Yeah Batman the Animated Series is good but did the Batman from that show ever fight Dracula, that big fucking nerd?
DIDN'T THINK SO
“I think I need to un wet my pants”
1st Rewatch
This movie had cool animation, a unique story, great voice acting, Interesting characters, and a pretty cool score. I never liked the Joker design from the animated show or this movie, but I liked the voice actor and I appreciated the uniqueness of the design but it’s never been my favorite, I did however really like the Batman design from my understanding this Batman is still in his early years so you watch him make a few mistakes and learn a few lessons throughout the movie. For a children’s animated movie it did get pretty dark, there’s a lot of blood but it makes sense since the story revolves around Dracula.…
As ridiculous as Batman vs. Dracula sounds, I was more surprised by how much fun this actually was. DC has always been at its creative best in the animation department and the fact that they've created a fun and engaging film from such a goofy concept is a testament to that fact. Although i'm not quite sure what they were doing with the Joker's character model?
All in all there's really not much to add to this review, if you've seen any DCAU film then you'll know what you're in for. Batman fighting Dracula is as fun and ridiculous as it sounds, which should be enough to sell this film to anyone.
So when I was growing up I never really watched much superhero or comic related properties, except for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series from 2003. However, very ocassionally I would catch an episode of the 2004 series of The Batman, and I was always enthralled. The Joker was so unique, The Penguin was voiced by Tom Kenny, and all the buildings and atmosphere of the show had a strange and eerie air to them. That is why I was somewhat hoping The Batman vs. Dracula would be good, even with the whole concept being extremely silly. And my hopes came true.
Dracula is handled pretty well, and the film combines ideas of modern medicine and plagues with supernatural forces…
63/100
I swear some of the best Batman films are animated. I love how someone like Batman can get boring yet DC finds someone or something for him to fight. Dracula, they choose Dracula and made it awesome. The plot is so great and combines with the great animation style great. The voice acting is also really good but I'm not a fan of this joker, but he wasn't in it a lot so it didn't bother me a lot. It's a great film for the Halloween season and highly recommend it.
Hit me right in that sweet nostalgic spot. Damn it was fun to watch cartoons as a kid.
Not the nostalgia talking, taking into account this is made for kids so there’s only so much violence that can be displayed, this film is genuinely captivating and engrossing in a way that essentially finishes off the series (if you stop watching after season 2) on an incredibly high note.
My favorite DC character vs. My favorite universal monster...
Yeah nerdgasms aplenty!!!
Love this animated Batman adventure. Creepy imagery and even a Vampire Joker(scary all on his own).
9 out of 10
A long The Batman episode that overreaches with a crude Joker design and a half ass story that could've been taken care of in 23 minutes instead.
Happy Batman Day, nonetheless 🦇
My brother and I watched this when I was like 6 but couldn't finish it. I started crying because it was so scary and my brother quite literally vomited out of sheer fear. To be clear: it was so scary, his body didn't know what else to do except violently throw up as some sort of last ditch fight-or-flight. Trauma.
Today, many years later, we overcame a decade of horror and became stronger individuals.
It turns out? The movie's just kinda okay.
Thanks, Batman vs. Dracula!
This was a decent long form The Batman episode meets a Dracula horror flick, with Dracula voiced wonderfully by Peter Stormare and the appearance of a vampire Batman (very briefly) and vampire Joker....the Jokers godawful design for this series actually works when he's a vampire. But the score that runs through most of this just annoyed the hell out of me so much and kept ripping me out of my enjoyment of the movie. Maybe dial it back a bit next time guys.
The man who dresses like a bat takes on the count who turns into a bat!
This may be the best top 10 match up in pop culture history!
And the climatic battle was just epic!
Though a vampire Joker was much worse than the original!
Revisiting a childhood favorite, kind of crazy how vividly I remember some scenes despite not having seeing it in 10+ years. Overall, still enjoyable but not without some flaws.
The story is actually better than you would expect from such a silly sounding premise but the opening (everything up to Batman and Dracula meeting) is definitely the strongest aspect. The pacing is too quick though, hardly giving any scene time to breathe. The action is also poor and unexciting.
The music is great but it falls victim to reusing the same motif repeatedly which is a shame because the score could easily be the best part.
Most of the problems I have are critiques of The Batman show rather than…
It has Vampires and the 2004 era Joker which I love. What more can I ask for.
(8/10)
Unfortunately, Batman and Dracula don't mix quite as well as they should. Super-hero comic books, fun as they may be, usually stink at doing horror. This movie has that problem, too. Personally, I thought it was silly every time Dracula zoomed around like the Flash or turned into a drooling Nosferatu. His melodramatic dialogue wasn't much good, either - "I'll use your cape for a dinner napkin," indeed! I also had problems with the movie's tackiness. A vampire Joker is fun, but showing him lick up blood from the floor like a dog is in questionable taste.
There's some originality issues here, too. The Vicki Vale subplot is lifted right out of the first Tim Burton movie, and it's become…
Fun fight choreography? Check.
Peter Stormare as Dracula? Check.
Callbacks to the Stoker's book? Check.
Goofy fun with an unfortunately short lived animated series.
Not enough meat on the bone here but nonetheless entertaining Batman adventure.
I’m the Batman.
I used to watch this during my childhood, not as much as BTAS and Batman Beyond but a good amount. Starts with Joker and Penguin breaking out of Arkham Asylum stopped briefly by Batman. Always liked how Joker looks in this, he has this animal element. It was interesting to see how Dracula came into the story. The animation’s aged well considering it’s 16 years old and from the Ben 10 era of cartoons. Peter Stormare from Fargo voices Dracula, that’s cool. I like Rino Romano as Bruce Wayne, his voice is pretty good but I love his SM voice, he’s been a major part of childhood since he voiced SM in the PS1 games.
Alfred was so…
Overall, although not as good as the previous batman animations, I still enjoyed watching. Dracula's character was well reflected.
So they decided to make a movie on the Batman and Dracula and they kept Vampire Batman from us. Unacceptable.
