I've seen this book, but this scene hardly rates EC; however, it is not completely off-track. I'll just sum up the details that pertain to this thread:
Bloodstorm is the second of a 3-part series set in an "alternate universe"where Batman battles Dracula himself....and loses.
Well, sort of. He defeats Dracula, but not before he transforms him into a full-fledged vampire. This occurs in the first book.
In the second book, Bloodstorm, Batman is battling against his vampiric urges while trying to remain as the crime-fighting vigilante he once was, but he's slowly losing the fight. Selina Kyle, recently TF'd into a "Cat-Woman" joins him on his crusade while seeking out the vampire that changed her in the first place.
At this point, even though he is a vampire, Batman is not affect by holy artifacts or even sunlight to an extent (it reverts him back to good ol' Bats; same w/ Selina, BTW
).
In the book's finale, the duo confronts the Joker, who has managed to organize the remaining vampires left from Dracula's reign and set them loose on Gotham. During the final battle, Selina sacrifices herself to save Batman by taking a stake/arrow to the heart that was intended for him. Unfortunately, this selfless act takes Batman over the edge and, in a brief moment of blind rage, kills the Joker and drinks his blood. This completes the transformation: Batman is now a true vampire with all of their strengths and weaknesses.
Long story short (a little late, I know, but I could go on forever on this), the EC spot goes to Batman in these books. By the third and final book, he has become a bloodthirsty demon, feeding off of only the most corrupt of Gotham...so far (even he admits at one point that he will have to start killing the innocent eventually).
In the end, he snaps out of it long enough to kill himself via sunlight, ending any possible threat that he would've been to the city.
That's the best way I can sum up the books without giving out too many details.
I recommend checking out all three books. It's well worth the read, especially if you're a fan of the series.
