The Batman vs. Dracula arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. What makes The Batman vs. Dracula work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. Gotham City is terrorized not only by recent escapees Joker and Penguin, but by the original creature of the night, Dracula! Can Batman stop the ruthless vampire before he turns everyone in the city, including The Caped Crusader, Joker and Penguin, into his mindless minions? Rino Romano and Peter Stormare lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It was released in 2005. The rules of The Batman vs. Dracula's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

The Batman vs. Dracula is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Rino Romano grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
