Batman gets the upper hand on the vampires who have infiltrated the Justice League...but the Vampire King finally reveals himself, and it will be the most jaw-dropping moment of 2022! The shocking, bestselling series reaches its blood-drenched halfway point!
Prior to his first professional work, Tynion was a student of Scott Snyder's at Sarah Lawrence College. A few years later, he worked as for Vertigo as Fables editor Shelly Bond's intern. In late 2011, with DC deciding to give Batman (written by Snyder) a back up feature, Tynion was brought in by request of Snyder to script the back ups he had plotted. Tynion would later do the same with the Batman Annual #1, which was also co-plotted by Snyder. Beginning in September 2012, with DC's 0 issue month for the New 52, Tynion will be writing Talon, with art by Guillem March. In early 2013 it was announced that he'd take over writing duties for Red Hood and the Outlaws in April.
Tynion is also currently one of the writers in a rotating team in the weekly Batman Eternal series.
As always, a great issue. More deaths, more blood, more reveals. The ending is great to lead us past the halfway point and towards the finale. I don't want this series to end!!
Would have been 5 stars for me if not for two weird spots. How are Hal and Wonder Woman not screaming in excruciating pain, while they’re burning under the UV lights? Also, the Hal and Ollie having a heart to heart scene, while Hal was on fire was beyond ridiculous. Other than that the story and art were top notch.

Holy crap holy crap holy shit. This whole issue had me on the edge of my seat, can’t believe some of the turns they took like Dick being the leader of the vampires and killing Bruce.
I didn’t think they would kill Bruce off nor did I think they would kill Jason off!
Now it’s Ollie, Babs, Cass, Alfred, and Harley. (Idk if Roy and Dinah are still alive, I hope they are) I hope they can beat them

But how can Superman become a vampire when he gets his powers from the sun and can’t come out during the day? I mean if he were turned he would just be a vampire wearing Superman’s costume.😹
The vampires are coming out in full mass and the hero’s can’t stop them. I love a good surprise twist but this one was pushing it. Harley and batgirl definitely saved this issue for me but I can see people being annoyed with the art change. I don’t mind it but they are so different it’s hard to not notice. I really don’t know where this story is gonna go, and usually I don’t mind that but this pulls things out of a hat at I’m tired of rolling my eyes at it.
Wow - did not see this coming. Don't want to give away what happens here - but things are going to hit rock bottom. Batman (B) leads a team against Wonder Woman (WW) and Green Lantern (GL). As vampires GL and WW have the upper hand; they know their opponents well - but have no mercy for their now former friends. There is a shocking revelation in this issue - and a sacrifice that will change everything.
La portada me hacia pensar que Bárbara se convertiría en vampiro y traicionaría a la Bati Familia, pero no pensé que sería Dick, y menos que él es el rey de los vampiros??? Y qué hicieron con Starfire😭
Menciona que usa su sangre para parecer humano, ya que paso cada prueba que hizo Bruce
Además, ese panel en que ya sabemos que ha sido Dick el traicionero en cuánto Bárbara se comunica con Bruce y le dice que hay uno entre ellos... Dios, ¿estará muerto? Le penetro el corazón
First of all, look at that cover, is it not perfection? That's such a good cover! And this issue, oh my god, this issue. Yes. Like, this explains SO much. I'm not going to say I saw it coming, because I didn't, but I'm also not surprised, because looking back there was enough foreshadowing and I love that. This series is great.
The Vampire King has emerged. Ollie has difficult choices to make. Diana gets to show off the true strength of her newfound abilities. The BatFam is really put to task, and Alfred pulls through as always.
Do I LIKE seeing Dickie kill his family as he taunts them for being literally no challenge for him? Not really, but also kinda! I DO love that line of "I wanted at least one of my brothers to join me" like oh my gooddddd me too boy

3.5 stars. The inconsistent art is annoying. I love the slick visuals with Babs and Harley (cool team up, too), but the rest is often too blocky to enjoy. There's good story progression and twists, especially with the vampire king. Dude. I think I just changed sides. ;)
Up to now, I've felt this mini-series has been a mixed bag that's spun its wheels. This issue delivers big as it delivers touching character moments, exceptional revelations, and shows the Vampire King in all his vicious glory. An exceptional issue which ripped my heart out.
This story is goofy and weird as hell, MAN this was a fantastic issue!! I love how progressively insane this story has gotten up until this point. I am massively bias towards this issue in particular because nightwing is my favourite character and I LOVE seeing him as a villain, that was so cool man!! Hilarious, great action, fantastic reveal, overall just a super wild ride so far
Edit: I’m changing my 4 to a 5 because I can’t stop thinking about that one panel god damn 💅🏻💅🏻
