Issue summary
Batman is still feeling unwell, but the Riddler has struck again and he is needed. Bane decides to use the Riddler and pumps him full of the Venom drug - he is now so much a physical match for Batman, that although the hero can stop his bomb from going off, he is unable to catch the villain as well. He does catch him at his next target, but so do Bane's men, spraying the Riddler with bullets.
