I'm a fan of comics-crossovers, and this fan-fic depicts the eccentric urban vigilante Batman (DC Comics) contending with a mutated 'rendition' of Venom (Marvel Comics) simply named 'Super-Venom.'
I'd love any kind of feedback regarding the 'graphic appeal' of this urban comic-crossover tale...
Enjoy!
====
Batman was the ultimate masked vigilante, the real defender of the crime-infested Gotham City which was the more metropolitan (if not more cosmopolitan) 'rendition' of New York(!). Batman was actually Gotham's luminous socialite-businessman Bruce Wayne (head of Wayne Industries), a princely heir to his father's lucrative company which invested in weapons-tech, bio-tech, and software. Bruce wanted Wayne Industries to begin investments in genomics as well, working closely with the geneticists at the Salk Institute (San Diego). No one knew Bruce was actually the masked 'superhero' Batman, a valiant and somewhat mysterious crime-fighter who helped the GCPD (Gotham City Police Department) apprehend/incarcerate the city's worst and most criminally-insane(!) villains/terrorists. Batman had arrested Scarecrow (a masked maniac wielding fear-toxins), Penguin (a sewer-dwelling narcotics-lord and crime-master), Talia al Ghul (nefarious woman and head of the crime syndicate known as 'Leviathan'), and the Red Hood Gang (an insidious masked troop of armed bank-robbers). Batman took stock of his successes while working on a crime-file for a new Gotham nemesis called 'Super-Venom.' Batman was sitting in front of his giant computer in his 'bat-cave' (which was in the basement of his Wayne Mansion!).
BATMAN: I've dressed up as a bat, since bats are extraordinary flying-rodents who represent nocturnal intuition, which is what I really need to tackle Gotham's eerie villains/criminals(!); however, I'm quite alarmed at the profile/reports of this new nemesis called 'Super-Venom' (since I doubt the GCPD is equipped to handle this brutish mutant and hellraiser!).
Batman realized that Super-Venom was no ordinary criminal. Super-Venom was spotted/sighted making mayhem on the rooftops of Gotham City's buildings and sometimes hurling large cement blocks off the rooftops onto the heads of vulnerable pedestrians on the streets below. Super-Venom also kidnapped multiple GCPD officers (cops) and made them ingest a lethal poison before decapitating them and dismembering their limbs and delivering their 'partitioned' bodies to the steps of Town Hall(!). Super-Venom also kidnapped multiple city prostitutes and cut off their hand before 'returning' them to their street-jobs/positions late at night (going so far as to administer healing medicines to cure their pain/wounds incurred from their hands being cut off!). Batman knew Super-Venom was a real 'agent' of hell and pure mayhem and concluded that he was some kind of mad scientist who may have ingested an experimental strength-enhancing serum which transformed his body and drove him insane and 'compelled' him to don the distinctive black spider-themed villain-suit/uniform which journalists photographed when they sighted him hurling cement blocks off Gotham building rooftops.
SUPER-VENOM: The only 'cop' with enough gumption or wits to tackle me is arguably the mysterious Batman, whom I suspect may be a prominent Gotham socialite or businessman or politician who felt the 'urge' to become some kind of 'super-hero' and crusader; when Batman discovers that I, 'Super-Venom,' intend to turn this city into a pit of darkness, he'll have no choice but to acknowledge me as the true prince of hell in this modern 'city of discord.'
Super-Venom was convinced that if he was somehow able to outwit/defeat the shrewd and valiant Batman, prince of sanity in Gotham(!), then he'd be 'crowned' as Gotham's ultimate agent of hell. That was his real intention --- to turn basic criminal intentionality into a mosaic of confusion and noise. Of course, Batman (Bruce Wayne) had already begun coordinating various society institutions (such as the mayor's office!) and science-research groups (some at Wayne Industries!) while advising the GCPD to begin regular helicopter patrols of city building rooftops so the cops could contact Batman immediately/efficiently in the case of some terrible crime or mayhem committed by Super-Venom. Batman was most troubled by Super-Venom's eerie use of ugly violence as a form of urban civics subversion (e.g., the dismemberment of cops and the cutting of prostitutes' hands). Super-Venom decided to send a note to the GCPD informing them that he was 'daring' Batman to meet with him late at night on a particular city building rooftop for a televised fist-fight.
At about 3 a.m. on a certain building rooftop, Batman confronted the ugly Super-Venom and began wrestling with him and punching him and absorbing mighty punches himself while GTV journalists/reporters recorded the entire fight! Batman was very well trained in hand-to-hand combat and was physically fit to deal with the brutishness and violence of the eerie Super-Venom. However, at one point Super-Venom almost got the better of the heroic Batman when he nearly spooked him so badly that Batman almost fell off the battle-arena (the building rooftop). In the end, fortunately, Batman managed to somehow/miraculously bind and pin down Super-Venom and haul him off to Arkham Incarceration Center (AIC) where Batman could interview/interrogate the super-villain in front of TV cameras. The interview was hopefully to serve as a general 'template' for future criminal interviews and televised presentations/analyses. It would also hopefully bring Batman needed/desired social respect/esteem.
BATMAN: Your violent tactics are ugly!
SUPER-VENOM: Thanks for allowing me to remain masked...
BATMAN: We wanted to 'honor' your need to remain disguised during incarceration.
SUPER-VENOM: That's sensible, since the cops/lawyers intend to keep me here forever!
BATMAN: You hardly warrant any 'special consideration.'
SUPER-VENOM: Maybe someday, I'll reveal my face/name.
BATMAN: Well, until then, the people of Gotham are curious about your mind.
SUPER-VENOM: I have little to 'report' except my interest in hell/mayhem!
BATMAN: I suppose you believe you're an 'agent' of the Devil.
SUPER-VENOM: I serve no one but myself, Batman.
BATMAN: Who are you punishing with your mayhem?
SUPER-VENOM: I employ unusual violence to reveal presence of discord.
BATMAN: So discord to you is an 'absolute truth.'
SUPER-VENOM: Don't you realize that Gotham prostitutes spread disease?
BATMAN: No woman deserves to be treated/labelled as a 'hole.'
SUPER-VENOM: You misunderstand the reality of doubt (and darkness)!
BATMAN: The people of Gotham trust that your incarceration will create long-term security.
SUPER-VENOM: Perhaps someday they'll invent a medicine to cure my 'malice.'
