Batman Special #4

In the rain-slicked heart of Gotham after midnight, D.J. Dark spins tales from the city’s shadows while a hobo meets a grisly end on the streets below. Batman moves through the neon-drenched alleys, chasing a cocaine smuggler tied to a web of crime, as police hunt a killer on the run—Deke Mitchel, a man with a corrosive past and a deadly mission. With the city on edge and danger lurking in toxic waste and forgotten corners, one thing is clear: someone is searching for a name—Kadaver—and the streets won’t stay quiet for long.

In "Nachtvogels deel II - De aanvreter," a man transformed by a catastrophic explosion gains the power to burn through anything, becoming the Corrosive Man. Batman must confront the escalating threat as the newly empowered villain, Derek Mitchel, turns his rage on those he believes responsible—starting with the enigmatic Mr. Kadaver, who sends his henchman Webley to eliminate a homeless man named Dalton Walls. With the city on edge and lives hanging in the balance, the line between vengeance and chaos begins to blur.

In "Nachtvogels deel III - De verzengende put," Batman closes in on Webley after the murder of Dalton Walls, uncovering a web of deceit that leads to Mr. Kadaver—a man driven by greed and vengeance. As the investigation unravels, Kadaver’s brutal scheme collides with Hobart’s desperate attempt to secure his inheritance, drawing in the Corrosive Man, whose thirst for retribution threatens to consume them all.
