12. Batman Dracula
The Premise: A black-and-white, 120-minute "homage" to Batman conceived by artist Andy Warhol, following Batman as he battles Dracula. Predating the Adam West-starring Batman TV series by a whole two years, it is said to be the first known camp iteration of the Caped Crusader. As for plot specifics, little is known. Why It Never Got Released: The primary obstacle holding the film back is that Warhol did not seek permission from DC Comics to adapt Batman, and given the subject matter, he probably wouldn't have got it even if he did ask. As such, distributing the movie became impossible, and Warhol was only legally able to screen the film at private parties. Though long believed to be lost after Warhol's death, some brief footage from the movie did show up in the 2006 documentary Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis.
