DC vs. Vampires (Comic Book) / int_1237828f	type	Anyone Can Die
DC vs. Vampires (Comic Book) / int_1237828f	comment	Anyone Can Die: As befits an Elseworld apocalypse Alternate Universe: The attack on the Legion of Doom killed prominent supervillains like Sinestro, Giganta, Toyman, Solomon Grundy and Black Manta; others, like Gorilla Grodd, Scarecrow, Cheetah, and the Riddler were instead turned into vampires. Lex Luthor dies soon after. The vampire Hal Jordan kills both Andrew Bennett and Zan of the Wonder Twins to keep the Justice League from learning about the vampire threat. In issue 2, the vampire Hal Jordan kills Anton Arcane. He then goes on to murder Barry Allen, as the vampires are convinced that turning someone with his speed and metabolism into a vampire would end up killing every human on Earth. In issue 3, a now-vampiric Zatanna kills the Penguin. In issue 4, Zatanna herself is killed by Doctor Fate. In issue 6, Green Arrow succesfully stakes Hal Jordan. As a consequence, the King of the Vampires reveals himself and kills Batman and Tim Drake. Jason Todd also asks Green Arrow to kill him before Nightwing and Wonder Woman finish turning him into a vampire. In addition, the Joker is confirmed long dead. In Killers #1, the vampires seemingly kill James Gordon (who was trying to smuggle Luthor's blood out of Gotham City), Clayface and Solomon Grundy (again). The vampiric Mr. Terrific and Dr. Mid-nite are staked. Catwoman reveals herself to be a vampire and tries to turn Harley Quinn, but dies as she'd injected herself with Lex's blood. Adam Strange, Peacemaker, Crazy Quilt, Killer Frost and Wild Dog are all killed by an ambush as they're making their way to a human sanctuary, Raven is bitten by Plastic Man and Negative Man is taken away by a vampiric Hawkgirl. Director Bones eventually dies after leading Jayna of the Wonder Twins to said sanctuary. Jayna herself is able to stake the vampire Firestorm.

She also killed Harley, making sure that whatever agent her blood contains that kills vampires cannot be used against her, she rulesnote we get a picture of all the vampires in Gotham kneeling outside of the tower, acknowledging her role, that all of her enemies have been weakened and a Curb-Stomp Battle shall ensuenote the remaining superheroes on Earth are licking their wounds but they are shown getting ready for this fight, not to mention that a huge number of the superhumans Dick has turned are now dead, including Superman and Power Girl, that she will be able to out-think them at every turnnote she is one of the smartest members of the Bat-Family, but she is not invincible on that end. Many other smart people, like John Henry Irons and Damian Wayne, are on the side of the heroes, and we see Alfred and others starting to work on plans right now, that the humans are small in number and will be overwhelmednote there is a much smaller number than they were at the beginning, but thanks to Green Arrow's rebellion, they are now freed, organized and looking for payback, and that now they have no hopenote Supergirl has regained her powers, is the only Kryptonian left on the planet, and is starting to clear the ash clouds on some part of Earth that very second. Other stories in the universe like All-Out War showcase other superhumans alive, including Jenny Quantum - who, as the Spirit of the Century, takes the form of whatever concept molds said century. And she is still human..

After her brief tussle with Damian, Dinah tells Oliver outright that keeping this to themselves is a bad idea because they need help. Played literally for dark comedy in issue 6. When Harley Quinn manages to contact Amanda Waller, she informs her that most of the remaining members of the Suicide Squad have been turned, she neglects to mention that Captain Boomerang is still human, leaving him to be killed as Waller activates the Explosive Leashes on them, sans Deadshot and Harley herself.

DC vs. Vampires (Comic Book) / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: Black Manta is among the supervillains that seemingly died during the attack on the Legion of Doom at the very beginning of the series and Aquaman later mentions he's disappeared yet he, or at least someone using his costume and identity, appears to be alive and well months after the vampires have conquered the world living among the surviving humans on Kandor. The following issues confirm that Black Manta died during the first days of the conquest, and it's in fact Mera under the armor. The ending of All-Out War reveals that the Deathstroke that appears in the final scene conforting Mary was in fact Deadman possessing Slade Wilson, with Constantine knowing it but keeping it secret. Due to Deadman also thinking that keeping it secret was the good choice, Constatine's narration implying they've manipulated the truth before to make it more palatable, Deathstroke's characterization seeming more heroic than normal in moments to some readers and even Deathstroke's own inner monologue having hints of being a Posthumous Narration, it's unclear which moments could have been Deadman possesing Deathstroke, and which moments were Slade. The story ultimately leaves it ambiguous.

DC vs. Vampires (Comic Book) / int_2064626a	comment	Villains Act, Heroes React: Lampshaded as a plot point; Red Hood notes that infiltrating the supervillain community would be a good start for the vampire conspiracy precisely because the superheroes don't generally pay attention to supervillains when they're not committing crimes. Villains tend to lay low between jobs, which makes it unlikely that the heroes would notice them going missing as they're either killed or turned into vampires.

DC vs. Vampires (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
DC vs. Vampires (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: While Andrew Bennett and Mary, the Queen of Blood debuted in House of Mystery, their designs harken back to the New 52 I, Vampire series. A vampire conquest of the world was also the plot of the first arc of that series, though in that case, the idea was Mary's. Andrew even mentioned she'd have to face the superhuman community eventually, if her first attacks were successful. Batman refers to an incident early in his career when he fought a vampire called the Mad Monk as his first bout with the supernatural (which happened way back during The Golden Age of Comic Books, in Detective Comics #32). Green Arrow references Batman's contingency plans against the Justice League members, which has been a notable part of the character in stories like Tower of Babel and The New 52. And like in The New 52 he doesn't have any plan against Wonder Woman. The heroic magic users take residence at the House of Mystery and Doctor Fate mentions John Constatine used to be the owner, as he was in The New 52 until he lost ownership to Zatanna. As in main continuity, it's implied to exist both on Earth and in the Dreaming, in the form of an idea. For bonus points, House of Mystery was the title where I, Vampire debuted and in the New 52, the House was also the place where Cain, the Progenitor of all Vampires, was trapped. Cain had been said to own the House in some Post-Crisis stories as well. All in all, perhaps not the best place to hide from vampires. Many characters (including the non-corrupted members of the Justice League) think Batman is the vampire lord causing the infestation, Green Arrow thought he was always secretly a vampire (due to his night motif, living in a cave...) and Wonder Woman apparently thought he secretly wanted to be one: In Earth-43, Batman became a vampire after fighting Dracula and later actually managed to turn his universe's Justice League. In Justice League: War, Green Lantern thought Batman was a vampire and had superpowers (for basically the same reasons Green Arrow does) before actually meeting him. In Justice League Unlimited Wonder Twin Expy Downpour tries to take down Aquaman by attacking turning into water, which fails miserably. In a rather dark callback, actual Wonder Twin Jayna tries to do the same here with similar results and sheâ€™s seemengly bloodily killed for her efforts. For bonus points, both Aquamans mock the idea of attacking him with water.

While he tells the rest of the Bat-family they're going to kill the vampires outright instead of capturing them and he unsuccessfully tries to stake Diana when he has seemingly no other way to avoid being killed or turned by her (and even then, it's left ambiguous whether he thought it would really work or was just a desperate distraction, given that he's badly hurt and tells Green Arrow to run away), once he later finds a way to non-lethally subdue Wonder Woman and Green Lantern using UV light, he keeps them alive and even tries to tell Green Arrow he shouldn't have staked Hal. Ultimately, Bruce dies without having actually killed anyone.

Even a year into the apocalypse, once Aquaman arrives to capture Supergirl, she tells him he's better than this. Averted with more cynical characters or characters who have taken a level in cynicism, like Green Arrow and Mera. For that, see That Man Is Dead.

As it's daytime where Supergirl is in Australia, Queen Barbara and her main armies should have most of a day to grok the changed situation before they get turned into sizzle cakes, but after that humanity has a fighting chance.

He then has Alfred spike all of their drinks with holy water, then asks everyone to hold a cross before outlining his plan. And even still he doesn't consider all of that to be guarantee enough to trust them with the information about Luthor's blood. Later, Alfred drinks the holy water tea in front of Batman to prove he hasn't been turned; Bruce thanks him, then casually explains that he'd already had Wayne Manor's boiler blessed so that Alfred's evening bath would have destroyed him if he actually were a vampire. Batman's tendency to be this is also works against him. The first time, Green Arrow, who's been testing him and other members of the Bat-family, considers Bruce capable enough to circumvent any test he can come up with. The second time, it's used as an argument by the vampires to blame him for Barry's death. When Bruce pleads innocence and accuses Hal of doing it, saying he can prove it with files he's got on his computer, Hal counters Batman's perfectly capable of faking evidence.

The fact that she was already a vampire but was hiding it so that she could keep an eye on Harley and prevent her from getting herself killed without making a fuss is also an example of this trope. Following Martian Manhunterâ€™s advise, Nightwing decides against killing the extraterrestrials the vampires wonâ€™t turn or feed from, deciding instead to let them go back to their homeworlds. This proves to be a wise decision, as in exchange those the galactic community allow the vampires to feed on the humans on Earth without intervening. On the mortals' side, several supervillains have allied themselves with superheroes in order to avoid becoming food. Notably, Killer Croc acts as the guard for the Bottle City of Kandor where the resistance has made their base, Black Manta is a member of the resistance (though as it turns out, it's actually Mera under the armor), and several evil geniuses including Professor Pyg, Professor Hugo Strange and the Thinker are shown working on extracting Lex Luthor's blood from Harley Quinn.

By the time the human resistance discovers this, the vampires have been systematically destroying every Lazarus Pit they could find and Man-Bat laments the fact they had a cure under their noses all this time. Deathstroke has doubts about its long-term efficacy and it's hinted it may not be perfect though, as Jean-Paul Valley starts hearing voices in his head, though of course that's muddled by the fact that Jean-Paul wasn't the most stable person to begin with.

The heroes are a Ragtag Bunchof Misfits with knightly and mythological motifs (Azrael, Mary Marvel...) assembled by a heroic wizard (John Constantine), to find a mythic MacGuffin (a Lazarus Pit). The villain, Baron Cinder, styles himself after a medieval nobleman, makes prominent use of (high-tech) armor and, unlike other vampires in this setting, seemingly considers his new state a curse, but cannot fight against it. To escape his curse, he has captured Princess Koriand'r a.k.a. Starfire, whom he keeps trapped inside a Cinderella Castle, that's part of an abandoned amusement park, near the Blood Farm in Florida. In the wake of the apocalypse, the swamps around it resemble a decrepit forest. The Baron's defense consists of a group of literal vampire knights (Prometheus, Atomic Knight, Arkham Knight and Shining Knight) that he uses to oppose the heroes. The vampire he's using to control the flow of sunlight and keep the darkness is called a wizard (Weather Wizard).

DC vs. Vampires (Comic Book) / int_9c45b5a2	comment	What Measure Is a Non-Human?: It's a recurring element that most humans, even superheroes who otherwise have sworn to never take a life, have very little problems staking vampires, generally under the justification that they are already dead. When Nightwing points out that Batman is basically telling the Bat Family to kill any vampires they encounter, Batman simply states that they're already dead. And while Nightwing himself is later revealed to be the new King of the Vampires, he still justifies his actions arguing that Bruce, and humans in general, were going to simply wipe them all out. Unbeknownst to him, Bruce had privately shown doubts about his attitude. Defied by John Constantine, who doesnâ€™t seem to be all bothered by the fact that Zatanna is a vampire and is in fact more angered when Dr. Fate kills her and cites this trope. Played for morbid laughs when the magic users at the House of Mystery are using a captured vampire to try and find a cure. When another vampire accuses them of torture and the magic users say they aren't torturing him, the captured vampire immediately explodes covering everyone with blood. Called out by Punchline, who tells Barbara and her crew they're hypocrites for killing vampires without remorse (and not considering it murder), and still maintain their no kill rule when it comes humans, even if those humans are murderers. Though Barbara later argues to Damian sheâ€™s trying to preserve humankind, so thereâ€™s a pragmatic motive for her choices.

DC vs. Vampires (Comic Book) / int_9f63d4f1	comment	Our Vampires Are Different: These vampires possess the classic powers (inhuman strength, speed, mind manipulation...), are weak to holy symbols and holy water and get burned by direct sunlight (though can still operate during daytime if covered), they can switch between their former living appearance and a more monstrous one when attacking and can transform into bats. Other than direct sunlight, the only method that seems to put them down for good is a stake to the heart. When Amanda Waller blows the heads of the Suicide Squad members that were vampires, the rest of the their bodies remain intact, and Batgirl even theorizes that their heads may even grow back. The turned metahumans also retain the abilities they had in life and can use them to circumvent their weaknesses. Hal uses his Green Lantern ring to filter the direct ultraviolet light that would normally harm him, and Diana can't be pierced by a normal stake (or arrow) due to her strength and durability. The process of turning one into a vampire consists of making the victim drink the vampire's blood, and also seems to be extraordinarily fast. After being bitten, Wonder Woman appears as a vampire at the end of the same day. When Red Hood is being turned, the process seems takes a matter of panels, though it is interrupted when Red Hood is mercy-killed by Green Arrow. All-Out War establishes that vampire bites in this universe are extraordinarily painful (Captain Cold describes the bite as being more painful than being shot in the gut), and their saliva is a powerful anticoagulant. Upon being bitten, a human is likely to either rapidly bleed out or accept being turned in order to stop the pain. Even if they survive that, the bite itself can still force a vampiric transformation, albeit a slower one.

When he reveals his vampirism to the Flash and Wonder Woman, he flat-out describes being a vampire as a good thing. Played with in the second issue: the vampire Hal Jordan still values his friendship with Barry Allen and sincerely regrets killing him on orders from his master, but only because he "wanted to conquer the world" with him. This seems to be the case with almost anyone who becomes a vampire, regardless of how heroic or moral they were previously. The only exception seen so far is Damian Wayne, who remains firmly allied with Alfred and other human survivors after being turned. Later, it's shown to also apply to Kate Kane/Batwoman, who was taught how to control her ravenous vampiric hunger by Damian, and thus she also remains on the side of the angels.

DC vs. Vampires (Comic Book) / int_ea1fe5d3	comment	Staking the Loved One: Discussed between Batman and Green Arrow as per the page quote. It becomes a recurring theme in the series and whether some are willing, capable or succesful in doing so, depends on the character and moment: At first Batman says they should stake the vampires outright and starts the series seemingly willing to fight seriously, but when the moment comes that they've captured Hal and Diana, he hesitates and changes his mind, telling Green Arrow they shouldnâ€™t kill them. He gets killed before he can stake anybody. The reverse happens with Green Arrow, who at fails to do this the first time he confronts Hal Jordan when Batman tells him to do so, pretending he's just missed. He changes his mind later and succesfully stakes Hal, after seeing how far gone he is. Completely averted with John Constantine, who never tries to kill or attack Zatanna (and in fact chastises Dr. Fate when he does so). Also averted by the non-turned members or the Justice League, like Superman, who are under the (false) assumption that Batman is a vampire. Their only interest is to contain Batman and find a cure. Averted by Supergirl, who even a year into the conquest still tries to talk Aquaman down. Mera, however, has no such doubts. Barbara Gordon wants to kill Dick Grayson personally, but her lingering feelings for him still put doubts in her head. Ultimately, as he renders himself defenseless, she's unable to kill him. At least not while her humanity is intact. At the very beginning of the infestation, before being turned Nightwing tries to do this to his sister Melinda, who's betrayed him and left vulnerable for the other vampires to turn, but can't bring himself to do so.

DC vs. Vampires (Comic Book) / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: In Hunters #1, Damian lies nearly dead and all of his other allies are killed or incapacitated, so Alfred is left alone with Nightwing. After a tense but civil conversation, Nightwing decides to let them both go, only telling Alfred not to come after him again and asking him to promise to take care of Damian. Even though she's killed countless vampires, a vampirized Martian Manhunter tells Jayna that she can go back to her home planet of Exxor unharmed if she wants, provided she stops fighting and gives them Supergirl.
