This is a ridiculous book, which should be obvious from the title alone, but it's also a fun read. Although it does suffer from DC'S usual "heroes arrive too late to save anyone" problem.
It's not just Batman and Superman, either, Nightwing shows up, as does Wonder Woman and even Green Arrow (with wood-tipped arrows, of course.)
All in all, an entertaining book if you can get a copy.

For a graphic novel with Vampires & Werewolves in the title, it wasn't very scary. I think I would have preferred a straight up horror story, without the addition of Superheroes. Batman fits into the night time, gothic feel of the story, but Superman sticks out like a sore thumb.
The story might have been so-so, but the artwork by Tom Mandrake was gorgeous. I've never thought of him as a superhero artist, but he's perfect for a story involving the supernatural. Too bad they couldn't have added The Spectre to the story. Mandrake's rendition of the character is my favorite.

This is a ridiculous book, which should be obvious from the title alone. And I wish I could say this is a really fun comic. Sadly, however, it's a pale imitation of what could have been an amazing comic. It's a mix of Lovecraftian horror and "the old mad occult scientist" seeking immortality tropes mashed up with a Batman detective story and Superman randomly punching stuff. It never rises above the tropes to truly horrific or interesting. And there are some nitpicky things that bothered me such as Batman slaying vampires! (which seems out of character for him as he is opposed to killing and vampires after all are former humans). But, if you accept this as the B-movie script it is, it's fairly entertaining.
