Nightwing continues his assault by stomping Tim Drake's head into pieces, allowing a vampiric Wonder Woman to bite and turn Jason Todd into a vampire (although Green Arrow kills Red Hood before the turn is complete), forcing Cassandra Cain into retreat with the remaining heroes, and finally biting into Damian Wayne's neck himself.
