Batman Sonderband #17

In the shadowed streets of Gotham after midnight, D.J. Dark spins tales on the airwaves as a hobo is found dead, Batman closes in on a cocaine smuggler, and police hunt Deke Mitchel—a prison escapee obsessed with finding someone called Kadaver. With the city’s underbelly alight with danger, Mitchel vanishes into a toxic waste site, only to be consumed by an explosion sparked by a sudden lightning strike. The story unfolds in the grim, rain-slicked pulse of Gotham’s night, where every shadow holds a secret and every rumor could be a death sentence.

In "Säure-Mann," a man transformed by a catastrophic explosion gains the power to burn through anything, earning the grim moniker "The Corrosive Man." As Batman races to stop him after a tragic accident leaves multiple dead, the man vows revenge on the scientist responsible—Kadaver—while Kadaver's aide Webley hunts a homeless man named Dalton Walls.
