Forget everything you know about Batman on screen—there’s a weird, wild gem you’ve probably never heard of. Back in 1964, Andy Warhol, yes Andy Warhol, made his own Batman movie. And no, he didn’t ask DC for permission. Batman Dracula was Warhol’s DIY tribute to the Dark Knight, shot on a 16mm Bolex camera and only ever shown at his art exhibits. Talk about the underground.
The movie, starring Jack Smith as Bruce Wayne and Count Dracula, is a total trip. No flashy explosions, no CGI, just a surreal, almost abstract chase across Long Island and New York City, culminating in a weird showdown between Batman and Dracula. Warhol didn’t care for typical superhero rules—this was his twisted take, full of camp and weirdness. Batman and Dracula? Perfect combo, right? And Warhol was all in.
