![]() Rating: - Batman the Vampire - May God Have Mercy on Our SoulsOne reviewer claims this is not a Batman tale like the first two, but instead a vampire tale using Batman as a device (my paraphrase). His point is well taken and understandable, but ultimately, I disagree. Batman is brought back from the grave. The Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Penguin, and Two-Face are the villains at center stage and Gordon is disparate and needs the Batman. Batman fights against his nature where he can, buy giving into the bloodlust where he can - essentially, Gordon ... Read More Rating: - It's not a Batman story.The main character of this piece was a vampire in a Batman suit, not a vampire Batman. By that, I mean the author never got inside Batman's head the way the first two installments in the trilogy do. I understand that he is supposed to have been driven insane by the blood thirst, but what "remained" was not recognizably a characterization of Batman. You could take this story, replace Batman with one of the generic European aristocrat vampires from bad horror stories and the final product would ...

Of corse, I have not read the first 2 books but I picked this one up since it was in paperback and all the other copies I found were in hardcover...being the avid Batman Graphic Novel reader I am, I expected Batman to cure himself from being a vampire (that's all I had heard. That he became a vampire, and knowing my folklore, there is a cure to gaining your humnaity back). No such luck. :( Read More Rating: - Not As Good As the First Two Books, But Get It AnywayDon't get me wrong, Batman as a vampire is the most compelling concept I've come across in comic-land. The first two books were so cool and intense that years later I still read it with eyes intent on the page. I can't say for others, but for me it speaks of the heart's deep inner urges, longings, appetites, and pent-up rage and regrets. Bloodstorm was, for me, the penultimate description of the human condition. Only Christie Golden's book, "Vampire of the Mists," can touch what the creators have ... Read More Rating: - Fanaticos del Murcielago no seran decepcionadosEste es un muy buen libro que completa la trilogia de vampiros (Red Rain y Bloodstorm siendo los otros dos), el arte es continuo con los libros anteriores y el relato excelente. Personalmente creo que Red Rain cuenta la mejor historia, Bloodstorm (mi favorito) entra de lleno en el mundo del detective y Crimson Mist da un buen termino a la serie. No considero cinco estrellas ya que me hubiera gustado ver a un Batman un poco mas humano en Crimson Mist, y quizas una historia un poco menos apresurada. Browse for similar items by category:
