In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places—some that have existed, or might have existed, and others that can’t, couldn’t or shouldn’t exist.

The result: heroes you know…in worlds you don’t.

Gotham City is caught in a vortex of corruption and decay, and those who feed on blood and despair are about to suck any remaining life from her dying veins.


All that stands against them is the Batman, their legendary companion in the darkness—the last line of defense between the innocent and the screaming chaos of mindless appetite.

To combat this primeval threat, however, the Dark Knight must give up everything he holds dear, including life itself—for death is only the first step towards thefinal reckoning between good and evil.

Written by DOUG MOENCH and illustrated in full gothic glory by KELLEY JONES, JOHN BEATTY and MALCOLM JONES III, ELSEWORLDS: BATMAN VOLUME TWO gives free rein to the darker side of the World’s Greatest Detective, collecting BATMAN & DRACULA: RED RAIN, BATMAN: BLOODSTORM, and BATMAN: CRIMSON MIST.
