I love the weapon of choice for taking out Batman: a bat.

Before the advent of motorized transport, an officer’s batman was also in charge of the officer’s “bat-horse” that carried the officer’s kit during a campaign.

It’s quite likely that Alfred was a Batman before Batman was.

This comic makes me think that the “Batman vs Dracula” story might have been about a property line dispute.

I don’t get it.

Harley Quinn hits Dracula with a bat. Vampires can turn into bats. I guess you could say Dracula is a “bat man”. Bruce Wayne lives in a mansion.

Is this just a pun on “bat man”? What am I missing?

Reading this comment is like watching someone pick out a needle from a needle stack and toss it aside to keep looking for a needle.

vampire turns into bat. he is a bat-man.

Quinn and joker want to beat up BatMan. The superhero.

They accidentally beat up bat-man. Not BatMan

Batman and Dracula are characters that share a nocturnal bat related identity and are also wealthy recluses with mansions. So yeah, that’s pretty much the joke. Whoops Harley and the Joker got them confused.
