This series would be so much more interesting if that dumbass trope wasn’t the case here, like if the heroes who turned had to struggle with bloodthirst and the pain of killing friends and fellow heroes, but alas, it isn’t that at all. Dramatic Irony: In his backstory, Dick Grayson is betrayed by his own sister and gets turned into a vampire, just like later down the road, he himself will betray his own family to try to turn them. Volume 2 tells three simultaneous stories: Barbara Gordon leading a team into Gotham to take out Dick Grayson, Steel and Black Manta escorting a powerless Supergirl to Australia where she can attempt to breach the atmosphere and be recharged by the sun, and Green Arrow infiltrating a human blood farm to save as many human slaves as possible.

Compared to that series DC vs Vampires is less well made, particularly in the world building aspect. He is the co-creator of THE NICE HOUSE ON THE LAKE with Alvaro Martinez Bueno, the apocalyptic horror series published by DC Black Label.

It's exactly what you think: Vampires infect all the bad guys, who then start infecting the good guys.

I’m happy with DC doing more standalone books like this (Alfred’s alive once again so this is outside the current canon), particularly as I don’t give a fig for canon anyway, and it allows for more freedom in storytelling.Hal and how he takes out the threats to the vampires and particularly Barry who was one of his best friends and ahh that's sad and then the stuff with Diana, fighting JL members and all and confronting them and then throwing the suspicion on Batman and also Ollie being involved and his fight with Batman was so funny, I like how these two team up and are essentially the leads on this case.

The 12-issues series is coming from Matthew Rosenberg and Otto Schmidt, and will release sometime in 2024. All-Out War would rather focus on the lives of those left to fight and survive in the aftermath of war. Now they have to fend off a vampire invasion while figuring out who they can trust among them – anyone could secretly be a vampire. When Bruce pleads innocence and accuses Hal of doing it, saying he can prove it with files he's got on his computer, Hal counters Batman's perfectly capable of faking evidence.It’s like that one episode of He-man where they blocked a big volcano to create a permanent cloud cover. By the end of the "fight", Bruce only landed a single hit by using holy water when she was about to turn him and can barely stand on his own. One of the last secret, underground human cities is facing total annihilation and its leader-John Constantine-must plan a suicide mission to assassinate a key lieutenant in the vampire empire! This "survivors trapped/living in hiding" type of narrative is very well used, how they are surviving feels very believable.

Here they really try, and work at getting you to believe that Barbara Gordon is heart broken over what has happened with Dick Grayson.

Due to this, the creators can do things you wouldn’t be able to do normally – such as turn heroes into vampires. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have a vampire fetish or NEED to see the DC Universe interacting with vampires. I’ve watched many vampire films of varying quality; some I have liked, but the vampire aspect isn’t scary.
