Vampire Batman is an alternate version of Batman from DC Comics, originating from an alternate universe where he was bitten by a vampire. He was featured on the pilot episode of Battle Royale Bonus, where he was pitted against Zombie Spider-Man from Marvel Comics. He was voiced by Valentine "Viewtiful Valentine" Stokes.

History[]

Bruce Wayne's life started much like his mainline universe's counterpart, with his grief over his dead parents turning into a drive to protect his city, until one night, when investigating a string of cutthroat murders, he discovered that the culprit wasn't exactly human - and in fact related to the one and only Dracula. As Bruce was sleeping, a vampire rebelling against Dracula named Tanya came into his room and bit him. After Bruce woke up and discovered his new vampire powers, they agreed to team up to take down Dracula.
