Batman vs Dracula

Upon learning of the mafia money hidden in the Gotham cemetery, two patients flee from Arkham - the Joker and Oswald Cobblepot . Information about their escape immediately goes to Batman . On the way to the cemetery, the fugitives quarrel; The Joker throws the Penguin off the bridge and runs away. Batman catches up with him, and between them begins a fight as a result of which the Joker falls into the ocean with a stun gun and allegedly dies. Meanwhile, the Penguin, having got out of the river, comes to the cemetery. In search of the necessary crypt, he accidentally falls into the tomb of Dracula . Trying to open the coffin, where he thinks the treasure is kept, the Penguin accidentally wounds his hand with the retractable blade of his umbrella; blood seeps into the coffin and awakens Dracula. He using hypnosis makes Penguin serve himself.

Following this, people begin to disappear in Gotham at night. Few who managed to escape the attack claim to have seen someone looking like a huge bat. This casts a shadow of suspicion on Batman, and no one realizes that all these mysterious disappearances are the work of Dracula. Drinking the blood of his victims, he turns them into vampires , hoping over time to conquer Gotham with their help, and in the long term - the whole world. In addition, Dracula becomes interested in Batman and his girlfriend Vicki Vale. Appearing at the dinner party at Bruce Wayne's house under the name "Dr. Alucard," he makes a pleasant impression on Vicki; Wayne, on the contrary, feels the evil. His opinion grows into confidence when he writes the name “Alucard” on a tray with red lipstick and brings it to the mirror. The name "Dracula" is reflected in the mirror. Batman begins to study everything related to vampirism, in the hope of protecting Gotham and its inhabitants.

Batman hurries to the Gotham Cemetery to search for vampires. But the cemetery watchman calls a special group, and she drives Batman into one of the abandoned houses. But getting out on the roof the hero discovers that someone during this time has killed all the pursuers. Dracula appears, and he and Batman chase the rooftops. Dracula offers Batman to become a vampire and gain immortality, but he responds with a sharp refusal. The vampire dumps the hero on the roof of the car and is about to kill, but the sudden dawn breaks his plans.

In the morning, Alfred brings a fresh press to the wounded Bruce Wayne: "Batman is trying to protect Gotham, but the city is afraid of him, as if he is the son of Dracula." Meanwhile, Dracula continues to hunt people. His next victim is the surviving Joker, who, like Penguin, also, in search of treasures, enters the tomb of Dracula. After becoming a vampire, the Joker decides to rob the Gotham blood bank, but Batman captures him at the crime scene. Having placed the Joker in his underground laboratory, he examines his blood to develop a cure for vampirism. Absorbed in this activity, Batman completely forgets that he invited Vicki to visit. Having waited in vain for him, Vicky, annoyed, goes home, but "Dr. Alucard" lies in wait and abducts her.

Finally, Batman manages to create a vaccine that cures people of vampirism, but at the same time they lose their memory of what happened and experience it on the Joker. Having become a man again, the Joker, not remembering what happened, talks about the whereabouts of Dracula and Penguin - the Gotham cemetery. Bruce is about to wait until dawn, but receives a message that Vicki managed to send from her phone. He immediately realizes that “Tall Strange Brunette” is Dracula. The hero makes the cartridges stuffed with the vaccine and goes in search of Dracula. He at this time performs in his crypt an ominous rite over the insensible body of Vicki, in order to take her soul and with her help bring her bride back to life. He is already close to the goal, but here Batman, breaking through a crowd of vampires, bursts into the crypt and breaks the spell; Dracula's bride turns to dust again. Dracula himself attacks Batman, and the battle begins. The wounded Dark Knight leads the Prince of Darkness to the Batcave, where Alfred shoots a vampire with a vaccine cartridge from a crossbow. But the medicine does not work on Dracula. Then Batman lures Dracula to the solar generator and turns it on. Due to sunlight, the vampire burns and crumbles to dust. With the death of Dracula, the effect of his enchantment on the Penguin ends, and he immediately recalls his original goal - the search for treasure. This time he quickly finds a place where the money is hidden, but he is immediately arrested by the police and returned to Arkham ^[1] . And Batman continues to protect Gotham from crime.
