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

Out for vengeance
more great story telling and art as Jason Todd's descent into extreme vigilantism continues and now the joker is his next target. This isn't going to end well is it? I'd also like to give an extra star for including a preference to Superboy's Beppo the super-monkey :D

Bylo to fajn, ale pořád se nemůžu ubránit pocitu, že z toho lze vyždímat mnohem víc. Co chci pochválit tak kresbu, ta je sice každý číslo skvělá ale tentokrát snad byla mnohem lepší.

Not my baby!

I'd forgotten how brutal this got: even just adding in Harley Quinn. She sets him up, which is quite frankly not as bad as his mother selling him out to Joker - a part of the original story that other retellings always cut out, as that's too disturbing for most people to touch.
Still, I like Harley in the comics, and liked her on this show, so I flinch a little remembering she's part of Joker's life when he does this to Robin.
Also, I mention that it's not as long as the original Under the Red Hood storyline - but somehow this seems longer than I'd remembered. There's a lot going on here, especially for something with this art style which is a little more simplistic than most comics. (Nothing wrong with simple: it's well illustrated and perfectly matches the animated style, but so much comes through the art and sometimes the detailed art really can add to that.)
Onto issue 12. I hope Jason does come back after that, too, but I haven't read beyond 12 on my earlier reading.

Wow. Just wow. They did my boys Jason AND Tim bad. I honestly almost put the entire series down at this point. Between going "Yeah Jason is just a kid with anger issues who only cares about getting Batman to murder people" and having to read about Slade (why? He's not in the original comics, was there a large group of people I didn't see sending letters begging for him?) chapter after chapter I was ready to throw my kindle across the room. I have two copies of each issue of all the comics before Adventures Continue and this point just felt like a slap on the face.
Luckily the holiday story was actually well done. Here is to Season 2 actually being ok.

More backstory set in action and a bit of a twist in the cliffhanger. This series is a lot of fun. Reminds me of the old radio shows.

The way Joker takes down Jason here feels very in line with the feel of BTAS.

Great
Amazing part of Red Hoods story. I love how these comics develop on what could have been if the show had continued as a show.
