![]() Rating: - Bloodstorm Improves the Story "Batman: Bloodstorm" is so satisfying as a sequel it makes "Red Rain" a much more satisfying read. One review really hits the nail on the head when asserting that the vampire plot and characters such as Catwoman and the Joker are really device to explore Batman's struggle with his fallen condition.

I don't care about the vampire monsters, per se, for to me they are only a necessary plot device. The same ...

Whereas Red Rain was bogged down by the need to introduce the concepts of vampire lore, character reaction and setup, and other formalities, this book can leap right into things and get to the important business of telling the story. In this Elseworld's tale, Batman is now a vampire. In many ways it is a vindication of his self image as a creature of the night apart from normal humans. At the same time, Batman is built ...
