About the author
Paul Dini
726 books714 followersPaul Dini is an American television producer of animated cartoons. He is best known as a producer and writer for several Warner Bros./DC Comics series, including Star Wars: Ewoks, Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, The New Batman/Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond and Duck Dodgers. He also developed and scripted Krypto the Superdog and contributed scripts to Animaniacs (he created Minerva Mink), Freakazoid, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. After leaving Warner Bros. In early 2004, Dini went on to write and story edit the popular ABC adventure series Lost.
Paul Dini was born in New York City. He attended the Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, California on an art scholarship. He attended Emerson College in Boston, where he earned a BFA degree in creative writing. (He also took zoology classes at Harvard University.)
During college, he began doing freelance animation scripts for Filmation, and a number of other studios. In 1984, he was hired to work for George Lucas on several of his animation projects.
The episodes of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon that were written by Dini have become favorites amongst the show's fans over the internet, although despite this as well as contributing to interviews on the released box sets of the series, Dini has made no secret of his distaste for Filmation and the He-Man concept. He also wrote an episode of the Generation One Transformers cartoon series and contributed to various episodes of the Ewoks animated series, several of which included rare appearances from the Empire.
In 1989, he was hired at Warner Bros. Animation to work on Tiny Toon Adventures. Later, he moved onto Batman: The Animated Series, where he worked as a writer, producer and editor, later working on Batman Beyond. He continued working with WB animation, working on a number of internal projects, including Krypto the Superdog and Duck Dodgers, until 2004.
He has earned five Emmy awards for his animation work. In a related effort, Dini was also the co-author (with Chip Kidd) of Batman Animated, a 1998 non-fiction coffee table book about the animated Batman franchise.
Dini has also written several comics stories for DC Comics, including an acclaimed oversized graphic novel series illustrated by painter Alex Ross. (A hardcover collection of the Dini and Ross stories was published in late summer 2005 under the title The World's Greatest Superheroes.) Other books written by Dini for DC have featured his Batman Animated creation Harley Quinn as well as classic characters Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel and Zatanna.
Best known among Dini's original creations is Jingle Belle, the rebellious teen-age daughter of Santa Claus. Dini also created Sheriff Ida Red, the super-powered cowgirl star of a series of books set in Dini's mythical town of Mutant, Texas. Perhaps his greatest character contribution is the introduction of Harley Quinn (along with designs by Bruce Timm) on Batman: The Animated Series.
In 2001 Dini made a cameo appearance in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back during the scene in which Jay and Silent Bob wear ridiculous looking costumes for a film being directed by Chris Rock, in which Dini says to them "you guys look pretty bad ass".
In 2006, Dini became the writer for DC Comics' Detective Comics. That same year, he announced that he was writing a hardcover graphic novel starring Zatanna and Black Canary. In 2007, he was announced as the head writer of that company's weekly series, Countdown. Paul Dini is currently co-writing the script for the upcoming Gatchaman movie. Dini is also currently writing a series for Top Cow Productions, based in a character he created, Madame Mirage.
Paul Dini is an active cryptozoologist, hunter and wildlife photographer. On a 1985 trip to Tasmania, he had a possible sighting of a Thylacine. He has also encountered a number of venomous snakes, a Komodo Dragon and a charging Sumatran Rhi

"Ho Ho Ho! The 'man in red' is here to pass out the presents! Would you rather have a concussion or a loose filling? Oh, heck - It's Christmastime! Take both!" -- Robin, simultaneously kicking two of Ridder's henchmen in their respective jaws, in the yuletide-themed tale 'A Christmas Riddle'
Based on the later years of Batman: The Animated Series - when said TV show was retitled The Adventures of Batman & Robin during the final two seasons - this volume collects ten spry standalone stories (with the exception of the connected final two) that could've been based on actual episodes. While there aren't a lot of surprises - expect villainous appearances from 'the usual suspects' Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, Riddler, and Ra's al Ghul (although Catwoman is conspicuously absent from the proceedings) in the customary crime caper plots - the illustrations are strongly reminiscent of the style of the series and the writing is fairly solid if not streamlined for an all-ages or somewhat family-friendly manner. Actually, the one bombshell - and I use that term intentionally - was the appearance of Poison Ivy using her magic kiss which turned the Boy Wonder (depicted as a college student in his alter ego of Dick Grayson, so he's at least eighteen or so years old to skirt a certain distastefulness) into her personal 'love slave.' While humorous it was also at times gleefully sensual and even a little boundary-pushing in the portrayal of this brief but saucy relationship. Holy hot stuff, Batman!

Pretty close to capturing the magic of Batman the Animated Series, it mirrors its predecessor in art and character interpretations, but lacks the intricate and engaging narratives that makes the show so timeless. It's a collection of shorts which would act as standalone episodes in television format, and they're all good, if a little childish and shallow. Definitely a blast from the past, nostalgia for the show definitely works in this collection's favour.

Very reminiscent of the animated series, and does manage to capture its essence. Some of the collected stories, however, lack the depth that made the original so memorable.

The hype over Batman the Animated Series is deserved. Cashing in on a classic with a comic makes sense. But much like the show there are always a few clunkers. The TV show while a "Kids" show was actually not made for kids, this comic seems to have taken the for kids thing way to seriously. I was hoping with the history of the show my final grade would not be average.
October 14, 2025
Another gem from the Paul Dini Universe , and once again it delivers in gritty , entertaining Batman stories that reignites your nostalgia for the Og Batman adventures cartoon show and at the same time delivers on stellar stories that feel true to the character.

My kids and I want to read more comics of Batman but specifically from the world of Batman Animated Series. We finished the four volume comic series of Batman in the 90s. Fortunately we found some more under the series title of Batman and Robin Adventure!
There’s great stories here that my girls and I enjoyed. The first story is a “Two Timer.” This story is told appropriately in two parts/two issues. This plot is about whether or not Two-Face is able to change or will his villainous side win over. The next story is “Christmas Riddle” where the Riddler is scheming during Christmas time. Then there’s the story called “Bird Cage” which my kids and I have already read before in one of the Batman Animated series comics; its about the Penguin scheming and he does so to protect rare birds. Following this is a story about the Joker called “Second Banana” and my girls really like this one and they even laughed. I like the next story of Round Robin which a tabloid wrote a fake news story that Batman needs a new Robin and there’s all these wannabe Robins that start appearing and trying to do things to get Batman to want them. It is a pretty good story line. Next is “His Master’s Voice” and after that “Harley and Ivy and Robin?” followed by a two part story concerning Ra's al Ghul and his daughters.
I really enjoyed these stories and the same screen writer for the Animated Series cartoon is also the writer with these stories and the quality shows compared to some of the newer Batman stories today put out by DC. I love how you see the characters in these stories and they fascinate you and there’s no need for woke propaganda that feels like someone is preaching at you. I recommend this volume!

Solid storytelling paired with good art, all you could hope for on a comic based on the animated tv show. One minor sticking point is this is supposed to be the Batman and Robin title (not the main Batman title) and one issue had no appearance of Robin rather was all Batman.

This is definitely good for what it is. A tie-in comic to the juggernaut that is Batman The Animated Series. Some of it feels very much at home in that universe, and others... not so much. On the whole, I’d recommend it for longtime fans of BTAS, light reading or even as a good, mostly-worry-free launching point into the characters for kids.

DC capitalizes off the commercial/critical success of Batman: The Animated series with some impressively, reliably good tie-in comics. It’s a cash grab. But it’s a good cash grab. I get more of the most visually appealing and consistent Batman universe, which forgives its origins. Also, DC is a business. Monopolizing on successful products is kinda what it’s supposed to do.
Two stand-out stories: Two-Timer and His Master’s Voice.
Two-Timer shows the depth’s of the Joker’s sadism, derailing a nearly-recovered Harvey Dent in a plot that Batman hasn’t made contingencies for. His motive? Boredom. He’s been locked in Arkham and just seems to want to keep himself from getting rusty. I like the nearly forgotten aspect of Bat/Bruce really wanting to get people rehabilitated.
His Master’s Voice features Scarface/The Ventriloquist, not someone I’m intimately familiar with, but the story is well written, showing the main character’s struggle with his damaged personality.

”Two Timer” Part One begins with Batman & Robin in action. The next morning Bruce Wayne and Grace Lamont visiting Two-Face in jail. He’s trying to make decisions without the coin.
Of course, the Joker has to imply to Harvey that Bruce is doing something else with Miss Lamont.
Joker further calls Harley Quinn and gets her to take incriminating pictures of Bruce and Grace at a social event. She is kissing him on the cheek.
Harvey Dent reacts as expected - goes crazy and escapes from Arkham.
”Beautiful! The Joker just happened to be bored, so he cost Dent his sanity!”
A great start! 5 stars.

Something I haven’t seen before is that in this comic, Harvey’s hands are also marred and discolored!

If you're like me and couldn't get enough of that wonderful TV show that was Batman: The Animated Series, Batman & Robin Adventures, Vol. 1 will scratch that itch and then some. The book reads as a short series of episodes that follow the adventures of the dynamic duo while also featuring classic villains like Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Scarface, and Ra's and Talia al Ghul. The writing and the art are so on point in this that you can picture yourself watching these unaired episodes of BTAS.
While I would've appreciated an overarching story-arc, it is definitely a recommended read for fans of the series. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

It's been far too long since I've read any Batman comics, which is a shame. I grew up watching the Adam West series, the cartoons, and of course, the movies. I'd also pick up a comic when I could get my hands on one, but I honestly don't remember the last time that was.
This collection of 10 comics was fun. It reintroduced me to my favorite villains (the Penguin and Riddler were my favorites in just about everything) and it was fun to see Barbara Gordon again. The stories were fun and it was nice to just sit and read comics for a while. Batman comics never struck me as mindless and it's always fun to read about what's been going on in Gotham.

3.8 stars, and a decent portion of that is nostalgia.
The stories where ethos is front & center are the best tales from this version of the dark knight. Batman's rogues gallery is full of troubled minds, misunderstood motivations, and systematic labeling. For instance, Poison Ivy cares about the planet's wellbeing. Nothing wrong with that. But stealing to fund her crusade or maiming folks during those efforts makes her bad. She's eccentric, for sure. But not evil. Same could be said of Penguin who wants social equality.
Despite the average rating coming to 3.8 stars, I don't round up, and I'm tired of seeing the same villains (talking about you Joker). Thus, 3 stars.

Pretty good book! There’s quite a difference for me between Issues written by Paul Dini, and those that are not. Dini’s are much superior.
The art was a little inconsistent too. Sometimes it looks great (just like the show) and other times it looks poor/silly.
The book started off very well with a good Two-Face story. The joker issue was a little weak in comparison but I enjoyed the Ventriloquist story, as well as the Harley/Ivy issue by Dini.
Majority of the stories are pretty good and I enjoyed the book overall. It’s like watching episodes of the show.
Would recommend to any Batman comic reader or a fan of the animated series.

This series, like the "Batman Adventures," is based of the Batman animated series. And, quite frankly, they're a ton of fun. I particularly like that Robin is highlighted more in these (obviously). I don't know if Robin can technically be my favorite superhero because he's a sidekick, but... he's basically my favorite. I particularly enjoyed the comic where a tabloid printed that Batman was looking for a new Robin. Batman trying to avoid the different "applicants" while still solving a case made me chuckle. I'll definitely be checking out the other volumes in this series.

Awesome
As always, the comics based off of Batman the Animated Series are excellent! My favorites from this collection were "Round Robin" (I love stories where we get a look at the interaction of media and capes) and "His Master's Voice" (the look into the Ventriloquist's backstory was amazing). "Harley and Ivy and Robin?" was a bit squicky, all things considered, especially due to the age difference and the take presented in the last couple of panels, but overall the collection was great.

Just like "Batman The Animated Series", each issue in Batman & Robin Adventures is a short, fully formed story. It's truly magical what Paul Dini can convey in a one issue story-line...motivation, character development, relationship growth & action.
With half of the rogues gallery, and a highlight on Robin (and Batgirl in one issue), we have a classic Batman comic-book collection. Art is perfect and nostalgic. (Bruce Wayne is the classic Animated Series: pre-nose-job, and brown eyes.)

A wonderful collection of stories drawn in an artistic style that closely mirrors the look of Batman: The Animated Series. Well-written and immaculately drawn, this collection evokes everything you’d imagine out of a Batman story. A must-read for any Batman fan, especially younger readers, or those who (like me) mourn the recent passing of Kevin Conroy, who so iconically voiced Batman/Bruce Wayne on the show.

More Batman adventures in the animated series universe? Yeah!
The art seems a little bit better than in the main series.
This are just similar to the main series, a lot of one shots in the animated series universe using all of the characters you know.
This is all ages for me, from the art to the stories that they tell.
If you expect something serious from this set of stories this is not for you.

The Batman Adventures family of books were some of the most underrated comics of the '90s. This book is proof that an all-ages title can be smart and dynamic and doesn't have to be mired in juvenile nonsense. Top-notch material.

Super plaisant à lire!
On a bien l’impression d’être dans l’univers de la Série animée!
Ce ne sont pas les scénarios les plus originaux, mais c’est réconfortant de retrouver les vieux ennemies d’un univers que l’on adore! :)
Pour les fans!

A great collection of stories that seem perfectly pulled from the animated series with great art and pacing. The only blemish is issue 5 which has pretty suspect art drawn by someone who seemed to only have one chance (spoiler: he blew it )

A 3.5 for me. I would have loved these stories as a kid.

Great! Relived my childhood
What a great comic. I enjoyed Batman the animated series as a boy and I enjoyed reading this comic and reliving the Batman Adventures.

I came across this collection in my library and thought it was cool, but my brain needed to see it in the best light possible, so I learned that the collection consisted of at least three volumes. I want to say that I loved the Batman: The Animated Series. I always found it odd that they renamed it the Batman & Robin Adventures for some reason; it wasn't like the radical change in art that was the Kids WB series. Still, if this could bring back happy memories, then I was all for it. I take it these stories were ideas thrown out, but couldn't be adapted because they were too short.
Two Timer. Harvey Dent is on the fast track to recovery as Grace Lamont returns. But the last thing Joker wants is for Two-Face to be gone, so he and Harley engineer a stunt to keep Two-Face the same murderous man that they know.
Christmas Riddle. The Riddler goes to work on a scheme to make some money off a society club. A club that Thomas Wayne once belonged to.
Birdcage. A silly bird caper with the Penguin.
Second Banana. The Joker is in a rut, and he's acting out.
Round Robin. A tabloid is taking advantage of Robin. The Batman Animated Series' debut of Carrie Kelly.
His Master's Voice. Arnold Wesker is trying to shake off his murderous personality of Scarface.
Harley and Ivy, and Robin? Robin is being manipulated by two women, and he couldn't be happier.
Tears. Batgirl fights Talia al Ghul by making some makeshift tear gas.
Blood of the Demon. Batman takes on another genocidal scheme of Ra's al Ghul.
This was lovely. Short films of adventures that never made the animated series, but they are fun.
