Fifth dimensional imps like Bat-Mite are some of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe.. With their incredible power, they can warp reality as they wish. When the Joker has this power in Emperor Joker Through Jeph Loeb, Ed McGuinness, Joe Kelly and Doug Mahnke, he was able to completely recreate the Earth in his image and even erase the universe before reconstructing it the way he wanted. This level of power is simply beyond anything the vampires have at their disposal. With a single click, Bat-Mite can solve every problem on earth for the Bat-Family.

There doesn’t seem to be any cure for vampirism in this universe. Harley Quinn’s blood had a cure in it at one point, but she was killed when Barbara Gordon allowed herself to become a vampire. Deathstroke discovered that the Lazarus Pits could cure vampirism, but they were hard to find, and all known pits were hunted down and destroyed by the vampires. Neither science nor magic seems to have any effect on vampirismAnd it affects people regardless of their race, as humans, Amazonians, Martians and Kryptonians are all infected.

The vampires of DC vs Vampires seem completely unstoppable

There is no cure for this vampirism

Every time the heroes try to find a way to cure the vampirism disease, they are thwarted. Considering the power difference between characters like Black Canary, Green Arrow and a vampiric Wonder Woman, there is simply no hope for the former heroes to defeat the latter. That’s why medicine was once so important to history. It seemed like the heroes were completely out of options. But Now that Bat-Mite has arrived, they should finally be able to win the warAnd they will be able to do it with ease. Bat-Mite was probably more than willing to help the heroes, but he couldn’t be contacted and there was no guarantee that he would show up.

Now that Bat-Mate is finally here and in touch with the Bat-Family, things may be going better than ever. with his powers over reality, It would be no problem for Bat-Mite to simply heal everyone on Earth of the vampire disease. With a simple snap, Wonder Woman and everyone else would be cured. Bat-Mite has the power to change the universe, so something like this would be no big deal to him. But the question is whether he will even help. While Bat-Mite has agreed to take on a role of service, his past behavior is somewhat concerning.

Bat-mate likes to see his heroes overcome challenges on their own

So he can’t even help

As Geo-Force and dozens of other heroes found out, Bat-Mite enjoys seeing his fixations overcome challenges. Even when he tries to help, the help can often come with catastrophic results, which is why he rarely helped Batman when he was alive. While the Bat-Family could ask him to simply wipe out all the vampires or cure them instantly, he may not be inclined to do so.

After all, this is the biggest challenge the Bat-Family has ever faced—much bigger than anything Batman is up against. With that in mind, see these Bat family Overcoming the vampire threat completely on their own would be the greatest outcome for a fanboy like daughter-in-law.
