History YMMV / TheBatmanVsDracula

* CriticalResearchFailure: In this movie, {{Dracula}} had a bride at one point named Carmilla, which is actually the name of a ''lesbian'' vampire. Justified though, as the movie implies that she is NOT supposed to be that Camilla since she does NOT act, think, or even look like the other Carmilla and thus the two are separate characters.

-->'''Vampire!Joker:''' Batsy… ''You complete me''.

* SympathyForTheDevil: It's hard not to feel bad for Vampire!Joker after Batman brings him back to the Batcave, where he starts going through what [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything basically amounts to withdrawal symptoms due to his compulsive need to feed.]] Batman feels sorry enough for him to give him a few bags of his own blood to sustain him.

** This wouldn't be [[Film/TheDarkKnight the last time]] the Joker told Batman "[[Film/JerryMaguire You complete me]]."

* OlderThanTheyThink: ''Much, much'' older. One of the earliest ever Franchise/{{Batman}} villains was actually a vampire called "The Monk", whose debut and storyline was in 1939, soon after Batman's debut, and nearly a year before even ComicBook/TheJoker's debut. On top of that, there was the theatrical yet unauthorized 1968 Filipino comedy film, ''Batman Fights Dracula'', which is now sadly lost.

* MagnificentBastard: {{Dracula}} himself is a dastardly charming creature of the night who seeks to conquer Gotham and resurrect the love of his life, Camilla Karnstein. Immediately turning several people to his zombie slaves upon being accidentally revived, Dracula secretly spreads his army by luring various people into traps that allow him to increase his vampiric zombie numbers. Turning [[ComicBook/ThePenguin Penguin]] into a guide and servant, infiltrating an upper class party under the guise of "Dr. Alucard," and decimating an entire squad of police, Dracula bests even Batman in combat near-effortlessly, outdoing the Dark Knight's anti-vampire tactics with ease. After using Joker as a distraction so he can kidnap Vicki Vale as a sacrifice to resurrect Camilla, Dracula hopes once more be united with his lover and together rule over Gotham as a dark king and queen.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: While still made for general audiences, the movie is considerably darker and bloodier than the ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' series its based on. Toonami even mistakenly gave it a TV-Y7 rating during its first airing and only later upgraded it to a (much better fitting) TV-PG. I mean, we see Penguin bleeding on Dracula’s shrivelled-up body for crying out loud...

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: While definitely lighter in tone than the later [[WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies DCUAOM]] movies and is still for general audiences, the fact that it was based on (the lighter and softer) ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' caused Toonami to mistakenly give it a TV-Y7 rating during its first airing and only later upgrading it to a (much better fitting) TV-PG.
