Designing Batman

DC Comics have announced that an original Batman graphic novel called “Batman: Death By Design” will be released as a hardcover on May 30 (comic book shops) and June 5 (bookstores).

Written by Chip Kidd, with art by Dave Taylor, the book has The Caped Crusader looking into the destruction of a Gotham City landmark during a construction boom. Though given that it’s a Batman tale, it’s probably more going on than city council meetings and zoning law violations.

“Batman: Death By Design” will retail for $24.99.
