Funny / DC vs. Vampires

Go To

  • Combined with Nightmare Fuel, but Vampire Hal Jordan trapping Zan of the Wonder Twins in a blender energy contruct and liquifying him to eat him as a smoothie is darkly hilarious.
    Hal Jordan: Hmm... A bit watery.
  • Hal seems to revel in the brutality that comes with being a monstrous vampire, to the point that when he kills Anton Arcane by ripping his spine off even his vampire master seems unnerved.
  • As Batman has his partners holding crosses, silver, drink tea made with holy water and more (to make sure they haven't been turned), Damian dryly tells the rest of the Bat-Family to "stop acting so shocked I keep passing the tests."
  • After the tests, Alfred comes behind Bruce and starts sipping the tea, making sure Bruce hears to prove he's not a vampire, noting that Bruce leaving him out is surely just an oversight on his part. Bruce thanks him and nonchalantly says that he had their boiler blessed the night before, so if Alfred had been a vampire he would had burned to death during his evening bath.
    Alfred Pennyworth: Oh. How... Thoughtful.
  • Again, played for Black Comedy, but after a tense and heartbreaking scene in which Hal tearfully kills Barry because the vampires don't think it's wise to turn him, seeing him practically appoint himself as the leader of the investigation while pointing the rest of the League towards obviously (to the reader) false clues in front of Barry's still fresh corpse is darkly hilarious:
  • A vampirized Wonder Woman holds Batman in place with her Lasso of Truth and asks him if he's ever dreamt about becoming a vampire, something Batman admits he has. Diana's "I knew it" combined with the fact that a lot of other people seemed to think Batman was always a vampire makes it seem like that was actual gossip thrown around at the Hall of Justice.
  • Bane and Batwoman argue about who'd built a Blood Farm next to an amusement park and, even though they live in a dystopic Alternate Universe, this exchange happens:
    Batwoman: Who builds a a Blood Farm next to an amusement park?
    Batwoman: That's fair.
  • Midnighter versus Prometheus. As both have technology in their heads that analyzes the situation to show their user how the battle will go, their fight consists of the world's most intense staring contest, as their computers analyze each other simulating every possibly outcome. Once Midnighter's shown to be just so much better, Prometheus' just gives up. Violently.
    Mary Bromfield: ...I have questions.
  • Steel succesfully resucitates a depowered Supergirl after she almost drowns when trying to reach the Australian coast. When she wakes up she's understandably panicked, but somehow Steel's answer doesn't sound all that reasuring.
    Supergirl: Am I dead?!
    Steel: No. You're in Australia.
  • In what has to be the mother of all awkward elevator moments, Vampire Wonder Woman brings Barbara Gordon and Harley Quiin to the Throne Room in Wayne Tower. They take the elevator:
    Harley Quinn: She's making me nervous.
    Wonder Woman: (with a cute smile on her face) If I wanted you dead, I would have killed you before you saw me.
    Harley Quinn: Saying stuff like that isn't really helping.
    • For bonus points, Barbara is in the middle completely unfazed by their conversation.
