Batman: Venom #[nn]

In "Venom: Part Two," Batman's descent into addiction turns him into a hollow, uncostumed enforcer under General Slaycroft's control, forced to confront the unthinkable—killing Commissioner Gordon—just to keep his next dose. The story chillingly explores the collapse of a hero when power is stripped away and replaced with dependency.

In "Venom: Part Three," Batman grapples with the aftermath of his addiction, isolating himself in the Batcave for a month in a bid to reclaim control. Meanwhile, General Slaycroft's son is transformed into a monstrous superhuman by the enigmatic Professor Randolph.
