Synopsis for "Batman Versus the Vampire (Part I)"

Batman discovers that his fiancée Julie Madison, while under a hypnotic spell, had recently tried to murder a man. Bruce takes her to see a therapist who recommends therapy and an extended vacation to France and Hungary - "the land of werewolves!" Determined to keep an eye on her, Bruce attends the vacation voyage with Julie. On the boat, Batman finds Julie falling under another hypnotic trance. The man responsible for Julie's state is a masked figure known as the Monk. The Monk and Batman clash on the boat, and the Batman later chases him to a laboratory in Paris.

In Paris, Batman breaks into the Monk's headquarters and falls victim to a trap. Batman escapes from the various traps and chases the Monk out of the castle. He knows that the Monk likely traveled to his estate in Hungary and plans on following him there.

Notes

  • "Batman Versus the Vampire (Part I)" is reprinted in the following issues:
  • "Batman Versus the Vampire" concludes in issue #32.
  • First appearance of the Batgyro and the Batarang (spelled Baterang in this issue). The Batgyro begins to be referred to as the Batplane next issue.
  • With this issue, the Batman begins wearing longer gloves that extend halfway down his forearm.
  • This story establishes that Batman operates out of New York City. In years to come it will be retroactively altered to Gotham City.


Trivia

  • This issue introduces the character of Julie Madison. Madison makes infrequent appearances throughout the Golden Age era as Bruce Wayne's fiancée. The character was later re-imagined for the modern Post-Crisis continuity, and is largely seen in flashback stories.
  • The Mad Monk (referred to here as the Master Monk) is Batman's first masked, super-powered adversary.
