From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Batman Dracula is a 1964 American film that was produced and directed by Andy Warhol, without the permission of DC Comics. It was screened only at his art exhibits. A fan of the Batman serials, Warhol's movie was a "homage" to the series, and is considered the first appearance of a blatantly campy Batman.[citation needed] The film was until recently thought to have been lost, until scenes from the picture were shown at some length in the 2006 documentary Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis.
Gregory Battcock appeared as "Batman". Gregory Battcock was close friends with Andy Warhol and starred in several of the artist’s films, including “Horse,” 1965, “Galaxie,” 1966 and “Iliac Passion,” 1967. His interest in cinema led him to write articles about other Warhol films such as “Notes on the Chelsea Girls: A Film by Andy Warhol,” 1967, and “Warhol Film,” 1968.
