I love that Joker too!!!! With that said, I've gotta disagree with your opinion on the Penguin. Sure his hat's waaaaay too big, but Tom Kenny's Penguin voice somehow managed to be exactly the way I imagined the Penguin to sound when reading the character in comic books.
i honestly imagine the same kind of voice for penguin, but maybe another actor who dosnt trigger blind rage in me like tom Kenny, nothing against the guy, he's nice, but his voices piss me off
Tom Kenny’s Penguin voice, especially his laugh, was paying homage to the late great Burgess Meredith, who played Penguin in the 1960s Adam West Batman series.
Lol I like the penguin too, but is it just me or does he look different in this movie, in the tv show for example episode 2 season 1 he was much father and his face wasn’t as weird, anyway I preferred that version of penguin much more, and if there’s something else I should change about him I would stop him from saying “tweeth tweeth” that shit is just annoying for some reason
@@Jackie-McCann I mean, the laugh, okay, but MOST of the performance sounds less like an impression of either Meredith on that show (definitely not) or even DeVito (closer, but still a little off if that's what he's going for) and more like he's about to complain about cheap walk cycles. And, understand, I'm someone who finds some bits of Kenny's Penguin (especially the Kabuki twins/the whole "kind of a weeb" angle) pretty fun twists on the idea of a "delusions of eloquence" villain, even if the Paul Williams version is still king.
Both are good in they're own right Kevin Conroy was the second or third Animated Batman after Olan Soule and the Bright Knight Adam West, Rino Romano does a good job filling the Cape and Cowl, I'm just glad BATFLECK'S gone.
Sadly, I didn’t grow up with the show because it was on a channel I didn’t have at the time as a kid. Luckily, I was able to watch BvD movie every October on Cartoon Network during their Friday Flicks when the channel was still good. I never knew the movie was connected to a tv show until about middle school. I have forgotten about the show for many years until about a year ago when I found the complete series at Target. I’ve been watching it ever since. 20 years and “The Batman” still holds up.
Nice to meet another fan of this version of Joker, who I agree is criminally underrated. I always loved his unique design, and Kevin Michael Richardson did a great job voicing him. You can just tell he was having a lot of fun with the role.
It's good to know that someone else likes this version of the Joker. While he's not as good as the BTAS Joker, he still has a very unique design and Kevin Michael Richardson really did good job with his deep yet whimsical voice. Also, vampire Joker was definitely the best thing in the movie.
+Bobsheaux hey Bob I'd like to ask if you would consider reviewing The Batman series I want to know your opinions on some of the other changes they made like giant mutant Killer Moth
Bobsheaux In the Hammer Horror Dracula series, all he needed was blood to be revived. At the start of Scars of Dracula, he was resurrected inside a church with a drop of blood
@@Bobsheaux 12:29-12:32 I see not much in Batman mask of the phantasm but in Batman returns yes it does have that sorta thing but it's in the bad way compare to the Batman vs dracula
honestly i dont hate tom kenny as a person, i met him once and he was nice, signed my sisters spoungebob barbie doll, but what i hate is his voice acting resume, just about everyone he voiced managed to piss me off somehow
Not to mention other characters like Professor Sumdac in Transformers Animated, Eduardo in Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, Scout Master Lumpus & Sliinkman in Camp Lazlo, Dr. Two-Brains in Word Girl, and Gibson in Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go. Dude has lots of range than just sounding like SpongeBob
This movie creates their own version of Dracula, just as many, many movies do. Dracula never had a wife in Bram Stoker's novel, nor was he killed by a stake to the heart. So why should all of his restrictions be the same as the novel in this movie?
There's a scene in the movie in which I think Vicki mentions Budapest but that city is not in Transylvania, it is in Hungary...in fact it is Hungary's capital city. The writers might have been referring to Bucharest which is the capital of Romania but Bucharest is also not in Transylvania. Transylvania is a far-away province in Romania with its own distinct culture and people...in fact it used to be part of the Hungarian kingdom.
I think it's kinda funny that Bruce is supposed to be scared of bats in some incarnations, so I'm just picturing him screaming like a little girl when Dracula goes into bat form.
Hey Bob you mentioned that Penguin was one of the problems that you found with The Batman but , what were the other problems that you had? and how well do you think the other villian's were treated? Also I agree the Joker in this great, especially his unique design.
This is perfect for Halloween. There was also a trilogy of Batman Elsewords books called "Red Rain", "Bloodstorm", and "Crimson Mist" which involved Batman fighting Dracula and in order to defeat him had to become a vampire as well.
The Batman was one of my top 3 favorite animated shows related to Batman since childhood. The story, characters and action sequences were so good. Also I would loved to see the Wonder Woman and Aquaman of that show.
I watched this film as a Dracula movie, more than a Batman movie. It touched upon all the vampire tropes perfectly. Even if Dracula looks like Ra's al Ghul, they wanted to evoke a sense of Christopher Lee or Bela Lugosi when he was onscreen. I'm content in how they attempted that.
You're not supposed to wear shoes or gloves while doing parkour because you need to have a sense for texture. A good example I once read in a forum was a thin layer of polin on a surface, because the guy wasn't wearing gloves he was able to pick up on it and adjust his grip to compensate, but if he had been wearing gloves he probably would be dead, the same applies to feet for exactly the same reasons, but also your feet have a greater ability to conform and grip without shoes on. The Joker's fingerless gloves and shoes aren't a statement about how little he cares about getting caught or a sign of how batshit he is (no pun intended), but a functional choice that the writers/artists probably took into consideration when developing this version of the character.
As good as it was, I would like an actual adaptation of the Vampire Batman stories. Trouble is that it's far more violent and bloodier than this, especially the third and final story: Crimson Mist (aka Batman Kills the DC Universe). And I highly doubt DC would want an M-rated/18 animated film anytime soon. But since they're working Gotham By Gaslight, there's always a chance DC might adapt other Elseworlds stories.
Great review. I liked the show when I was a kid and I REALLY thought that Batman vs Dracula was an awesome idea. Also... HOW COULD YOU HATE SPONGEBOB!?!
@@ellnats Yes I did. I watched the ENTIRE show and loved it. It was very different compared to the 90s cartoon and was pretty bold. A lot of stuff in it was very frightening to young kids, even creeped me out when I was that young, and I will still love this show even years after it was released.
Actually in a lot of vampire fiction Dracula is exempt from some of the more peripheral weaknesses, seeing as he's often considered the first of all vampires (depending on myth since certain Biblical figures like Lilith (from Judaism) and even Judas Iscariot are sometimes associated with vampires among other monsters), meaning he's often considered the most powerful and therefore lacks certain weaknesses.
Well to be fair, this direct to DVD is a bit interesting than the other Kids Vampire flick, so yeah I don't understand the hate with The Batman. I thought it was fine. Except: They got the history of Vlad wrong, but still that seems to be the reoccurring theme with Dracula related films, so for this flick, I'll be a little forgiving...Because fuck it! Anyone who can make a Vampiric Joker, and say they drink blood, then I think they're awesome!
This is actually my favorite batman movie animation is great also the series of it was pretty good it's basically an updated version of the 90's version
4:235:305:4514:1819:32 Joker...................... my longtime nemesis and polar opposite Woah woah woah woah, I'll have you know, sir. I am a Cornwell, and Cornwells do not serve! Also, Bobsheaux, WAY TO PISS ON MY CHILDHOOD! A bold finish of wild cherries with a hint of oak (burps) I love the song at the end 🔥 my favorite Batman movie 🎬
People hated this show? Why? The only thing I didn't like about this show is that they didn't include Two-face. I actually recall seeing this movie on CartoonNetwork a few years back.
+Akaaraq Hansen if you think about it this is the only time you see Vicki vale in batman vs Dracula hinting she was only put in the film to be saved by the batman
9:12 has it occurred to you that Bruce is 12? Another question, did it also occur to you that what ever was on the computer got his father killed? Bruce wasn't, at that point, ready to take this on, Alfred in this wouldn't destroy it because Bruce is Batman, whereas he's very likely to get himself killed doing this. In that very season, Bruce was also; Kidnapped; attacked in his house multiple times; had to go on an espionage mission in Arkham to save his friend; encountered a man who was brought back from the dead; met a woman who had a bird claw for a hand; could've been frozen to death; had to join in with rescuing that same woman from a prison transport truck; and several other things that likely had something to do with his investigation. And that's just season 2.
As far as I can tell, the batwave monitors police bands and coordinates the various automated bat vehicles/tools. It doesn’t monitor everything the way that the cell phone system does, from what I can tell.
In the comics, joker is immune to hypnosis, mind control, psychic attacks, etc. Because of his super sanity, so perhaps that’s why he is affected differently than the other vampiric victims
So... Is Bram Stoker’s Dracula canon in this world? Wait, in the book he only lost his powers in sunlight, he wasn’t burned... Interestingly, the sunlight thing was added in the German Silent Film Nosferatu, I guess because because a stake to the heart would be too graphic for 1922.
I actually remember watching this movie every few nights with my sisters for our “sleepovers”. The funny thing is, for years I thought this was the Batman TAS Batman as I think we also watched Batman Sub-Zero and the movies melded in my child mind. I didn’t even know this was the movie until the montage of Batman trying to find a cure, as that scene led to an argument with my dad about whether or not it would hurt to have blood drawn because I tried to use that montage as evidence for my case.
It's sad to hear that you didn't like the Penguin. Frankly, I've always felt that this show had one of the very best versions of Penguin that there's ever been.
Hey Bob I Don't Know If You'll See This, But i Just Wanted To say, that i love your videos, and your one of my favorite reviews on RUclips, You Are One Of My Insperations For Me To Review Movies On RUclips, You Always Put A Smile On My Face, Even On My Bad, Days But Anyway i'll don't know if you'll see this, but if you do, thanks and have a great day ;) Colton
AAH MY FAVOURITE BATMAN SHOOOW, aw man Vampire Joker was the SHIIIITTTT. Oh and those creepy ass bird lady twins penguin always had with him, Ragdoll, Fireflies design, this Batman show was my absolute favourite growing up, i always stopped everything i was doing to watch an episode,
and who perchance is Dracula trying to revive? Carmilla, you know the originated the LESBIAN Vampire trope. I guess this movie implies Carmilla was a bisexual vampire? Plus I like how Vickie doesn't scream her head off in the climax she just runs and takes cover no prompting necessary. It's refreshing to see a damsel in distress who doesn't scream her head off when in danger.
2:54 Probably because one of these batman movies fell after the Patriot Act. 18:21 considering that the 'cause' of the missing victims was hypnosis, and The Penguin was found in roughly the same state (minus some neckholes and blood loss), I'm surprised the Mad Hatter wasn't blamed. I mean, granted, it's not like a bunch of hats were found, but still.
+Bobsheaux Well at least he showed up in the Arkham series. Granted, they're games...but his representation is magnificent! And, taking Suicide Squad into consideration, it might be interesting to see that one major arc he was in as a movie. (Can't remember the name...) I mean, he's gotten virtually everyone under his control at one point or another throughout the bat-verses.
The thing I have against fiction that involves Dracula is well... in the original book he shows up in.... he can't be killed by the sun. The sun just makes him a normal human with immense strength and I think he retains the ability to turn into mist
6:26 hmmm, interesting. Dracula’s castle in this film definitely resembles Dracula’s castle from Castlevania. Especially with the long spires on top of the cliffs with the full moon & blood red skies.
4:05 What's wrong with Tom Kenny? Granted, he's far from the best Penguin, that right belongs to a tie between Paul Williams of the original animated series and the 60's Burgess Meredith version. After all, you can never have too much Burgess Meredith. But as far as voices for characters goes and considering he was forced to play Spongebob for over a decade now...yeah of course his voice is going to sound somewhat similar with most of what he does.
I am soo glad you reviewed this movie! I freaking loved it, and I was a pretty big fan of the show back in the day. I will pick The Batman over Beware The Batman ANY DAY
I think that BTB was an okay show. Not bad, just okay. I didn't really like that despite being a "batman" show, the several episodes I saw focused more on Alfred and Kitana, who are both great characters, don't get me wrong on that point. To me, TB was just more fun to watch, I can't really put my finger on why. Maybe my opinion of BTB is lower because it was one of the shows which replaced the really awesome Green Lantern series and Young Justice (the other replacement show being Teen Titans Go! and the less I say about that, the better). TB has problems, there is no denying that, but I personally found it more interesting than BTB, and again like it was said already "To each his own".
I think this movie creates its own version of Dracula. The original Dracula had no aversion to sunlight but the ending of the movie clearly shows otherwise.
Wow. My first thought watching this review is, how can you afford to keep buying all these costumes? My second was, at 4:33 if it was already raining, wouldn't he have been electrocuted before he hit the water?
This is like a radically extreme Batman if it was released in the 1993. I think Batman Unlimited is the closest thing to The Batman without being radically extreme.
10:24 no, because If he did need to ask permission if he could come in. Anyone could say: no, and slam the door in his face. It’s a dumb weakness and most of the time it’s ignored in other movies. Who in the heck came up with that weakness? If we are going by mythology vampire, he would be weak too -sunlight - garlic - crosses -holy water - running water - stake through the heart - fire. But we the running water is stupid so we can take that out as his weakness and use the other ones. Reason being is that running water kinda ruins the holy water weakness if you could just kill him with regular water. Thats why we ignore and remove that one and why a lot of movies don’t use the running water weakness.
7:25 actually since penguin is a native of gotham city and his blood brought dracula to life the native soil location switched and so that dracula can survive outside Transylvania
I know the makers of The batman had plans to do a second movie of The Batman titled The Batman vs. Hush that featured Hush as the villain with Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler and Clayface in the film was planned, however the film was scrapped it make me wonder what we would of got had it happened
+Bobsheaux I know right? It's absolutely amazing, but dear GOD why is Alfred such a dick? Then again, this Bruce IS 10 so I can KINDA see why he'd be more of a spoilsport..........
I wished I watched this review earlier. Funny and thoughtful as always, Bob. Especially love the end credits... Joker’s Song by Miracle of Sound is my favorite song from the guy... second favorite being, of course, the recent Welcome to the Family from Resident EVII.
17:43 I’m the Batman. 17:49 they cut off the scene where Dracula burned alive in more than 5 seconds of the Batman vs Dracula 🧛🏻♂️ on 📀, however you can find the extended version of the same movie on max.
I can remember not really liking this series, but I did love this movie (mainly because I've always been batty for Dracula). Also anybody else think Drac in this film looks a little bit like Ra's Al Ghul? 12:20 I mean its kinda his own fault for dressing like a damn vampire.
Really? The Penguin doesn’t sound like Spongebob in this movie, if anything he sounds more like a high-pitched Ice King or a low-pitches Dr. Two-Brains, two other animated characters voiced by Tom Kenny. Look it up, I’m not lying or making this up, he really does voice these characters
When I was a kid this movie was the 2nd scariest movie I ever saw. The scariest movie was the original Poltergeist and both this movie and Poltergeist still scare the shit out of me. Just seeing Joker as a vampire scared me and I was unable to sleep. I'm shuddering just typing this comment.
Also, interesting note. the Joker here (and I'm guessing in The Batman as well) is played by the newly crowned king of deep-voiced roles, and one of my personal heroes, Kevin Michael Richardson.
I actually love the fact penguin is a big guy but can do big stunts and gymnastics. Also THE BATARANGS NO ALL OF BATMANS TECH WITH THAT BLUE LIGHT??? I MEAN CMON THATS COOL AFFFF
I love that Joker too!!!! With that said, I've gotta disagree with your opinion on the Penguin. Sure his hat's waaaaay too big, but Tom Kenny's Penguin voice somehow managed to be exactly the way I imagined the Penguin to sound when reading the character in comic books.
i honestly imagine the same kind of voice for penguin, but maybe another actor who dosnt trigger blind rage in me like tom Kenny, nothing against the guy, he's nice, but his voices piss me off

@@Jackie-McCann I mean, the laugh, okay, but MOST of the performance sounds less like an impression of either Meredith on that show (definitely not) or even DeVito (closer, but still a little off if that's what he's going for) and more like he's about to complain about cheap walk cycles. And, understand, I'm someone who finds some bits of Kenny's Penguin (especially the Kabuki twins/the whole "kind of a weeb" angle) pretty fun twists on the idea of a "delusions of eloquence" villain, even if the Paul Williams version is still king.
What an underrated series, I personally "The Batman" is unfairly compared to Batman:the animated series, nice to see another fan.
Both are good in they're own right Kevin Conroy was the second or third Animated Batman after Olan Soule and the Bright Knight Adam West, Rino Romano does a good job filling the Cape and Cowl, I'm just glad BATFLECK'S gone.
They are both good just for different reasons
I prefer this one
Yeah at least this one didn’t have a massive design change
Sadly, I didn’t grow up with the show because it was on a channel I didn’t have at the time as a kid. Luckily, I was able to watch BvD movie every October on Cartoon Network during their Friday Flicks when the channel was still good.

Same.
It's good to know that someone else likes this version of the Joker. While he's not as good as the BTAS Joker, he still has a very unique design and Kevin Michael Richardson really did good job with his deep yet whimsical voice.
Also, vampire Joker was definitely the best thing in the movie.
Gator Shark08 i think this is The best joker
The coffin was made from wood taken from the trees of his home land??..
Thats my theory at least..
+Dana Gomez Hmmm.... Interesting variation on the idea, especially if he's being hidden in HOLY ground...
+Bobsheaux hey Bob I'd like to ask if you would consider reviewing The Batman series I want to know your opinions on some of the other changes they made like giant mutant Killer Moth
that or he used an insurance policy and put dirt in a hidden compartment in his coffin

13:51 I just love Penguin's expression here. He knows Joker's having a bad time but he sure as Hell not helping him!
Tom Kenny doesn't always sound like Spongebob. Look at Star Wars The Clone Wars for instance. He voiced Nute Gunray who sounds nothing like Spongebob.
and Adventure time with Wander over Yander.
honestly i dont hate tom kenny as a person, i met him once and he was nice, signed my sisters spoungebob barbie doll, but what i hate is his voice acting resume, just about everyone he voiced managed to piss me off somehow
He was a good voice for Starscream, too.
@@ellnats watch Shakes The Clown ,that's probably his best film
Not to mention other characters like Professor Sumdac in Transformers Animated, Eduardo in Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, Scout Master Lumpus & Sliinkman in Camp Lazlo, Dr. Two-Brains in Word Girl, and Gibson in Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go. Dude has lots of range than just sounding like SpongeBob
This movie creates their own version of Dracula, just as many, many movies do. Dracula never had a wife in Bram Stoker's novel, nor was he killed by a stake to the heart. So why should all of his restrictions be the same as the novel in this movie?
And they probably sent him away so none of his servant can reach him, or just so he doesn't cause more trouble to Transylvania.
Glad I'm not the only one that loves the Joker's design in this show. It's so crazy yet so fitting.
Jester joker!
Crazy and Joker go together like clouds and the sky.
There's a scene in the movie in which I think Vicki mentions Budapest but that city is not in Transylvania, it is in Hungary...in fact it is Hungary's capital city. The writers might have been referring to Bucharest which is the capital of Romania but Bucharest is also not in Transylvania.

The Joker's fingerless gloves and shoes aren't a statement about how little he cares about getting caught or a sign of how batshit he is (no pun intended), but a functional choice that the writers/artists probably took into consideration when developing this version of the character.
But also maybe the first option as well
tom kenny sounds more like his ice king than SpongeBob!!
4:57 Well, this wasn't the first time The Joker died from electricity. Remember Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker?
Didn't he got impaled by a flag?
He did in the uncut version. In the edited version he got shocked.
JustSmokingShrooms Tim killed him
As good as it was, I would like an actual adaptation of the Vampire Batman stories. Trouble is that it's far more violent and bloodier than this, especially the third and final story: Crimson Mist (aka Batman Kills the DC Universe).

“I hate spongebob” me: HEAVY BREATHING😤
Dracula wanted a Human sacrifice to bring his deceased wife?
“We think we’re dealing with a supernatural being, most likely a mummy!”
Great review. I liked the show when I was a kid and I REALLY thought that Batman vs Dracula was an awesome idea.
Also... HOW COULD YOU HATE SPONGEBOB!?!
did you see the show after the first movie?
@@ellnats Yes I did. I watched the ENTIRE show and loved it. It was very different compared to the 90s cartoon and was pretty bold. A lot of stuff in it was very frightening to young kids, even creeped me out when I was that young, and I will still love this show even years after it was released.
"This series is just begging for a werewolf movie."
"A warwilf?"
So... did Batman kill Dracula? I guess he was technically undead so it doesn't count?
Strangely, this isn't the first time Batman has fought a vampire.
Actually in a lot of vampire fiction Dracula is exempt from some of the more peripheral weaknesses, seeing as he's often considered the first of all vampires (depending on myth since certain Biblical figures like Lilith (from Judaism) and even Judas Iscariot are sometimes associated with vampires among other monsters), meaning he's often considered the most powerful and therefore lacks certain weaknesses.
Good thing for Gotham Vicki didn't become a vampire. Last time she was on Penguin's side, things didn't work out for them
Good one. xD

People hated this show? Why? The only thing I didn't like about this show is that they didn't include Two-face. I actually recall seeing this movie on CartoonNetwork a few years back.
Their treatment of Clayface was really good!!
No, people did enjoy this show, it is because of how cartoony it is (like Teen Titans: The Animated Series) and the art style.
Bob needs to get Adventure Time on his channel if he wants some good Tom Kenny.
I love how angry penguin is when his new "Partner" tells penguin that he told joker about the loot.
I think we can all agree that batman bobsheaux is the best bobsheaux
+Harley Quinn Please hold all opinions until after the FINAL episode of Bosheauxween '15. >;) lol
+Bobsheaux This movie does not follow the novels continuity, Dracula is not killed by sunlight.
+Bobsheaux Just wondering what cowl are you wearing big fan by the way?
Wow, do I feel stupid. I never even noticed how much Vicki Vale was screaming in the Tim Burton film.
+Akaaraq Hansen if you think about it this is the only time you see Vicki vale in batman vs Dracula hinting she was only put in the film to be saved by the batman
The Penguin sounds a lot like the Ice King from Adventure Time more then SpongeBob
There was actually a comic call Batman VS Dracula.

Wait, in the book he only lost his powers in sunlight, he wasn’t burned... Interestingly, the sunlight thing was added in the German Silent Film Nosferatu, I guess because because a stake to the heart would be too graphic for 1922.
What song is this at the end?
Oh my god.
I think I remember watching The Batman back when Boomerang aired it.

I actually remember watching this movie every few nights with my sisters for our “sleepovers”. The funny thing is, for years I thought this was the Batman TAS Batman as I think we also watched Batman Sub-Zero and the movies melded in my child mind. I didn’t even know this was the movie until the montage of Batman trying to find a cure, as that scene led to an argument with my dad about whether or not it would hurt to have blood drawn because I tried to use that montage as evidence for my case.
I'd love to see a review on Batmam: Bad Blood
It's sad to hear that you didn't like the Penguin. Frankly, I've always felt that this show had one of the very best versions of Penguin that there's ever been.
The Penguin Is So Cute, He Even Has My Hair Color
Hey Bob I Don't Know If You'll See This, But i Just Wanted To say, that i love your videos, and your one of my favorite reviews on RUclips, You Are One Of My Insperations For Me To Review Movies On RUclips, You Always Put A Smile On My Face, Even On My Bad, Days But Anyway i'll don't know if you'll see this, but if you do, thanks and have a great day ;)
Colton
didn't tom kenny voice ice king?
Alternative title for this movie:
Battle of the Bats
The guy who voices batman here also voiced Spider-man.
He was also Eduardo on _Extreme Ghostbusters._
AAH MY FAVOURITE BATMAN SHOOOW, aw man Vampire Joker was the SHIIIITTTT. Oh and those creepy ass bird lady twins penguin always had with him, Ragdoll, Fireflies design, this Batman show was my absolute favourite growing up, i always stopped everything i was doing to watch an episode,
SpongeBobsheaux confirmed?
and who perchance is Dracula trying to revive? Carmilla, you know the originated the LESBIAN Vampire trope. I guess this movie implies Carmilla was a bisexual vampire? Plus I like how Vickie doesn't scream her head off in the climax she just runs and takes cover no prompting necessary. It's refreshing to see a damsel in distress who doesn't scream her head off when in danger.
2:54 Probably because one of these batman movies fell after the Patriot Act.
18:21 considering that the 'cause' of the missing victims was hypnosis, and The Penguin was found in roughly the same state (minus some neckholes and blood loss), I'm surprised the Mad Hatter wasn't blamed. I mean, granted, it's not like a bunch of hats were found, but still.
+Atem Andrew Oh, the Mad Hatter... When will we get to see HIM in a movie?
+Bobsheaux Well at least he showed up in the Arkham series. Granted, they're games...but his representation is magnificent!
And, taking Suicide Squad into consideration, it might be interesting to see that one major arc he was in as a movie. (Can't remember the name...) I mean, he's gotten virtually everyone under his control at one point or another throughout the bat-verses.
I like that version of Penguin, and this show rocked! I bought that movie because I loved it so much!
He Has My Hair Color
I just bought it and this will be my 23 time watching it, i couldent find it all those years but now it's finally the time to put it to my collection.
Forget information from anime or son of dracula, isn't he world's greatest detective? He should easily know that Alucard is Dracula backwards
Well this Penguin was still good
The thing I have against fiction that involves Dracula is well... in the original book he shows up in.... he can't be killed by the sun. The sun just makes him a normal human with immense strength and I think he retains the ability to turn into mist
I think this Alfred is the only Alistair Duncan voiced character who I don't want to rip their heart out of.
6:26 hmmm, interesting. Dracula’s castle in this film definitely resembles Dracula’s castle from Castlevania. Especially with the long spires on top of the cliffs with the full moon & blood red skies.
is it me or does this Dracula look more like Ra's Al Ghul?
Now that you mention it... Yeah, he does look quite a bit like Ra's.
He looks a little bit like Ra's al Ghul. How old were you when you watched it in 2005?
It makes me laugh so hard that the penguin sounds like the ice king in this!
4:05 What's wrong with Tom Kenny? Granted, he's far from the best Penguin, that right belongs to a tie between Paul Williams of the original animated series and the 60's Burgess Meredith version. After all, you can never have too much Burgess Meredith. But as far as voices for characters goes and considering he was forced to play Spongebob for over a decade now...yeah of course his voice is going to sound somewhat similar with most of what he does.
7:18
I mean, the coffin is probably made out of wood from his homeland.
So they unintentionally sent him off with something from his homeland.
I am soo glad you reviewed this movie! I freaking loved it, and I was a pretty big fan of the show back in the day. I will pick The Batman over Beware The Batman ANY DAY
What's so bad about Beware The Batman? It's awesome and it's one of the best batman cartoons.
I think that BTB was an okay show. Not bad, just okay. I didn't really like that despite being a "batman" show, the several episodes I saw focused more on Alfred and Kitana, who are both great characters, don't get me wrong on that point. To me, TB was just more fun to watch, I can't really put my finger on why. Maybe my opinion of BTB is lower because it was one of the shows which replaced the really awesome Green Lantern series and Young Justice (the other replacement show being Teen Titans Go! and the less I say about that, the better). TB has problems, there is no denying that, but I personally found it more interesting than BTB, and again like it was said already "To each his own".
I think this movie creates its own version of Dracula. The original Dracula had no aversion to sunlight but the ending of the movie clearly shows otherwise.
I honestly loved Batman vs Dracula
At the end creates, what is the name of that song? I love it, I want it too.

Wow. My first thought watching this review is, how can you afford to keep buying all these costumes? My second was, at 4:33 if it was already raining, wouldn't he have been electrocuted before he hit the water?
This is like a radically extreme Batman if it was released in the 1993. I think Batman Unlimited is the closest thing to The Batman without being radically extreme.
10:24 no, because If he did need to ask permission if he could come in. Anyone could say: no, and slam the door in his face. It’s a dumb weakness and most of the time it’s ignored in other movies. Who in the heck came up with that weakness? If we are going by mythology vampire, he would be weak too
-sunlight
- garlic
- crosses
-holy water
- running water
- stake through the heart
- fire.
But we the running water is stupid so we can take that out as his weakness and use the other ones. Reason being is that running water kinda ruins the holy water weakness if you could just kill him with regular water. Thats why we ignore and remove that one and why a lot of movies don’t use the running water weakness.
7:25 actually since penguin is a native of gotham city and his blood brought dracula to life the native soil location switched and so that dracula can survive outside Transylvania
I know the makers of The batman had plans to do a second movie of The Batman titled The Batman vs. Hush that featured Hush as the villain with Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler and Clayface in the film was planned, however the film was scrapped it make me wonder what we would of got had it happened
+comic book reviewer Hush was also going to appear in an episode of The Batman, but DC didn't like the idea for some reason.
+lightyearpig12 I guess They thought Hush would be to dark for The batman or something
9:09 Wait, what was that from?
+DWAkhaten1995 That's a scene from the new Gotham TV show, which I HIGHLY recommend, but... oh dear lord, do I HATE this new Alfred... X(
+Bobsheaux I know right? It's absolutely amazing, but dear GOD why is Alfred such a dick? Then again, this Bruce IS 10 so I can KINDA see why he'd be more of a spoilsport..........
I wished I watched this review earlier. Funny and thoughtful as always, Bob. Especially love the end credits... Joker’s Song by Miracle of Sound is my favorite song from the guy... second favorite being, of course, the recent Welcome to the Family from Resident EVII.
Is it me or is Arkham too dangerously close to Gotham?
It is unfortunately
And I'm the only one who loves The Penguin in this series.... ;_;
no your not! :)
+Racheal The Girl Robin ;u;
Waddle Dee pop WOW U REPLIED FAST
+Racheal The Girl Robin RUclips notifications on my phone heh
Waddle Dee pop 0_o
Just do The Room review already! It's a horror for all life!
Anyway, how's your sex life?
17:43 I’m the Batman. 17:49 they cut off the scene where Dracula burned alive in more than 5 seconds of the Batman vs Dracula 🧛🏻♂️ on 📀, however you can find the extended version of the same movie on max.
I can remember not really liking this series, but I did love this movie (mainly because I've always been batty for Dracula). Also anybody else think Drac in this film looks a little bit like Ra's Al Ghul?
12:20 I mean its kinda his own fault for dressing like a damn vampire.
How about The Batman vs. Frankenstein?
I'd totally replace Affleck with Bobsheaux for Batman, given half the chance. Who's with me?
+NumberNegativeZero I'd rather Bobsheaux replace Leto!
+Raven Fox Audio Either one is good. lol
+Bobsheaux No no no...Affleck MIGHT pull off Batman. Leto doesn't have a snowball's chance in HELL of being a credible Joker. They need you, baby!
@@RavenFoxAudio Affleck did nothing good for Batman or Bruce Wayne
Really? The Penguin doesn’t sound like Spongebob in this movie, if anything he sounds more like a high-pitched Ice King or a low-pitches Dr. Two-Brains, two other animated characters voiced by Tom Kenny. Look it up, I’m not lying or making this up, he really does voice these characters
After watching this movie, I kinda believe that Dracula was the first historical carnation of batman. But hey that's my opinion.
When I was a kid this movie was the 2nd scariest movie I ever saw. The scariest movie was the original Poltergeist and both this movie and Poltergeist still scare the shit out of me. Just seeing Joker as a vampire scared me and I was unable to sleep. I'm shuddering just typing this comment.
Kinda wish we got a “I’m Batman I am vengeance I am THE NIGHT AND YOUR dust” because Dracula stuck in Batman’s shadow is batman being the night
Why dose the Penguin have three digit hands
His design is partially inspired by Tim Burton's take on the Penguin.
Bobsheaux Oh that was part of it too. Thank you for replying to my comment
I forgot I saw this movie. It creeped me out when I was a kid
Bob how Many batman suits you have????👏🏻👏🏻
A little piece of trivia, there was also an Alucard from the Castlevania series.
Yep, Vampire Joker was the best part of this movie.
Also, interesting note. the Joker here (and I'm guessing in The Batman as well) is played by the newly crowned king of deep-voiced roles, and one of my personal heroes, Kevin Michael Richardson.
+joinmarch76 Actually, Bruce is voiced by the 90s animated Spider-Man, and Lone Starr from Spaceballs: The Animated Series. lol
+joinmarch76 Yeah I'm sorry I love him as an actor, but here he just does not fit.
I actually love the fact penguin is a big guy but can do big stunts and gymnastics. Also THE BATARANGS NO ALL OF BATMANS TECH WITH THAT BLUE LIGHT??? I MEAN CMON THATS COOL AFFFF
I like Tom Kenny as the Penguin
