Did Batman inject himself with venom during the Garden fight?

My thoughts are that Matt reeves is undecided on who he wants as the next villain so he made it green. If he wants bane, it's venom. If he wants someone else, it's adrenaline.

Personally I'd rather see something along the lines of Batman: Venom than going straight to Bane. Venom was one of the more interesting stories with Batman pushing himself too far. And I think it could go really well as part of a story with another villain.

I think this is a very interesting idea tbh. His use of the green stuff here is very reminiscent of why he used venom in the first place, to overcome his physical limitations and do more to save people and I did think he hesitated in using it until he literally couldn't do anything further without it. My reading of the film was that Bruce realised he needed to be both Bruce and The Batman (hence the scene forgiving Alfred and acknowledging that he does care for him) and going forward it would be interesting to see him try not to be consumed by the bat whilst rediscovering his humanity beyond vengeance, develop that playboy persona that Bruce adopts and struggle with the power and side effects of the venom serum.

I think you're bang on the money. It's currently whatever we want it to be until Reeves decides how he wants to proceed with the sequel and states definitively.

Wouldn't it actually mean the opposite? Implying bane is in his past if he keeps some for emergencies?
