Batman towers over a castle on the cover of Detective Comics #31 (1939).
The Big Picture With Batman: Caped Crusader, Prime Video has proven that they too can tell notable superhero stories through animation with characters as popular as Batman himself. But what makes Caped Crusader especially notable is the way the animated series portrays its villains. Layered and complex, full of inner turmoil, rage, and a desire to take what they cannot have, Batman's rogues have always been the most iconic in all comic books, DC or otherwise.
In this Golden Age story, the Monk is described as both a vampire and a werewolf and hopes to create an army of werewolf women at his disposal. Batman gets involved only after the Monk — dressed in his red hooded garb with a skull and crossbones symbol on his forehead — sets his hypnotic sights on Bruce Wayne's love-interest and one-time fiancé, Julie Madison. As the Monk kidnaps Julie and takes her to his homeland of Hungary, Batman pursues the fiend.
Other incarnations of Batman, such as Kevin Conroy's from Batman: The Animated Series and Rino Romano's from The Batman, have done well when facing supernatural opponents. Heck, the latter even starred in The Batman vs Dracula, an animated feature that pits the Dark Knight not only against all of literature's most famous vampires, but also against a vampire Joker, and other undead acolytes .
