Professor Milo, an old enemy of Batman’s, comes across Anthony Lupus, a famous Olympic champion who is plagued by mysterious headaches and has descended into seeking any medical quack who can help him after regular doctors can find no explanation for his condition. Milo correctly diagnoses him as a lycanthrope(werewolf) and holds out hope of a cure if Lupus will kill Batman for him.
Batman first encounters Lupus in wolf-form when he attacks a young woman in her apartment(after killing her watchdog).The woman is saved and Lupus escapes. Never a firm believer in the supernatural, batman is nonetheless forced to consider the matter.
Milo has taunted Lupus with the vial of antidote so often that it backfires. During the planned showdown, Lupus attacks Milo instead;shattering the vial and inflicting deep scars on Milo's face. Enough of Lupus' humanity remains that he breaks off the attack and flees.(Several months later, DETECTIVE COMICS finds him living in solitary in the Arctic).
