Batman #1/1991

In the rain-slicked heart of Gotham, Batman answers a midnight call that threads together a murder, a fugitive, and a killer with a corrosive touch. As the city sleeps, a radio host’s voice cuts through the static, a hobo lies dead in an alley, and a man named Deke Mitchel—haunted by a name he can’t escape—flees through toxic waste, his path lit only by lightning and desperation.

In "Kapitel 2: Den förtjusande herr Kadaver," Batman confronts the escalating chaos as the newly transformed Brinnande Mannen, fueled by rage and a newfound power to burn through anything, targets those he believes are responsible for his transformation. With the city on edge, Kadaver remains a shadowy figure orchestrating violence from the sidelines, sending his aide Webley to eliminate a homeless man named Dalton Walls. As the lines between vengeance and manipulation blur, Batman must race to stop a chain of destruction before it consumes Gotham entirely.

In "Kapitel 3: Den brinnande mannen," Batman closes in on a killer only to uncover a web of deception spun by Kadaver, a man who manipulates the desperate and the greedy alike. As the detective unravels the truth behind a murder staged as a hobo’s crime, the Corrosive Man arrives—burning with vengeance, and not for the reasons anyone expects.
