The Batman & Dracula trilogy consists of three American graphic novels—Batman & Dracula: Red Rain (1991), Batman: Bloodstorm (1994), and Batman: Crimson Mist (1998)—written by Doug Moench and penciled by Kelley Jones. The books were published by the comic book publishing company DC Comics as a part of its Elseworlds line of comics. Moench created the concept for the first installment and convinced Jones, of whom he was a fan, to join the project. Red Rain's eventual popularity resulted in DC commissioning sequels.

Set outside the DC Universe and Bram Stoker's literary canons, the trilogy begins with a parallel universe counterpart of Batman discovering Count Dracula and his minions feeding off the homeless of Gotham City. This Batman becomes a vampire to gain the necessary strength to defeat Dracula, in which his disguise as a strange dark creature of the night has become a horrific reality after saving the city. Batman also meets Selina Kyle, commonly known as Catwoman, who in this universe is a werecat creature who transforms by night. The two soon team up after they realise that they are not enemies. Struggling to use his black powers for good, Batman finds himself increasingly driven insane by his bloodlust and eventually kills the Joker before forcing Alfred Pennyworth and Commissioner Gordon to stake him. The stake is later removed by Alfred during a crime wave and Batman slaughters most of his old enemies and other criminals, after which survivors Two-Face and Killer Croc attempt to get rid of him once and for all.

The Batman & Dracula books were among the earliest and most popular titles of the Elseworlds line, with each listed on the Diamond Comic Distributors bestsellers list. Journalists have praised the books for their story and artwork. Since the trilogy's conclusion, several other DC print releases have featured stories set within Batman & Dracula's world, and the vampire Batman has appeared in some non-comic book media.

The Batman & Dracula trilogy was written by Doug Moench and penciled by Kelley Jones. Moench previously wrote Batman and Detective Comics from 1983 to 1986, while Jones was known for redesigning Deadman for the limited series Deadman: Love After Death (1989—1990) and illustrating seven issues of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman (1989—1996). The books were published by DC Comics under its Elseworlds imprint, which was designated for comics that took place outside the DC Universe canon. The initial installment, Batman & Dracula: Red Rain, was an early Elseworlds book; the first, Batman: Holy Terror, had only been released a few months earlier. The Batman & Dracula stories pay homage to the old Universal Pictures and Hammer Film Productions horror films.

According to Jones, Red Rain was produced after he finished Love After Death. Editor Archie Goodwin had been impressed by Jones' work on the series and wanted him to draw a Detective Comics cover to see his take on Batman. The image Jones produced—which depicted Batman diving down with a "weird cape" and surrounded by bats—impressed Goodwin and Dennis O'Neil, the editor of the Batman family of comics. O'Neil wanted to use Jones' art for a Batman book and had been talking to Moench, who was also a fan of Jones. Moench contacted Jones and told him about the concept he had made for an Elseworlds story in which Batman fights Count Dracula. Jones initially thought it was "the dumbest thing [he] ever heard", but changed his mind after Moench sent him the outline for it, which Jones called "out of the park wonderful". The original title was Glory in Scarlet before being changed to Red Rain. It took Moench and Jones five months to produce Red Rain. They used an approach somewhat similar to the Marvel method: Moench provided Jones with a plot description for each page, with a few lines of dialogue scattered throughout. Malcolm Jones III inked the art.

Red Rain was released in December 1991. It was first available as a 90-page hardcover graphic novel that retailed for US$4.95. Moench and Jones did not envision it as the beginning of a trilogy, instead as a one-shot similar to Batman/Judge Dredd: Judgment on Gotham and Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, but after it sold well above expectations, DC commissioned the two to produce a sequel. Jones said that they were offered the sequel alongside another Elseworlds story, Batman/Dark Joker: The Wild. The sequel, Batman: Bloodstorm, was published in January 1994; Jones said the gap was caused by his responsibilities on Dark Joker. When he started illustrating, he was also hired as the cover artist for Batman and Detective Comics. John Beatty had to ink Bloodstorm because Malcolm Jones III was having personal issues.

Moench and Jones thought Bloodstorm would be the last Batman & Dracula story because both were now going to work on the monthly Batman titles, but it also sold above expectations. Les Dorscheid had colored Jones' art in the first two books, but he was replaced by Gregory Wright. Unlike Dorscheid, Wright colored the art digitally. Batman: Crimson Mist was released in December 1998. Moench knew that Crimson Mist was the conclusion, as he felt it was going to be the hardest and needed to end on an unsettling note. A collected edition comprising all three books, Tales of the Multiverse: Batman – Vampire, was released in December 2007. A second collection of the trilogy, Elseworlds: Batman Volume 2, was released on October 5, 2016.

Batman investigates a series of murders of homeless people of Gotham City whose throats have been slashed. He discovers that a family of vampires led by Count Dracula are behind the murders. A rogue vampire, Tanya, chooses to help Batman, visiting him in his sleep and biting him to infuse him with vampiric strength, allowing him to stand up to Dracula's minions while retaining his humanity. Tanya informs Batman that vampires created by Dracula are powerless against his abilities.
