This one's not your usual Batman story! 

It's mainly a crime story that has pretty much 2 things happening now and in the past at the same time, with Bats being there helping and saving the day, and all of that, based on true events.

I liked it, it's an old timey tale with a great story and great B&W artwork. Great dialogue and characters! Solid story overall.

I'm a fan of Chip Kidd's covers and of his work in general, so I was surprised when I found out that he actually WROTE this one.

My first Batman comic. Nice story, found the artwork a little inconsistent.

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 malfunctions--faulty crane calculations, sturdy materials suddently collapsing, software glitches, walkways giving way and much more--cause 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.--From Amazon.

Pretty obscure premise but enjoyable nonetheless. Weirdly suffered for the presence of the Joker but I guess when you get the opportunity, you take it. The art in this was gorgeous though!
