Elseworlds: Batman & Dracula: Red Rain

A dark story to be sure. Batman is investigating a series of murders of Gotham's homeless, all of the victims throats have been slashed. This leads him to discover a family of vampires, lead by Dracula himself. Teaming up with a rouge vampire named Tanya, who is powerless against Dracula's vampire powers, she drains Batman of some of his blood, to turn him so that he may fight the Vampire Lord. This eventually leads to a final confrontation in the Batcave, with Batman detonating charges, collapsing Wayne Manor destroying all the vampires within. Batman then flies to Dracula on his new wings, impaling the monster on a lighting struck tree, but at the cost of his own humanity, Dracula drains the last of his blood, fulling turning Batman. After his "will" has been read by Alfred, Batman assures his old friend not to worry, Bruce Wayne may be gone, but because of these new abilities, Batman will live on forever. This story is not for the faint of heart, but to all who are loyal fans of the Dark Knight, go out and pick up a copy today!
