Is it a mini or a one shot? Release date? Who is the writer? The cover has me very interested, but more info please.

I wrote about it a couple of weeks ago http://comicsbeat.com/on-the-scene-dundee-comics-day/ (spoilers removed, obv)

Hughes finished with a “top secret project” he has recently completed that he wasn’t allowed to say much about but had “special dispensation” to show some pictures from. What followed was a few very intriguing pages indeed of a Batman story, the first Batman that Hughes has “written and drawn”. It features the Neoplastic Man who speaks in complete anagrams, and Tal-Dar, an older character that featured in the first Batman comic Hughes read when he was younger. The pages are gorgeous, with suitably clever design. All very intriguing!

When I first began my internet journey lo so many years ago my wife said that as long as I didn't use a Bat reference for the email and such she was fine. I came up with "namtab" which she approved only to later realize it was Batman spelled backwards.
