Thanks so much for watching the video, if you can - please share the video everywhere, Reddit would be appreciated especially. Much love y'all thanks for watching, and now Ima take a long break 😌
Always a pleasure having you around. Your presence will remain strong, if you need a break. See ya around
Why no one talking about batman ninja?
@Pavith Salinda
Batman Ninja is a far newer movie, without an accompanying tv series.
I bet in five to ten years will the children and young people who love that movie interact with the internet in a meaningful way.
This is the core of the movie’s fanbase.
I’m gonna take you up on that offer of sandman. Been wanting it for a while
Am I crazy or does Dracula’s design bear a striking resemblance to Ra’s Al Ghul?! Like turn that cape to a green color and it’s uncanny
It would make sense in a weird way since Ra’s never showed up in The Batman but he has such a big presence in the Batman mythos that I could DEFINITELY see him starting as the focal point to his very own movie, and maybe some early changes turned it into what it is now, and they kept that design cause JUST LOOK AT HIM!!
I remember as a child how terrifying that Joker scene was when he was at the blood clinic. This movie is amazing!
RIGHT?! So good.
i had nightmares because of that scene lmfao
Bro I was like wtf am I watching when I saw it as a kid it was really great movie 😂
@@doughboy3843 SAMEE
OH MY GOD 3 NIGHTS STRAIGHT I COULD NOT SLEEP BECAUSE OF THAT SCENE WHEN I WAS LITTLE !
I’m glad they made it realistic in the sense that theirs No Way Batman can beat Dracula up with just Hand to Hand Combat
dracula dominate that fight so hard it bay actually be my favorite scene in the movie
MurkTheDreamer hey ive been loving ur lou2 vids my guy keep it up!
hE JuSt nEEdeD pREp TIme bRO
Yeah but they also made Batman indestructible. His face literally gets slammed through concrete at one point.
Your dust
It’s always bothered me how everyone in the Batman community just doesn’t acknowledge that this show existed
I know it is so stupid
I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds it annoying when people compare it with Batman TAS and Batman Beyond. It's as good and dark as those two
@@chrisanderson2204 this, brave and the bold and beware the bat are always neglected for the bad parts
i mean to be fair, it could be that a lot of people just straight up have never heard of it. when the show was airing for the first time they gave it like, the worst hours possible, like i'm talking the 12-4 am block.
@@hellr4zer19 Yeah it’s just I always found it strange how people ONLY bring up BTAS when they talk about Batman media ( it is fire tho)
Hardly the most well known Batman story. But a tale worthy of the protagonist.
100% agree with you there
IMO it's still a half assed version of the Red Rain Trilogy
I agree. This take was very good and interesting
@@Vamroc It's kinda impossible to do Red Rain properly in a kid-oriented adaptation to begin with though. Even this movie already got bumped up in the age rating compared to the actual series.
@@Vamroc what? The story was completely different from red rain. It does it own thing with the vampire stuff. Besides the third entry to the trilogy was completely unnecessary.
This movie really does get overlooked.
More overlooked than TASM?...common...Atleast Browntable made a video in BvD .....
The show it self is even more over looked
the_other_guy 2134 Very True.
@@theotherguy21 true
I remember being so shocked as a kid when Bruce wrote Alucard on a plate, and held it in front of a mirror and it read Dracula. So f-cking cool, just thinking about it makes me so nostalgic about the film and also the series
Yes this was one of my first exposures to Dracula. Still one of the best
And at that moment, the name Alucard for me remains associated with that one exact scene. Nothing can change that
I am a '98 born, and neither Castlevania nor Hellsing were within my circle of interest at the time this movie was out. So don't be surprised when anyone asked me questions involving Alucard I'd ask back if it's about this movie
saaaaame haha
@@BawonoSA173 Same mate. I remember seeing people with the nickname "Alucard" online and thinking it was for this movie...
@ Actually Alucard is from Universal's Son of Dracula starring Lon Chaney Jr.
Personally I liked Dracula taking Bruce down a peg; reminding him he isn't the 'only' creature of the night!
Agreed.
You merely adopted the dark
I was born in it molded by it
Honestly I would totally watch Spider-Man vs Beelzebub...
A young demonologist accidentally summons freakin' Beelzebub, and has to team up with the one superhero equipped to battle the Lord of Flies...
Yeah, I'd watch that. Bonus points for Peter complaining that Princes of Hell are way beyond his pay grade.
Spider vs flies
Spiderman actually fought Mephisto in the comics. Also the green goblin got resurrected as a demon in the comics as well.
@@micracerberus2335 Ironically, I'm coming up with a story concept that make a reference about the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse and what they represent historically. Beelzebub representing Pestilence, The Greek God Ares representing War, The Original Sin of Gluttony representing Famine, and the son of The Grim Reaper representing Death.
@Always watching ok but what about a spider-man vs beelzebub that isn't terrible
The Batman vs Dracula is no joke the funnest and one of the best Batman movies
@Gold Bond Ultimate Hydrating Lotion
Yeah I definitely recognize that point of view. The odd thing is that most modern creators try to make the main character and world as serious as possible.
Batman is not heartless. So neither should everything else.
Without a doubt
After Batman VS. TMNT it's the animated Batman movie I've watched the most
@@erikthomsen4768 yeah
Fun fact: this was also technically the first animated appearance of Vicki Vale. Wonder how she never appeared in Batman TAS?
Probably because Bruce’s relationships with Selina and Talia were already big parts of the series and with Andrea also added to the mix with Mask Of The Phantasm I think adding another love interest character would’ve gotten annoying
I think having Vicki would’ve destroyed Bruce’s arc as well if you ask me. The whole Arc for Bruce in the DCAU is he eventually pushes everybody away as his depression gets worse and worse until he’s a decrepit old man in his 90’s on the verge of pushing Terry away as well. Having Vicki would’ve kinda diminished that as she’s pretty much one of the only women in the comics he can have a healthy relationship with which wasn’t what the DCAU Batman was about it was more about how he was toxic and ruined the lives of everybody he had a long enough relationship with
There was another reporter in the show called "Summer Gleeson" who was basically Vicki Vale with a different name.
Maybe they didn't want to use Vicki Vale's name because she was in Tim Burton's Batman and audiences would have expected her to have a bigger role in the series?
I have read the comments and realized something
What if Vicki just
Wasn't in a relationship with Bruce for some of the appearances.
There are female batman continuity characters Bruce hasn't had a relationship with.
Her role was taken by Summer Gleeson.
Dracula in this looks like Ra's Al Ghul.
kinda fitting since Ra's wasn't allowed in The Batman due to the whole Bat Embargo thing like Two Face and Scarecrow.
The moody 70's Batman era was inspired by the Hammer and other studios horror movies during the time, and Ra's was inspired, partly on Christopher Lee's Dracula and Fu Man Chu
@@BubblesZap The what now?
@@RazorusR3X777 so in the early 2000s DC had this weird thing where they didn't want multiple different versions of ghe same character appearing in different media because it would supposedly confuse audiences. Because of that shows like Justice league unlimited were not allowed to use characters like nightwing , Batgirl or any major batman villains besides small ones like deadshot becauss there were being used in The Batman at the time. Similarly The Batman couldnt use characters appearing in the dark knight series mainly the first 2. Robin didnt appear in the show until its last seasons due to him appearing in teen titans as well. Basically unless you were the bat himself a character could only be in one show at a time. Was a bunch of garbo....
Well funny you say that. This was originally meant to be a Ra's Al Ghul design, but Bat Embargo wouldn't allow a lot of his characters to appear. So they took the design and reimagined to fit for Dracula
I really want him to analyze Under the Red Hood, it is such a good Batman film.
Maybe sometime soon! I love that movie!
Under the Red Hood was the first time I ever really understood how hard it would be to be Batman. I love The Dark Knight trilogy, but that scene at the end of the movie is probably the most emotionally intense Batman scene, and it makes me tear up
@@Browntable O yes :D!
I want his short take on the interaction movie that’s coming out real soon.
This is my fav Batman movie
Dude the way you described it as “two mythological figures fighting for dominance” was PERFECT! That’s exactly how I’ve always felt about this movie. I always liked how Dracula was kind of impressed by Batman and pitied him almost, then Batman comes back and proves he’s the bigger legend.
"I'm the Batman, and you're dust". Every time he says that it gets me hype, and gives me chills
Joker straight up dying more times than Oliver in Crisis On Infinite Earths 😂
This movies is also based on a storyline that isn't considered part of the mainstream DC canon, with the original emding being that Batman becomes a vampire.
Similarly, Dracula is also used as a recurring villain in the mainstream Marvel canon, meaning Dracula is technically a Marvel villain *and* DC villain.
Altough that's the perks of Dracula being public domain; even something like DOAWK could use Dracula with no legal issue.
Christopher Case well he is in public Domain
It’s called Batman: Red Rain if anyone’s wondering
mc_macapaca speaking of, i wish that the Justice league cartoon have another alternative versions of them as monsters
He got beat by Batman then went to the marvel universe😂
@@SwayzOGRenzO When everything went from bat to worst was in 1966 when Dell (original comic book home of Uncle Scrooge, Bugs Bunny, Barbie & Ken, etc) made a comic where Dracula was a costumed superhero who got his powers from drinking a serum made from bats' brains!!!
The best batman with the best "I'm batman" usage, scene and speech.
I remember being terrified by this movie, the whole dark atmosphere was heavy, but interesting.
I love how the film ends up relating the figures of Batman and Dracula, like two versions of a myth that has been updated through time, just like Hercules and Superman.
Great video, as always, loved it! XD
Fun fact: The guy who plays Drac in this also played Godbrand in the Netflix Castlevania series
Oh, sh*t, really? I actually never noticed 🤯
man that series is so freaking goooodddd, can't wait for more
Sadly he played a much cooler vampire in this movie rather than in Castlevania where all he does is whine and complain.
@@thefanwithoutaface8105 But he was the only one with personality among vampire generals
@@thefanwithoutaface8105 someone forgot the mountain chase scene it seems.
Let me tell you a story...
I’m 7 yrs old and it’s dark outside, we were on a road trip with my cousin and we needed entertainment whilst in a car. My cousins parents had one of those cars with a TV. So they put on a movie. That movie was Batman vs Dracula, I was scared out of my mind when I finished it. After the trip I went home and when I watched tv in boomerang I heard one thing. It was a whisper quiet but chilling and loud, The Batman. I realized that the show was connected to the movie by the designs and realized that this was my Batman. So yeah after watching your first video I’m happy that someone also loves this show.
I remember watching this when was like 11 year old and Dracula at one point says "I'm Alucard". Later Bruce Wayne writes Alucard on a silver platter, holds the platter in front of a mirror and it says Dracula and that's how he finds out. As a kid my mind exploded because i was like "oh my god, Batman is so freaking smart". But now i'm like "Wow that was really easy to figure out".
It's curious, isn't it? How age just seems to ruin our own youthful fun
@@BawonoSA173 Hey, you live, you learn. BTW that trick has also been used in movies, as has the much goofier "Dr. Acula"!
I genuinely believe the episode titled artifacts with old batman nightwing and freeze is a small masterpiece.
YES I agree it’s fantastic
That’s one of my favourite episodes of the show!
Chronology wise, it's the series finale.
I just hate that Barbara becomes oracle and that bruce becomes equally as edgy as every other version of him.
Apparently they were planning a sequel that was going to adapt Batman: Hush, but it never got off the ground.
Man, I would have loved to see that!
Wait WHAT?! Yo that would’ve been an amazing movie!
What a shame
If they did that after the series finale, it would've been better than the Hush movie we got last year.
@@JoelKellenProductions Agreed.
I'm going to be honest, I've never seen Batman vs. Dracula. That said, I'm pretty intrigued to check it out now because of this video. Great job!
Thanks a bunch king! ❤️
You're going to love it
Do it this movie will blow you away
"spider-man vs beelzebub" what are you talking about? i'd totally watch that!
that aside, i love this movie.
isnt beelzebub a super powerful demon? like a prince of hell or something
RGAMA1 I thought he's a baby with green hair?
@@adnvdn 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@rgama1173 Demons exist in Marvel, so why not?
@@commonviewer2488 it's more about power level that anything
Vampire Joker was so scary for me as a kid
*FIGHT BETWEEN BATMAN & ALUCARD/DRACULA IN THE MOONLIGHT IS ONE OF THE BEST ANIMATED CHOREOGRAPHIES*
It's a great movie, I feel it was just underrated because many people didnt watch this series of "The Batman" I still enjoy this movie to this day.
I didn't even know of the series when I saw the movie and I liked it just fine! Every time you see a superhero these days he's been changed around -- heck, now sometimes *he* becomes a *she!* -- so it didn't seem odd to me at all...
I thought I was the only one. A ridiculous concept for the movie. But executed well. Superb movie.
It bloody well was a batty idea! Of course everyone expected it to suck...
I remember having nightmares and being so terrified of Vampires as a kid I grew a fear of vampires and I am very sensitive near my neck now, this movie really left a impact on me as a kid.
I watched this movie as a kid!
Same!
The only bad thing about this movie was that the text didn't say "Batman was created by Bill Finger with Bob Kane"
Lex Truther that’s all batman media
Lex Truther also what’s with this bill finger made batman crap ?
To put it short, Bill Finger created the concept of Batman and the suit, with the help of Bill Finger. Bob Kane disregarded his friend by taking the spotlight instead of Bill saying that he alone created batman until his biography later down in his life. Bill Finger, who created our heroes Batman and Green Lantern, died alone with no money and no royalties until BvS where it finally showed his name. While Bob flourished in Batmania and from the riches. I recommend watching a movie called "Batman and Bill", itll explain more then what I could possibly think now
Yup Bill Finger did it all. Same as Steve Ditko and Spider-Man. Bob and Stan were two greedy guys that took credit for other peoples work.
@@christianbjorck816 except at least Steve got regular mentions and credits
The perfect Batman film for Halloween!
One of, if not the most, underrated, overlooked Batman movies. This film was epic.
3:52 “but the he died again, baby” holy shit that’s funny 💀
Here I am still waiting for a Batman vs Predator movie.
What about Batman v terminator?
and here I am waiting for a Justice League/Transformers crossover comic. (They planned to publish it until the new 52 shelved the plan for the comic crossover to happen. I wanted the batmobile and wonder woman's invisible plane to be Autobots in disguise so bad)
There is a batman vs predator comic
Hmmm, hopefully they can do that or hell superman vs predator thatll be awesome
This movie got away with a LOT of adult stuff for kids.
Namely, actually showing blood in the film!
We're lucky the backwards-minded censors didn't make them have "Alucard" drink "red rum" instead!
The rating of age was higher then the show.
I loved Batman vs Dracula. I remember Dracula saying: "thank you for keeping the idea of a bat man alive" implying Batman is similar to a vampire
But then he dies again baby!
(John Cena theme blairs)
Bro, this shit had me dying great vid!
7:27 ....Thank god you said blood!
I actually had edited it so there was like a one second pause before 'blood', but then I was like "Nah"
The Batman has one of the best animated Joker's I think I've ever seen, I mean his hair is literally shaped like a jesters hat
3:50 "Remember this dude? Forget him. Well technically, he didn't die... but then he dies again BABY!" LMAO!!!
I'd argue that Batman wasn't the most powerful, as Dracula was easily wayyy faster and stronger, but Batman was easily the most intelligent and most resourceful. Dracula's weakness, apart from sunlight, was his hubris, as no one had defeated him before now.
Oh I still have the DVD of BvD! I used to watch this movie lot as a kid.... Love this movie, my childhood Batman!
Dracula actually scared me when I was younger. Honestly, The Batman was one of my favorite shows. It gave me one of my favorite looks for Killer Croc
Who is the most powerful mythological creature in history?
Me: batman
It gets me mad how underrated this movie (and series) is, it deserves better, especially because of that mind-blowing animation like this 4:49 or this 6:41
Okay, thank God. This movie kicked ass, it was a perfect movie for childhood me. Character design was awesome, gothic, creepy, score were great, action was great. I just love it for the vibe, it screams nostaglia. The title sequel with the wonderful classic tune...my God
Bro holy shit could you imagine an Interstellar Ranger Commence panel at SDCC? That sounds so crazy I almost teared up lmao, thank you for picking my question, had bad wording but at the end you kind of got what I was aiming for lol
Yeah Id cry bro lmao
This whole “The Batman” series is overlooked tbh
The music is absolutely stellar. It’s dripping with dark and spooky atmosphere with the guitar for Batman and haunting choir for Dracula
I love that this version Batman really knows how to fight hand to hand. Some Batman versions mostly rely on his tech/devices to win however this version relies more on his combat skills which makes me compare him to the Batman vs TMNT in terms of hand to hand combat skill. The villains on this show can also somewhat face him hand to hand and relies less on their goons to fight him unlike other version of those villains.
This show was so underrated
I've watched this one several times. I agree that no one talks about it though, which is a pity. I guess it just got lost in the vast sea of great Batman stories.
The bloodbank scene with joker and the entire climax fight were just absolutely amazing
Watching this film on Cartoon Network with how dark and how much blood it had felt pretty dang jarring.
Personally I really like this film.
It was willing to walk the line between being a kids film and being made for an older audience.
For example, the scene with the vampire joker in the blood bank is done in a way that it can avoid censorship but you still get the effect. It’s terrifying, disgusting, creepy, and just with Joker would do if he became a vampire.
Also I think this film, like most of the series, does the “Batman can beat anyone” cliché right. When Batman comes across an enemy he’s not familiar with he’ll usually end up getting his butt kicked. It reminds us that he’s human. But then he researches the threat and plans out a way to defeat the enemy and then does. To me, beat your enemies by out thinking them is what Batman is all about. And if that means Batman has to suffer a loss every now and again, so be it. It’ll just make him look that much cooler when he does defeat them!
I haven't even watched this yet, but I have to thank you for this. First it was Spectacular Spider-Man, now The Batman, you're the first person I've ever heard talk nicely about The Batman and its exactly the nostalgia infused positivity I need right now. Thank you for what you do :)
Yes! Thank you for shining light to this movie. It was absolutely my favorite Batman animated movie back in the day. I watched it so many times I lost count I genuinely is very nostalgic to watch you talk about this movie
This was one of my favourite movies to watch as a kid, in fact I still have it on DVD. I always found it odd that I didn't really see anyone talk about this movie until now. Thank you for making a video about Batman vs Dracula I really enjoyed it.
I did not see that add coming. Awesome transition 👏
Thanks for bringing attention to The Batman and specifically this movie, this incarnation really rules imo.
Also, the use of the John Cena theme was fucking perfect, it made me laugh out loud each time
I love the "You are Bruce Wayne" quote right before Drac dies
I'm so happy to finally see someone talking about this movie!!
Man the SWAT team get taken 1 by 1 and that upside down Dracula at the end scared the shit out of me as a kid. Literally check every dark corner I encounter to see if Drac is there or not lol.
Bruh when Batman said: “I’m the Batman....And You’re Dust.” I really felt that ✊🏾
jessus this vid just brought up so much nostalgia.
i loved this film as a kid
I loved the previous video on this version of Batman and I'm glad you made this video too. This movie is really underrated and I'm glad that you're bringing more attention towards it
Loved this. Loved the series, and this movie was fantastic. I loved how dark they actually went with it. I was surprised by the Joker scene, but boy was it good. Great video.
The opening titles of the movie gives vibes this is actually a horror movie
YES!!! I've been a Batman fanboy since I was 3. It makes me happy you're doing videos about his shows
The one advert I actually really liked. It was information about a book, that had relevance. Respect that brother
Actually alot of people talk about it; maybe not as much as mask of the phantasm, but it was a story that BTAS wanted to do but censors prevented it. This even happend to Spider-man's Morbius for the animated series- where you couldn't show blood sucking, and couldn't say blood. You had to say ' Plasma'!
Great breakdown of a great film.
I appreciate how you acknowledge this hidden gem of a movie & show
The KING is back with a new amazing video.
Dracula was a total savage in this.
Dude I really love the way you talk about your show, you just feel so passionate and hopeful, lots of love from brazil!
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, I totally forgot it until you made your previous video
This movie was the shit
Sorry your name is “SIAH the swords men” not “this movie
I remember watching this movie hundreds of times when I was a kid and loving it. Finally someone talks about it.
P.S.: I remember being "not able to sleep" scared of the vampire joker. No reason why, but "the joker but vampire" is a concept that broke kid me.
Bro I just found this channel and so far I love everything you do with these videos what a viewer friendly channel ❤️🔥
haha that editing is phenomenal. Excellent stuff. Subbed.
Can u review the Spider-Man 2000s trilogy please?
Sure, at some point!
@@Browntable Can't wait!
Peter Parker I saw you from channel pup
I remember watching this with a babysitter when I was a child and was terrified. I tried rewatching it again when I was 12 and was still uncomfortable. I just fully watched it for the first time. I’m glad someone is talking about it
Great video again! I'm working my way through BTAS and the rest of the DCAU, but this show and movie might have to be my next stop before Brave and the Bold
I know you were just blabbering in the outro but i find it so funny. I like your channel.
this movie is just something special just the vibe and the feel it has is so perfect...theres so much happening in the movie but its just made so perfectly
I remember watching this a lot as a kid. I'll try rewtaching it to see if it's still as great as I remember.
Great vid by the way!
I watched this on Sunday after finishing the series and having a bad day after filming for my short film didn’t work out. It was a great way to make my day better.
Fun fact: In the same year this movie came out, Peter Stormare portrays Satan in another DC property film, Constantine.
I remember owning the VHS of this and watching this like almost everyday. One of my favourites with one of the most Iconic moments when he does the pose at the end of the movie when defeating Dracula.
Thanks soo much for bringing this movie into the limelight! I absolutely love the ominous and dark tone of this movie combined with its art Style and ambiance.
Wow, I was interested in series after your last video, and I had seen view scenes from the movie, but this video, this just maked my HUNGRY, HUNGRY FOR MORE THE BATMAN...🦇
I’m glad someone is talking about this film and appreciates it as much as I do
I remember vividly as a kid seeing this show twice. My cousin and I always looked for it to air on tv, and everytime they played it, it always scared but it’s still one of my favorite animated movies.
Loved this series and film, kudos here & checking out your series trailer now!
your ad @ the beginning really made me think I missed a scene in this movie 😂😭
Man this movie holds a special place in my heart. I remember recording on a VHS when I was a kid, I used to rewatch it all the time. Good memories.
