It looks like we've finally confirmed who the remaining two anti-Vaxxers in DC's The Infected one-shot event are, and it's exactly who Bleeding Cool told you it would be. Donna Troy and Jim Gordon are the final two heroes infected by the Batman Who Laugh's toxin in one-shots this December and turned into evil versions of themselves. Gordon was previously confirmed in Batman Who Laughs and Superman/Batman. Pip mother@#$%ing pip.

The Infected: Deathbringer #1, by writer Zoë Quinn and Tyler Kirkham, will cover Troy while The Infected: The Commissioner #1 by Paul Jenkins and Jack Herbert will cover Gordon.

Check out the press release below for more info:

As announced last month, six corrupt versions of DC's Super Heroes are coming to terrorize Earth this November and December in a series of six comics running parallel to the story unfolding in Batman/Superman by writer Joshua Williamson and artist David Marquez. Each one-shot or tie-in special spotlights a corrupt version of Shazam!, Supergirl, Hawkman, Donna Troy, Jim Gordon, and Blue Beetle, known within the DC universe as The Infected.

These six issues star DC's beloved heroes, revealed to be secretly infected by The Batman Who Laughs with a toxin that violently transforms them into the worst versions of themselves. Their buried frustrations and pent-up anger will boil to the surface, unleashing dangerous results. They'll also be The Batman Who Laughs' lieutenants against "Apex" Lex Luthor in James Tynion IV and Steve Epting's Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen mini-series, launching December 18th.

The final victims of The Batman Who Laughs' toxins, Donna Troy and Jim Gordon, will be featured in December's two one-shots. The Infected: Deathbringer #1, by writer Zoë Quinn (Goddess Mode) and artist Tyler Kirkham (Teen Titans, Deathstroke), hits shelves December 4thand The Infected: The Commissioner #1, by writer Paul Jenkins (Batman: The Dark Knight, Batman: Jekyll and Hyde) and artist Jack Herbert (The Silencer, Earth 2: World's End), hits shelves on December 18th.
