''Batman: Contagion'' is a ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' BatFamilyCrossover released by Creator/DCComics in 1996.
Gotham City has been in a bit of a upheaval since [[ComicBook/{{Knightfall}} Bane's release of Arkham's inmates and the appearance of the armored Batman]]. As the original Batman attempts to fix things from that time, a new threat has arrived - [[ComicBook/{{Azrael}} Jean-Paul Valley]], the former armored Batman, warns Batman that someone has been infected by a genetically-modified supervirus created by the Order of St. Dumas and is on a beeline for Gotham itself. When Batman and Robin fail to find and isolate the man, it becomes a race against time to save the city against a virus that could spell the end of Gotham and possibly the world.
