Joker has the vampires working for him without turning him into one of them. Could arguably apply to Alfred in Bloodstorm in particular, but he serves Batman through loyalty to the man Batman was rather than any desire to become a vampire like his master. | |

Serial-Killer Killer: How Batman operates in Crimson Mist; he focuses his bloodlust on the more monstrous members of his Rogues Gallery. At one point, when contemplating his dwindling supply of crooks to kill, he muses that most of the prisoners of Blackgate are in for theft or less and don't deserve to be killed. | |

Body Horror: As a direct result of his body's decay in Crimson Mist, Batman is little more than a walking skeleton with piercing red eyes. Not even drinking the blood of Penguin's entire gang will restore him to a more human like appearance. Creach, Joker's Dragon in Bloodstorm, spent a long time crawling out of his grave; as a result, the flesh on his abdomen has decayed, exposing his stomach and intestines. | |

Alfred suggests seeking federal aid, but Gordon rejects that, observing that any outside agencies would likely think he was crazy and send him to Arkham, and even if he could convince them it would take too long and they'd ultimately just run around Gotham before getting killed anyway. | |

The Power of Love: The touch of a woman's love serves as replacement for drinking blood to a vampire that hasn't fed yet. This is used by Selina to keep Bruce sane, with Bruce finding his urges lessened as he spends his days in her bed and his nights fighting alongside her... until the Joker kills her. Alfred sacrificing himself to restore Bruce's strength gives Batman enough control to allow Gordan to detonate the explosives in the Batcave so that he willingly walks into the sun, ending the threat he poses to Gotham and the world for good. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: A key reason Dracula's killing spree goes largely unnoticed for so long in Red Rain is because the mayor largely covers it up out of fear of causing panic and giving himself, Gotham's first black mayor, a bad impression to the public. When the crisis is resolved, the mayor resigns from office and turns himself in on charges of criminal neglect in repentance. Batman's rampage in Crimson Mist was all caused because Alfred has the bright idea to take the stake out of his corpse to deal with Gotham's massive crime wave. Though, under the circumstances- said massive crime wave in the absence of Batman or anyone else capable of curbing the tide of crime and sin- this could just as easily fall under Godzilla Threshold. | |

Never Hurt an Innocent: Batman makes it a point in Crimson Mist not to kill innocents and it is made clear that every villain he targets for their blood has killed on a regular basis; he even reflects that most of the prisoners of Blackgate are in for theft or less and don't deserve to be drained by him. However, even Batman himself knows that it's only a matter of time before he runs out of criminals to feed on and turns to civilians out of a lack of options. | |

Alternate Universe: Before Crisis on Infinite Earths, this world was listed as Earth-1191. Following Infinite Crisis it's been designated as Earth-43. According to The Multiversity, Earth-43 is home to an entire Vampire Justice League, which implies Bruce had managed to turn Superman, Wonder Woman, and many other heroes. | |

Immunity Attrition | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_8c87607b | comment |
Immunity Attrition: Batman is revealed to be immune to crosses and holy water, since he's abstained from drinking human blood, which works to his advantage when Joker lures him into a church filled with crosses as part of a Death Trap. However, Batman soon succumbs to his bloodlust and sucks Joker dry, losing his immunity. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: In Crimson Mist, Batman's Rogues Gallery qualifies. All of them are purposely depicted as darker, more homicidal, and less humane compared to their regular versions and are even purposely drawn with creepy, warped features to reflect this. When Batman comes to kill them, it's depicted for all the horror it's worth, with all of them save Killer Croc reduced to pathetically begging for their lives, but it doesn't take away that most of them had it coming. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: The vampires are of the old-school style, being that Dracula is involved; as a result, as well as the standard superhuman strength and speed and vulnerability to sunlight, silver and holy relics, they can also turn into bats, mist and wolves, although only Dracula, Batman and Creach are specifically shown transforming (another vampire is implied to have transformed while escaping Batman in his first encounter with one of the undead in Red Rain, apparently turning into mist to escape into a storm-drain, but is never explicitly shown doing so). | |

Protagonist Journey to Villain | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_a0a005d1 | comment |
Protagonist Journey to Villain: The trilogy basically charts Batman's fall from grace; In Red Rain, Batman is obviously a hero as most of his direct kills are feral vampires who would tear him and Alfred apart, and gives the last of his human life to kill Dracula himself. In Bloodstorm, Batman is basically an anti-hero, as he outright kills almost all of his opponents. However, every foe he kills is a vampire (he is shown sparing a group of human muggers in the opening scene), and while these vampires are more capable of planning and engaging in moral debates with him than his previous victims, they all make it clear that they will kill to feed and Batman knows there is no other way to stop them. By the final battle of Crimson Mist, Batman has basically regressed to an 'anti-villain' as he kills virtually all of his human rogue's gallery, only able to restrict himself to killing those who are already killers, but makes it clear that he will start killing innocents if he isn't stopped here and now. | |

Batman after Selina's death and the moment after he first drinks human blood in Bloodstorm. In Crimson Mist, Batman lets out a wordless roar of defiance as he realizes how he may destroy the world in his new state as he succumbs to his thirst. Alfred gives one in Crimson Mist when he watches the impaled Batman falling into a chasm in the former Batcave. | |

Murder Makes You Crazy | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_d67d184b | comment |
Murder Makes You Crazy: Batman reflects at one point in Bloodstorm that should he succumb to his bloodlust even once, he'll become a monster like Dracula. Ultimately downplayed; draining the Joker got the ball rolling, but it was the months he spent in a false death rotting that sent Batman over the edge. | |

You Can't Go Home Again | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_da12bcfb | comment |
You Can't Go Home Again: Near the end of Red Rain, Batman and Alfred sacrifice Wayne Manor and most of the Batcave to ensure the destruction of Dracula's horde and that Batman's Secret Identity remains a secret. Essentially subverted in Crimson Mist, when Batman returns to the remains of the Batcave to make his lair after surrendering to his vampire instincts. | |

Beyond Redemption | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_de62097f | comment |
Beyond Redemption: In Crimson Mist, Batman has fully succumbed to his vampire nature and feeds on his Rogues Gallery before beheading them. He's fully aware of what a monster he's become, but is no longer capable of fighting it and is convinced he's taken in too much evil from his victims to be redeemed, reflecting he may very well destroy the world if he isn't stopped. Commissioner Gordon even insists to Alfred that they have to put him down, making the point that Batman killing anyone is proof that the good man he was no longer exists. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: Crimson Mist states that stakes to the heart only incapacitates the vampire in a death-like state unless the head is also removed, whereas Dracula was completely dusted and Killed Off for Real after Batman ran him through on a splintered utility pole. Though in all fairness, he was also hit by lightning which would have been the possible cause, the point still remains for all staked vampires that weren't beheaded previously. | |

Tragic Monster | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_e35bc0f7 | comment |
Tragic Monster: Batman eventually becomes as such over the course of the second and third parts. He repeatedly struggles with his bloodlust, and briefly finds solace from it in his relationship with Selina Kyle... until Joker kills her. In a fit of grief and rage, Batman finally succumbs to his bloodlust and drains the Joker's blood; immediately horrified by what he has done, Batman arranges for Gordon and Alfred to stake him so he doesn't commit further murders. Sadly, Gordon and Alfred neglected to behead him after the staking, so Batman was paralyzed in a death-like state, fully conscious and aware of his body's decay and his rampant bloodlust. In the midst of a massive crime wave, Alfred becomes desperate enough to remove the stake in an effort to give Gotham a savior once more, but Batman has gone completely insane from the experience, and while he's lucid enough to be tormented by grief and guilt over the monster he has become, he's now nothing more than a slave to his vampire nature. | |

Staking the Loved One | |
| Batman Vampire (Comic Book) / int_ea1fe5d3 | comment |
Staking the Loved One: After he succumbs to his thirst and drinks the Joker's blood, Batman orders Gordon and Alfred to stake him so that he cannot become a monster like Dracula. While they go through with this request, Alfred ultimately removes the stake so that Batman can stop Gotham's new crime wave, but the corrupted Batman vows that he will not allow his old allies to pierce his heart again. Forced to accept that their old friend is basically dead, Gordon and Alfred ally with Two-Face and Killer Croc to lure Batman into a trap, destroying the roof of the former Batcave so that Batman will be destroyed by the sun when a stake proves an impractical alternative. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever?: In Crimson Mist, Batman ponders over this trope during one of his private monologues, reflecting upon the certainty that he will eventually run out of criminals to kill, and, like Dracula before him, will create his own vampire brood to escape the loneliness of eternity: | |

Undying Loyalty: Even after everything the corrupted Batman has done over the course of Crimson Mist, Alfred refuses to abandon or give up on him. When Alfred and Gordon are forced to work reluctantly with Two-Face to stop Batman only to be double-crossed, Alfred offers his own blood to give Batman the necessary strength to finish his enemies. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: The Joker whines that Batman should have already gone on a killing spree ever since he became a vampire, failing to take his moral fibre into account. As Batman becomes increasingly corrupted, he reflects that while once saw Tanya and Selina's Heroic Sacrifices as noble, he now sees them as foolish. | |
