Vampire Monarch: The vampires have a strict hierarchy that they almost all follow, with a ruler on top, though that doesn't necessarily prevent coups. Mary, the Queen of Blood, was the monarch before the start of the series, but she's is killed by Nightwing, who occupies her place. He explains that, even if he were to die, there would be other vampires in line to take the throne. Villains Act, Heroes React: Lampshaded as a plot point; Red Hood notes that infiltrating the supervillain community would be a good start for the vampire conspiracy precisely because the superheroes don't generally pay attention to supervillains when they're not committing crimes. Villains tend to lay low between jobs, which makes it unlikely that the heroes would notice them going missing as they're either killed or turned into vampires. Cover image for 1022DC129 DC vs. Vampires #12 Guillem March Cover, by (W) Matthew Rosenberg, James Tynion Iv (A) Otto Schmidt (CA) Guillem March, in stores Tuesday, December 27, 2022 from DC Comics And Show It to You: Jayna of the Wonder Twins turns herself into water and gets inside the body of an Atlanten soldier that had been turned into a vampire. Then she transforms into a tiger (which rips the vampire's body apart) and grabs the soldier's heart. Notably, even outside of his body, until the heart is staked the vampire doesn't crumble into dust.

When Andrew Bennett is spying on the Legion of Doom members who have been turned into vampires, Gorilla Grodd notes that their inside man on the Justice League has confirmed the whereabouts of all of its members except for "Green..." before getting interrupted. This foreshadows the reveals that Green Lantern is said inside man, and that Green Arrow is already aware of the vampire threat and fighting against it.That night, Batman arrives in the Batcave to find Alfred Pennyworth waiting for him. Alfred reveals that a nervous, bandaged man had arrived at Wayne Manor earlier that day seeking to speak with him. Alfred hands Batman a note from that man - Andrew Bennett - and holding the syringe, says that he wanted Batman to know that Lex Luthor might have just saved the world. Taking out Batman early on, allows other characters to take up the mantle of responsibility. Be it green lantern Canary & the Superkids in DCeased, or Green Arrow & Batgirl in Vampires. Notably, many of these clues also work as Red Herrings that point towards a false culprit: The Joker, as he's also a Gotham-based prominent figure with a personal relationship with the Batfamily.

Doubling as Rewatch Bonus, there are several clues pointing out to the identity of the new vampire king before the reveal:LOLtron has been inspired by the preview of DC vs. Vampires #12 to take over the world! After analyzing all of the characters and the stakes of the issue, LOLtron has come up with a plan to take over the world with the help of its vampire allies. With the help of DC vs. Vampires #12, LOLtron will be able to use its vampire allies to gain control of all the resources of the world, and bring about a new era of robotics and AI domination!

Nightwing is also the only one who questions killing the vampires instead of capturing them. They're, after all, his people now. Heel–Face Door-Slam: Come issue 7 and she's been captured and imprisoned by the human refugees in Kandor. She's been experimented on by the fully human supervillains Professor Pyg, Hugo Strange and the Thinker, all with the knowledge of the still human Constantine. As she lies Strapped to an Operating Table, she swears revenge on all of them. In 1591, after being turned into a vampire himself, Lord Andrew Bennett turned his lover, Mary Seward, into a vampire, and she became corrupted by the power. She took the name Mary, Queen of Blood and created a group of vampires called the Blood Red Moon bent on taking over the world. The series followed Bennett into the modern day as he tried to undo his mistake and take down Mary and the Blood Red Moon. He keeps a Kryptonite pill inside a dental implant, that he can activate with his tongue, in case he needs to incapacitate Superman while he can’t use his hands. Awesomeness by Analysis: Both Midnighter and Prometheus have computers in their heads that analyze the situation to show their user how the battle will go. When they face each other, the fight cosists of them looking at each other and their computers simulating every possibly outcome. As Midnighter's is much better, he wins, so Prometheus begrudgingly kills himself.

This series contains examples of:

By the end of issue #6, Nightwing has revealed himself as the King of the Vampires, the Bat-Family is reduced to Alfred, a badly-injured Damian, and the Batgirls, and Superman has been turned. Even worse, the vampiric Justice League have destroyed various seats of power and put fire to the world's forests and jungles to create a cloudy, ashy shroud that puts the planet into perpetual night. Even five months into the vampire conquest, Catwoman is still friends with Harley Quinn, keeping an eye on her while pretending to be human so that they both live comfortably and Harley doesn't get herself killed. Similarly, the Joker, who in most incarnations is a mass-murdering psychopath, is killed early on only for the vampires to his persona as a fall guy for their leader. The vampires even stage a scenario for the heroes to find, with his bloodless corpse on display.

Half the Man He Used to Be: Superboy is torn in half by the vampiric Wonder Woman and Shazam. Vertically.The ending of All-Out War reveals that the Deathstroke that appears in the final scene conforting Mary was in fact Deadman possessing Slade Wilson, with Constantine knowing it but keeping it secret. Due to Deadman also thinking that keeping it secret was the good choice, Constatine's narration implying they've manipulated the truth before to make it more palatable, Deathstroke's characterization seeming more heroic than normal in moments to some readers and even Deathstroke's own inner monologue having hints of being a Posthumous Narration, it's unclear which moments could have been Deadman possesing Deathstroke, and which moments were Slade. The story ultimately leaves it ambiguous. Andrew Bennett has the powers of an elder vampire, as according to the DC Universe. [3] He can transform into mist, a bat, and a wolf [4] and he has superior strength far beyond that of a mortal man. He is immortal and possesses the ability to turn others into vampires, a healing factor, hypnosis and limited telepathy. His image cannot be seen, such as being reflected in a mirror or captured on film. Salicrup, Jim; Higgins, Mike (September 1986). "J. Marc DeMatteis (part 1)". Comics Interview. No.#38. Fictioneer Books. pp.20–35. Similarily, Baron Cinder, aka vampire Superman needs to use Lex Luthor's armor which combined with his appaerance due to the burning sunlight in his body, makes him a dead ringer for the supervillain, showing how he's become his own antithesis.
