About the author
Paul Dini
726 books718 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

O poznání lepší než minulé číslo ale furt slabší. Nevím ale určité části mě přijdou prostě blbý a hlavně jak pořád říkám strašně zběsilý, scénáristi mají v úmyslu tam nacpat vše a dobře to nefunguje. Na art nelze říct křivého slova, ostatně jako vždy. Ale mám docela hype na další číslo, Joker snad bude lepší a dostane více prostoru než jeden sešit.

Wow. Not only did this story not go where I was expecting but it was dark. Possibly one of the bleakest moments for one of regular rogues. The set up at the end suggests that maybe a red hood beat down is coming up. Maybe it's going to get darker...

Another fun issue!

Definitely better than the past few crumby issues. This actually read more like BTAS. Art is still really inconsistent from page-to-page, and it never fails to distract me. Part of the enduring appeal of this series is the look and feel of it, please take the time to capture it properly.

Azrael en el universo Adventures
Es grato ver la adaptación de un personaje tan controversial cómo Azrael en este estilo. Si bien el rediseño recuerda a "El Fantasma" o a "The Reaper", es adecuado para el personaje. Bastan dos capítulos para dejarnos establecidos pasado y presente de un personaje que mantiene la esencia de aquel Azrael de los 90.

This is more than a good series of comic books. Illustrations are eye -pop. Script is well written and thoughtful. The plot premise captivates. I personally prefer this series over the others -- as good as those others are. This series serves to entertain. Entertainment is what the Batman character is all about. This series goes about accomplishing that goal excellently well. Rock on 🔥

This comic sets up the storyline I'm most looking forward to, and I was happy to read it just for that. The main storyline, about Azrael tracking down a sacred relic, was very in character for him and I enjoyed it as well.

Probably my favorite issue, so far. But can't wait for the next, given the ending!

Another exciting instalment that slides gracefully into the next chapter. I love this series.

So with how Nora is here, feels pretty clear to me that Batman Adventures (2003) (and probably the other related comic series) are a separate continuity.
