Tales of the Multiverse: Batman: Vampire by Doug Moench

3.0

I have read some weird books, but this is one novel I just couldn’t take. While I love the art style of the 90’s, this has to be the weirdest thing I may have ever read. I couldn’t buy Batman as a Vampire. It starts out weird but I’m still going with it until he sprouts wings and is now for real the BAT-man. In Bloodstorm, just looking at the Joker in this strange setting made me giggle, it wasn‘t much of a story and not up to par with the Jokers‘ usual antics. Then they did it. They took my favorite character to obsess over (Selena Kyle) and made her a were-cat when she was bitten by a wolf that was really a vampire who happened to turn into said wolf. HUH? Wouldn’t she be a vampire or werewolf then? As it progressed the artwork got more goofy with the Vamp-Batman. In Crimson Mist it kept getting more goofy bringing in every single villain and killing them- the thing Batman never does. I really didn’t like the ending, to summarize everybody dies.
