Hinsdale’s famed batpool has finally met its match, as a Burr Ridge developer has made plans to send the watery signal to the grave.

McNaughton Development bought the property in August for $1.865 million, according to the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.

Hinsdale officials approved the developer’s plan to divide the property into two separate lots, the Chicago Tribune reported, and both the pool and the 3,754-square-foot house are set to be razed.

The home’s previous owners had a son who loved Batman, so the family had an artist freehand draw the bat signal in the pool.

The property was listed at $2.7 million in Feb. 2012, and it sold on Nov. 3, 2014, for $1,795,000, according to Zillow.
