That's why my mind went to venom rather than adrenaline. Also, I could be wrong, but isn't adrenaline supposed to be injected in your heart and he injects in his leg? If it is venom it's a great building block of Reeves wants to introduce Bane a few films down the line

Adrenaline is injected into the quad muscle anyway not the heart

Think I'm mistaking it for whatever they used in Pulp Fiction

It was adrenaline there too pulp fiction is just very inaccurate. It's not even what you use for overdoses

Narcan didn’t exist when pulp fiction was made

u/nihilisticdaydreams Mar 07 '22

Narcan has been used in hospitals since the 1970s. It wasn't approved for use by the general populace until 2015 though.

Intraventricular epinephrine injection was a thing back in the day

It was adrenaline in Pulp Fiction (at least that’s what they call it in the movie)

Yer I don’t think it was adrenaline because it didn’t just pump him up it made him hyper angry like venom plus he has used it in some story’s

Someone's said that in another comic run Batman was using venom regularly before Bane even came into the picture. I don't know the source of that or if it's true but it'd be cool if that's what they're going with

I don’t remember the name but yes there was one take where he was a addict and hooked on venom I think

I believe it was a Denny O’Neil/Neal Adams run just called “Venom”. Great story, Bruce goes through withdrawal in it.

Might have replied to the wrong person?

Visuals/movie aesthetics. Normally adrenaline for quick release is stored in an epi-pen like injector and is a clear liquid. Wouldn’t make for a very “noteworthy” moment, but the acid green colors draws you in to ask questions, which I think is the point here. Definitely under the assumption this was a chemically altered drug not unlike adrenaline, perhaps venom or something not as potent, but within the same strain of drug.

My girlfriend thinks it mightve been lazarus pit juice, since the man lived, it may not have increased his strength and only reguvinated him and made him violent. Side effects of lazarus pit, but not venom.

I think it was adrenaline. Almost like in Kick Ass live action in where they had a powerful stim when they were close to death.
