In any case, Batman Dracula may have been two movies shot concurrently: In some footage, Smith plays Dracula, dressed in black and sporting a pair of Halloween fangs; at other times, he wears a mask and cape à la Batman. Just as Superman, an interplanetary immigrant invented by two Jewish teenagers at the height of worldwide anti-Semitism, has been envisioned as a crypto-Jew (by Feiffer among others), so Batman was imagined as having a second secret identity.

Judging from a handful of existing hundred-foot 16-mm camera rolls (of which there are well over a hundred), this enterprise seems to have been envisioned as a posher version of the polymorphously perverse, intermittently orgiastic dress-up fool-arounds featured in Smith’s Flaming Creatures (1963) and his work in progress Normal Love (1963–65). The resurrected serial may have been camp (although the exhaustion factor inherent in the presentation would seem to mitigate that mode of reception).
