Batman Dracula
Batman Dracula is a 1964 silent 16mm Bolex black and white American superhero fan film produced and directed by Andy Warhol without the permission of DC Comics, who owns the character Batman. It stars Jack Smith who plays the roles of both millionaire Bruce Wayne and Count Dracula. The film was screened only at Warhol's Pop Art exhibits and some of it has been lost.
Production background
A fan of the Batman comic series, Warhol made the film as an homage. Warhol devoted something like seven hours of film stock to it. The film was thought to be lost until scenes from it were shown at some length in the documentary Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis (2006).
Cast
Production
Batman Dracula was filmed on the beaches of Long Island and on The Factory roof in New York City.
