One of the earliest foes that Batman ever faced was the vampire known as The Monk who, at the end of his first storyline, Batman killed. With a gun. It was the Golden Age. But death has never kept a comic book character down, and with alternate Earths and reboot, The Monk has returned in very different forms multiple times. Patreon backer Tim Rooney asked us to cover the Bronze Age Monk story, and so we tossed in the original Monk story and another Monk appearance to make this vampirific episode.

Batman Vs. the Vampire (Detective Comics V.1 # 31-32)

Nightmare In Crimson (Batman V.1 # 349-351, Detective Comics V.1 # 517)
