In true Hammer film style Penguin accidently resurrects Dracula, becomes his thrall and the two begin to unleash a reign of terror upon Gotham City as the Count begins to transform its citizens into vampires. The Joker/Penguin alliance falls apart and it is the Penguin who stmbles not upon the treasure but the remains of Count Dracula himself. The story involves Joker and Penguin escaping from Arkham Asylum in search of a treasure hidden within the depths of Gotham Cemetary. Now I won't claim it to be perfect (because it isn't) but it is a more than decent direct to DVD release. Frankly I'm glad I did because "Batman vs Dracula" is really a dang good animated Batman adventure and a fine Halloween treat to boot. I had no intention of buying this DVD (no really, I swear I didn't) but something made me take a chance on it while I was picking up the other Batman DVD releases on that fateful Tuesday afternoon. Well, if this direct to DVD movie is anything to go by I may have to change that attitude. In fact I've only seen a mere handful of the new series and just wasn't inspired enough to tune in for more.
"As far as animated Batman series go I much prefer the series that ran during the '90's on the WB rather than the current incarnation.
