Batman: Death by Design | Chip Kidd

2 posts | 2 read

In this new original graphic novel from superstar writer/designer Chip Kidd and artist Dave Taylor, Gotham City is undergoing one of the most expansive construction booms in its history. The most prestigious architects from across the globe have buildings in various phases of completion all over town. As chairman of the Gotham Landmarks Commission, Bruce Wayne has been a key part of this boom, which signals a golden age of architectural ingenuity for the city. And then, the explosions begin. All manner of design-related malfunctionsŠfaulty crane calculations, sturdy materials suddently collapsing, software glitches, walkways giving way and much moreŠcause casualties across the city. This bizarre string of seemingly random, unconnected catastrophes threaten to bring the whole construction industry down. Fingers are pointed as Batman must somehow solve the problem and find whoever is behind it all.

so-so

I very much enjoyed artist Dave Taylor‘s architectural spreads, but his figural work didn‘t do a lot for me. Ditto Chip Kidd‘s script. He reaches for an early Silver Age style, but can‘t quite manage to pull off a conscious homage that still fits contemporary sensibilities and generates a compelling story. I wasn‘t surprised to learn this OGN marks his first stab at writing for comics.

Well, that was... unmemorable. Apologies to Dave Taylor, but I hated the art.
