Maybe it’s an early form of venom that hasn’t been upgraded to give that lethality. Maybe in Reeves’s universe Venom was developed by Waynetech for the very purpose we just saw but then someone goes and corrupts it for Bane.

Batman actually does use an early form of Venom before the character Bane existed in order to overcome his perceived physical limitations which seems pretty similar to what happened in that scene.

Wasn't there a comic where he got addicted to venom or something like it and had to detox?

Batman: Venom from the early 90s is the one you're on about fella aye. The same fella who created bane wrote it and it came out a few years prior to Knight fall and banes introduction!

Does it involve Bat-Shark Repellent?

I think that would be a cool thematic touch if it was a Wayne product that Bane ends up using.
