Summary
Even among DC’s iconicElseworlds, few versions of Earth are as twisted as theDC vs. Vampiresuniverse. In this world, vampires succeeded in taking over the Justice League and then quickly took over the world, turning humans into nothing more than slaves to be fed on. With Batman dead, the only hope this Earth has might just beBat-Mite.
TheJustice League has been defeated, and most heroes have been transformed into horrific vampires who want nothing more than to drain humanity dry. A small resistance of the uninfected have been doing their best to fight back against the vampires, but they’re hopelessly outnumbered and outmatched. But one surprising character might just be coming to humanity’s rescue, as suggested bythe solicitation for the backup story by Tyler Boss inDC vs. Vampires: World War V#3.

The war between vampires and heroes rages on with bloody casualties on all sides, but Damian Wayne, the vampire with the mind of a human, remains the most desired prize in the fray. Both Green Arrow and the vampire army seek to put him down for good, and it’s starting to look like Damian’s days are numbered…until a Dark Knight emerges from the shadows and offers unexpected salvation! And in a backup story written and illustrated by Tyler Boss, everyone’s favorite interdimensional imp, Bat-Mite, pops into our universe…only to learn the sad fate of his Bat idol. There’s other heroes to worship, though, right?…right?
With major heroes like Batman and Superman dead, there doesn’t seem to be much hope for humanity. But with the appearance of Bat-Mite, humanity might just be saved, asBat-Mite has the power to completely undo all the tragedies this world has seen.

Bat-Mite is without a doubtthe most powerful member of the Bat-Familyand is capable of rewriting reality as he wishes. So far, the human resistance has been completely unable to stop the vampire menace, withthe vampires only growing stronger by the day as they keep turning more and more people into vampires.While humanity did have a cure, it was lost when Harley Quinn was killed. With no cure and no hope, it seems the only possible answer is the reality-bending powers of Bat-Mite. This story will also let viewers see Bat-Mite like never before — in a world without Batman.
Bat-Mite has the power to change everything.
The true fall of this dark world began with the death of the Bat-Family. WhenNightwing was revealed as the king of vampires, he immediately slaughtered Batman along with Tim Drake and Jason Todd. Bat-Mite, of course, is a huge Batman fan. He’s absolutely obsessed with Batman, and readers have never gotten to see a Bat-Mite in a world that lost its Batman. With Bat-Mite’s reality-warping powers,he could easily bring Batman back to life, or he might just turn his obsessive nature towards someone else. All that fans know for sure is that Bat-Mite has the power to change everything.
Will Bat-Mite Use His Power to Bring Batman Back?
Panel fromDC vs. Vampires#6 by James Tynion IV, Matthew Rosenberg, Rex Lokus, Simone Di Meo, Otto Schmidt, Daniele Di Nicuolo, and Tom Napolitano
It’s been stated a few times in the pages ofDC vs. Vampiresthat Batman would make all the difference in the war against the vampires. Several characters, such as Deathstroke, have even tried to revive Batman. While all of these attempts have failed, Bat-Mite is the only character who has the power to both destroy the vampires and bring Batman back. Whether he will or not remains to be seen, but asBat-Miteis an absolute Batman super-fan, it’s very likely he won’t be happy with the vampires who killed him in thisElseworldsuniverse.
