About the author
Paul Dini
726 books719 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

A really nice emotional issue! I also loved seeing the original character designs for all the characters in the flashbacks!

Oukej, co se tady zase děje? :D
Proč mám pocit, že vždycky když mě to zase začne bavit přijde nějaká zhulená veverka aby mi to zkazila. Mám strašný pocit přešlapování na místě v podstatě každý číslo, a když začínáme pořádně řešit Jasona tak se to odbude takhle? Jako vážně? Však jste se měli vysrat na všechny ty předchozí anabáze s všemožnýma postavama na jedno použití a měli jste od začátku rozvíjet tohle a bylo by to stokrát lepší řešení.
Oukej, furt není konec a hrozí, že to bude mít úžasně chytrý finále. Ale v tuhle chvíli to po novém čísle vidím jako velký zklamání a čekal jsem víc. Uvidíme, příběh úplně neskutečně hapruje a to dělení jednoho sešitu na dva tomu vůbec nepomáhá.

September 27, 2020The Red Hood story continues...
The BTAS red hood story continues. The characterisation of Jason Todd is spot on and gives an interesting new costume design for him. Things escalate until the explosive final pages.

Half-baked and uninspired.
This feels like DC hired these guys to cram in a ton of popular comic characters to sell their Adventures Continues action figures. The dialogue is uninspired, the situations and character pop-ins are half-baked, and they’re not even bothering to get the visual continuity of TAS correct. And while we’re on the topic of art, it sucks. It’s so boring and sloppy. Such a bummer. I was excited for this series.

Well, this is getting better: it's pretty dark for a tie-in to the original animated show, but I suspect they're appealing to the people who watched it when it aired and grew up. The medium grew up with the audience.
It's why they'll even touch these darker stories, like St. Dumas, Azrael and Red Hood, in my opinion. It's somehow not quite as dark as the original storylines, but definitely edgy for the show.
And some of the changes are absolutely excellent, but also required by the shorter page count and storyline they have here, but getting to the reveal this quickly feels so, so brutal. Cathartic, but brutal.
The Red Hood is not taking any of Batman's shit, either, and going back, Batman doesn't fail Jason Todd, his second Robin, in the same way he did in the original Under the Red Hood storyline - but he fails just as spectacularly and Jason is just as angry at that as he was in the original storyline.
It feels like he's more angry, but I suspect the heightened emotion is a side effect of the shortened story: he can't really play it out, so. it seems more angry than planned and slowly executed even if it's clear he planned this out very carefully in the previous issues, and this one as well.
I'm enjoying it because of the differences, though; if it was the same storyline, but shortened, it would be incredibly disappointing, because it wouldn't have the same gut punch the original comics did. This, however, is both short and sweet and ends up being incredibly satisfying.

Classic Scarecrow!

I kinda wonder whether Jason's encounter with Scarecrow in some way inspired Crane to update his look.
