I found out that the 1922 movie Nosferatu by FW Murnau came up with the idea of sunlight/UV light destroying vampires. Before that, vampires can walk out find in sunlight. Lord Ruthven, Clarimonde, Varney, Carmilla and Dracula can walk fine in sunlight though it makes Carmilla sluggish and Dracula powerless. Fun fact that Varney was the first fictional vampire to have fangs. Murnau's Nosferatu was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula and he tried to avoid copyright by differentiate it from Count Dracula to Count Orlok, Jonathan Harker to Thomas Hutter, Mina to Ellen and Van Helsing to Bulwer. Dracula is powerless in the day and for Count Orlok, sunlight is fatal to him. Unfortunately it didn't work out. Florence Stoker saw this as a rip-off of her late husbands novel so she sued the filmmaker for copyright infringement. 3 years later she won the case and the court ordered that all copies of Nosferatu to be destroyed and they were. But several prints did manage to survive and made its way to America in 1929.

In Slavic folklore, particularly Poland and Russia believed that vampires often prowled during the day, from noon till midnight. There is no mention of them being going poof in sunlight.

Kouta Hirano's Hellsing followed closely to the Bram Stoker novel where vampires are weaker in sunlight. Alucard on a plane in daylight. He's fine in the sun but he hates it.

DC New 52 I,Vampire had them weaker in the day https://imgur.com/iyl7t1l

Who can forget Twilight where they sparkle and everybody made fun of it.

They already did Batman vs Dracula but I would like to see more of their vampires that appeared in comics like the Mad Monk (a hybrid of vampire and werewolf could be a pricolici and vourdalak/wurdalac), Dala, Emily Briggs/Looker, Dagon/Nightrider, Andrew Bennett, Mary Seward, Cain the sire of all vampires and cosmic vampires like Starbreaker, Belzebeth and Dax Novu aka Mandrakk the Dark Monitor.

I'm not really tired of all the Batman vs Superman and alien invasion of earth but they already done it like many times with Darkseid and his parademons. MCU already did that.

They should make their own vampire media whether movies or tv in live action or animation and show their vampire is better than Marvels vampire. New 52 had them powerless in sunlight, not fatally destroy them like the Bram Stoker novel (https://imgur.com/iyl7t1l). Nosferatu came up with the idea of sunlight destroying vampires in 1922. Or they can use their supernatural powers in daylight like Lord Ruthven.

Should silver weakness be taken out? Batman may have used it on the Mad Monk and Dala when they're sleeping in their coffin much like the Dracula novel stating sacred bullet fired to the coffin. Silver bullets dates back to the Beast of Gevaudan in 1767. If only their is a Beast of Gevaudan in the DC universe and Red Hood and John Constantine will take care of it. Montague Summers wrote in his book "The Vampire, his Kith and Kin" that silver bullets can kill vampires in 1928 so might replace it with aspen or oak wooden bullets.

I would love to see an animated movie of Batman taking on the Mad Monk and Dala. Andrew Bennett/iVampire should have a TV series where the first season Mary Seward is an antagonist with the help of Deborah Dancer to stop Mary's vampire apocalypse. Second season should turn Mary back to human and becomes a good side. Dagon/Nightrider from the old Team Titans makes an appearance and has a love interest for Deborah. Cain, the sire of all vampires is the antagonist. I would like to see Andrew take on the revenant/zombie Solomon Grundy, Andrew and Mary vs Dracula (Alucard Rominoff) and Carmilla, and Andrew vs vampires from another planet Starbreaker and Dax Novu.

The battle between vampires and their villainous girlfriend.
