  Paul Dini revitalized both Mr. Freeze and Hush into two of the coolest Batman villains. I hope one day he’ll give the same treatment to the court of Owls.

  Riddler as a P.I is a creative choice that probably should've stuck.

  Greatest injustice to Dini was not letting him finish the Arkham trilogy

  Between this and the animated series, Paul Dini’s depiction of Batman’s world feels so authentic. When I read any other modern run I feel like I’m reading the writer version of it, putting his own voice first over the characters, but with Paul I feel like I’m reading BATMAN. <br><br>Truly this was the last great era for Batman comics.

  Real ones never forgot, Paul Dini&apos;s that guy. His Zatanna run is great too, too bad it got cut short.

  I loved Dini&apos;s run. &nbsp;He really fleshed out Gotham&apos;s history like the four families that built the city (the Waynes, Elliots, Cobblepot, and Sionis), why so many theme parks were built, and the legal businesses that support super crime. &nbsp;Sadly all of this was dropped by Snyder&apos;s Court of Owls.

  Dini is without a doubt one the best Batman writers and his run isn&apos;t an exception; sadly he was very ahead of his time because the editorial and readers alike were all too focused on the big Crisis events and Morrison&apos;s run on Batman just had more attention due to Damian&apos;s debut i think.<br>Quite ironic how nowadays a big portion of Batman fans are tired of the big crossovers, war-like battles and events on Batman comics and instead want a comeback to more self-contained and small scale stories, focusing on Batman as a detective; which is exactly what Paul Dini did on his run yet almost no one seemed to care.

  Probably in my top five Batman runs of all time. Whether it was a one-shot or a multi-part arc, Paul Dini consistently delivered.

  Dini&apos;s stories always achieve the most basic and important achievement in any story: making the reader go &quot;wow, what happens next?&quot; and without schmuck bait

  This was honestly such an amazing era for batman fans, Paul Dini certainly restandardized alot of the elements for batman as a whole and made things fun while making much more sense. What an amazing writer to say the least

  I wish Paul Dini came back to writing Batman, he&apos;s so good
