I love the weapon of choice for taking out Batman: a bat.

Before the advent of motorized transport, an officer's batman was also in charge of the officer's "bat-horse" that carried the officer's kit during a campaign.

It's quite likely that Alfred was a Batman before Batman was.

I thought that an invisible person was pouring into her flute.

This comic makes me think that the "Batman vs Dracula" story might have been about a property line dispute.

Kirk Langstrom lives at the other side of town.

I don't get it.

Harley Quinn hits Dracula with a bat. Vampires can turn into bats. I guess you could say Dracula is a "bat man". Bruce Wayne lives in a mansion.

Is this just a pun on "bat man"? What am I missing?

Reading this comment is like watching someone pick out a needle from a needle stack and toss it aside to keep looking for a needle.

vampire turns into bat. he is a bat-man.

Quinn and joker want to beat up BatMan. The superhero.

They accidentally beat up bat-man. Not BatMan

Batman and Dracula are characters that share a nocturnal bat related identity and are also wealthy recluses with mansions. So yeah, that's pretty much the joke. Whoops Harley and the Joker got them confused.

No, it sounds like you actually do get it

Oh, I thought the joke is reversed as in Joker -> Stoker
