The Batman vs. Dracula
What's the Story?
When the Joker and the Penguin escape from Arkham Asylum, they have big plans. However, Batman is on their tail, and another character enters the mix to maximize chaos -- the one and only Dracula.
Is It Any Good?
This dark, disturbing animated movie is probably best for teen fans of this intense franchise. It's atmospheric, pretty violent, and suspenseful, but not all that fast-paced. The voice acting by veterans Strong and Stormare do elevate it, but there's nothing super-special about this superhero special.
