Rino Romano, Peter Stormare, Tom Kenny

The creators of the popular The Batman animated series pit the Caped Crusader against the Prince of Darkness in this energetic full-length animated feature. This isn't the first time Batman (Ri...( read more  read more... )no Romano) has squared off against Dracula--the Dark Knight faced him in the critically acclaimed graphic novel Red Rain--but in this battle, he's up against not only the King of the Vampires (voiced with gusto by Peter Stormare) but his longtime foes the Joker (Kevin Michael Richardson) and the Penguin (Tom Kenny); it's the latter who accidentally revives Dracula, and reluctantly aids the bloodsucker in unleashing a wave of vampirism in Gotham. Can the Batman defeat this terrible trio in time before lady-love Vicky Vale (Tara Strong) becomes their next victim? Only one way to find out--and while you're enjoying the film, be sure to explore the supplemental features, which include "Voices in Close-up," with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the film's vocal talent, as well as "City of the Knight," a game that allows access to additional behind-the-scenes glimpses. --Paul Gaita

    I was very Skeptic 2 watch this until i caught on tv while I was High. I enjoyed it very much, I thought some scenes looked incredible and the story was suprisingly entertaining. If your're a fan give it a chance. If you still Long for the batman we all loved from the past then s...( read more)kip it.

    The Batman was never as good as Batman: The Animated Series. It became more childlike just as the movies were becoming more adult. With this in mind The Batman vs. Dracula sounds awful. Kind of like the old Batman Meets Scooby Doo. Surprisingly it's a success. Never camp but neve...( read more)r too dark. The story ties in the Batman and Dracula myths quite well, and the script is smart enough to draw on comparisons between the two. All the problems are inherited from the show itself, with some bizarre if interesting designs for Penguin and Joker. Bat Fans can rejoice at another entertaining spin on a classic hero, just don't expect The Dark Knight or B:TAS levels of sophistication.

    I really really do not like this version of the Joker! I love the Classic suite with slicked back hair this version (although i do automaticly love him cuz well, hes the JOKER!) he looks like he has DREADLOCKS! and the red eyes all kinda bug me....

    A disgrace to Batman animation.
  • November 22, 2009
    The animation isn't all that good. The plot is very contrived, and dull. The guy doing Batman's voice was good though.

    Has great scenes, but it was way too unrealistic in the Batman world. Also, why Dracula?

    Was actually looking for the old batman series but stumbled across this. Must find this movie!

    Pretty good film for a full-length animation movie. Gives the movie a very good story, Dracula has risen, and Batman is going to put Drake into a permanet sleep.

    I for one don't do Animated Movies, except for maybe something like Ice Age, Incredible, movies in that line. I found this at Oldies.Com for a good price and figured what the heck, it had Dracula in it. Well Dracula is a pretty freaky guy in this movie, and Batman looks to be a ...( read more)little over weight and out of shape but hey he still beats the dog snott out of Joker, Penguin, and Dracula. Its not a bad movie but I would not give it more then 3 stars, its not old school Batman (1950-1960) but a newer Batman. Understand 3 stars is high for me, I wouldn't be caught dead watching Simpson?s, Family Guy, Whatever Dad, that?s Trash plain and simple and if your letting anyone in your family under 16 watch that garbage, don't be one of these parents bitching about the books down in the school or public Library, Oh Sorry I'll get off my soap box. 3 Stars.
