I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain — and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street,
But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, O luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night.
Evil deserves no diplomacy.

we don't make enough fun of Batman for not being a vampire. seriously this guy:
nightwalker, lurks in the shadows
goes flying through the city at night hunting down his quarry
romps around in a dramatic ass cape
lives in a gothic manor that is definitely haunted (by the narrative, the ghosts of the past, etcetera)
served by a single devoted familiar servant who seems to share some portion of his strange powers
has multiple fledglings proteges he recruits and trains to share his dark powers
the source of great, often contradictory lore (conflicting reports on his powers/weaknesses/backstory, varies by canon)
unaging (his publication history spans how many decades?)
clearly has some sort of arcane powers superhuman abilities, despite making a huge effort to pass as a Normal Human Guy

notice i didn't even mention the whole BAT themed everything. and we're expected to believe this character is NOT a vampire? i'm being baited.
