Paul dini detective comics5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Many of the one-shots in Dini's run have become instant classics for Batman fans, including a morbid Christmas tale of The Joker holding Robin hostage while taking a joyride through Gotham City. Formerly a writer/producer of the legendary "Batman: The Animated Series," Dini's been writing "Detective Comics" since 2006, mainly telling stories contained within a single issue, something few other mainstream ongoing series embrace in this era of writing-for-the-trade and decompressed storytelling. What's that? You missed last week's Top Cow-centric Dini interview, where he dished the dirt on the return of Madame Mirage and all things DiniCartoons? Fear not, dear reader, simply follow this link and you'll be in the know.This week in REFLECTIONS, Dini focuses on his work for DC Comics. Paul Dini is back this week and still has plenty to chat about. ![]() |
