Wow this was so metal and I didn't expect the level of rogues gallery that happened in this book either. Also what a bleak ending! Overall really enjoyed it and the art style!

And yes, this has been really interesting. I also would like to highlight that the artwork was great.

Unrelenting conclusion to an epic story, as Batman is revived by his loyal butler Alfred in a desperate attempt to eradicate the scourges of Gotham City. Violent, brutal and out of control, Batman's bloodlust has fully corrupted his sense of justice, and the crimefighter hero the city has admired and feared is now a monstrous creature, feeding on Gotham's scum and insane and tenuously on the verge of devouring the rest of humanity.
A frightening image of what Batman could have been.

It was quite a spinoff...to have the Batman take on the legendary vampire was an exhilarating read

Finally completed the Batman/Dracula trilogy. Excellent ending. Stays true to the core of Batman and never deviates from what he is and what he stands for.

Considering how dark this comic story was, I think it ended just right. I really liked the flow of the story and its conclusion. The only thing I've had a problem with is getting caught up in Batman's eloquent words. In my mind, I know that Bruce Wayne was rich and sophisticated, but I don't hear him talk like that in my head. The words flow beautifully, but they don't fit my image of Batman, even if he is a vampire.

Wow. That's pretty much all I thought after the final panel of Crimson Mist. This is the darkest Batman of all, the one that honors his name and becomes a predator of criminals and innocents alike.
We start Crimson Mist with the agony of Batman, condemned to exist in Limbo and to thirst for blood for all eternity. At the same time, we see that Gotham has fallen victim to the Penguin, Two Face, Killer Croc, The Riddler, Poison Ivy, and many more, and that Alfred and Gordon are doubting their decision to kill Batman. In a moment of desperation, Alfred removes the stake that is immobilizing his master and releases an evil worse than the one that is already corrupting Gotham, for the Batman that is loose is no longer the protector of the city, but its biggest threat.
I can only end this review by saying that this was a fantastic trilogy, worthy of Dracula and Batman. The art has been consistent and scary, the story is solid, and it was great to read it so close to halloween. I can't wait to give it to my brother.
