Andy Warhol in 1964.

Batman Dracula is a 1964 film directed by pop artist Andy Warhol.

The film is silent and black and white. It runs 120 minutes. According to Warhol, the movie was created as an "homage" to the Batman series. It was not authorized by DC Comics. The filming took place on the beaches of Long Island, on various rooftops in New York, and at Andy Warhol's New York City Studio known as "The Factory." It stars Jack Smith (director of Flaming Creatures) as Batman/Dracula. [1]

Batman Dracula was only screened as part of Andy Warhol's art exhibits. As of Warhol's death, the film was considered lost. However, some scenes from the film were shown in the 2006 documentary Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis.[2]
