Kidd has written and designed book covers for several DC Comics publications, including The Complete History of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, The Golden Age of DC Comics: 365 Days, and Jack Cole and Plastic Man. He also designed Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross and wrote an exclusive Batman/Superman story illustrated by Alex Ross for the book. In 1996, Kidd designed and wrote Batman: Collected. Kidd also worked with fellow Batman collector Saul Ferris on another book of a more particular subject, Bat-Manga!: The Secret History of Batman in Japan, which was released for sale in October 2008. In 2010, Kidd collaborated with the writing staff of the animated series Batman: The Brave and the Bold on the episode Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases. The episode contained a segment that was heavily inspired by the Batman cartoon from the 1960s. And in 2012 he wrote Batman: Death by Design with art by Dave Taylor. Recently he designed a new cover for Dark Knight III.
