Taking over for departing writer\/artist Tony Daniel, Layman will team with &#8220;Dark Knight&#8221; artist Jason Fabok and spin a tale apparently focusing on Batman&#8217;s latest battle with the Penguin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, this is a happily surreal and exciting turn-of-events for my career,\u201d Layman told the blog. \u201cNot only is this my first work within the DC Universe, but I get to work on one of DC\u2019s undisputedly coolest and highest-profile characters. I\u2019m going to take a look at the role of criminal organizations within Gotham City, hopefully from a perspective that does not get considered very often (if at all). From the symbiotic relationship a master criminal must have with Gotham in order to survive, to the lowly, often faceless criminal underling hoping to rise up the ranks. All that, plus Batman\u2019s gonna play with a bunch of crazy new toys and kick all kinds of butt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is a return, of sorts, for Layman who worked in Editorial at WildStorm a decade ago and previously wrote &#8220;ThunderCats&#8221; comics for the publisher&#8217;s West Coast arm. Though, as he notes, &#8220;Detective&#8221; marks his DCU debut on one of the most successful books of the New 52 relaunch.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comicbookresources.com\/?page=article&amp;id=39541\">&#8220;Chew&#8217;s&#8221; John Layman Takes A Bite Out Of DC&#8217;s &#8220;Detective Comics&#8221; &#8211; Comic Book Resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each month, readers of the Image series &#8220;Chew&#8221; meet one of the oddest crime solvers in comics as Tony Chu eats his way into madcap conspiracy theories and intrigue.
