Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
跟诺兰的蝙蝠侠完全不能比，没有了深刻的内核，只是一个华丽但臭长的外壳。
猫女小时候目睹“想在男人身上分一杯羹”的母亲被男人掐死。
罗蝙9/10，罗的布鲁斯韦恩7/10，病娇富家贵公子差那么一点点意思；
用黑色电影的遗产为这个类型找到了全新的标杆！从来没有一部超级英雄电影可以把我看到流泪的，但这部马修斯卡德式的蝙蝠侠做到了，那种无力感，那种孤独感，是聒噪的爆米花思路无法给予的。我可以肯定的说这是有史以来最好的超级英雄电影，懂的都懂。
看的过程中很多时候都忍不住想笑，尤其是最后batman 举着火炬把水里的人一个个拉出来，那种光明积极的配乐一起，我感觉他不是蝙蝠侠，他是雷锋侠，他在扶老太太过马路。
哈哈哈哈，蝙蝠侠要是不信共产主义这片很难收尾！
阴雨不断的，暗无天日的，诡异蹊跷的，烂到骨子的，无可救药的，抽丝剥茧的，惺惺相惜的，环环相扣的，熊熊火光的，冲刷干净的，孤身一人的，黎明将至的……
蝙蝠侠算DC市场最稳妥的IP了，隔几年就得炒一回。前有蒂姆·伯顿、诺兰，早已将The Batman抬高到一个不可攀登的高度了，因此这一部并未承载影迷太多的期待。实际上，影片在相当长的时间里都是拖沓的，篇幅长倒成了缺点。罗伯特·帕丁森的表演毫无特色，也就怨不得影迷审美的固化。特效痕迹太重，哥谭的暗黑氛围被削弱不少，至少反派是令人失望的。
They think I'm hiding in the shadows. But I am the shadows.
中国各大影院：？
不能给太多星了，慢的我受不了了，快进都嫌慢。
2022感動哥譚Youtube廣告——沒有見過比這更像廣告的電影。淺焦與細膩流動的情緒結合時是感官的敏銳放大，與假大空的敘述結合時就顯得無比commercial而塑料，幾乎下一秒就要開始介紹社保產品了。提出的問題因為沒有對切入點思考而流於符號，那些走下神壇到水中低處、角色位置的互換等等橋段都太缺乏感情了。
于是以为已经战胜了痛苦。
徒有其表的视听，一个挣扎迷茫的蝙蝠侠，说话还这么装呢？看笑好几次，”啊！我从没想过我还能感受到恐惧…”，你确定这叫恐惧？请重新定义恐惧…办案时耳聪目明智商在线，找父亲往事之谜却变成复读机，是面具遮住了眼睛所以只会说说说么？
摘下面具之后的这个黑眼圈吧…如果要是黑金属就好了，可是是哥特…看得我想买个文曲星，听不懂啊……
也就是为了听反派影评的节目才去看了这部片……有些视觉段落是挺不错的（夜店；追车；各种雨夜；剪影）等等，不过动作设计也太……对付事儿了吧（忽然想起来当年看诺兰第三部我还睡着了……），剧作上做的这个局也实在呵呵。另外警察服装怎么这么gay里gay气的这是啥品味……
好喜欢猫女！他的飞行服也太可爱了！在夜晚看起来更像鼯鼠了，我要马上看到这样的同人。
三小时津津有味，扩散的混乱过于应景，写实得毛骨悚然。除了秩序与正义的社会探讨，《七宗罪》式解谜剧情，丧失之痛的人物心理动力，还记得反派的一句“格局要大（You are missing the big picture）”，银幕翻译真是太幽默了。
超级英雄片和文艺片的奇怪杂交……剧情冲突设计有些俗套，图书馆下水救人那段更是无趣且不合逻辑，像是为了致敬某圣经桥段而硬塞进去的。5/10吧
这版蝙蝠侠和他的敌人都很弱鸡，但也越来越贴近现实，哥谭不愧是美帝的里世界。蛮喜欢影片营造的压抑、无助、黑暗风、有厚重感。看见初出茅庐的布鲁斯韦恩对自己复仇行为感到迷茫，与谜语人决斗中他输了，与猫女分道扬镳镜头，重新点题：他依然坚定拼死承担义务的意志，历经洗礼的蜕变。
