If you like Batman in the "Year One" tradition, or the Dennis O'Neil "Shaman" or Jim Starlin style then get this book. Paul Dini is great. Possibly the best Batman writer of recent times.
I can't say enough good about it. Get this and then get Batman: Death and the City

With Paul Dini's return to Batman as regular writer of the monthly Detective Comics, readers were promised a back to basic stroytelling approach, with one or two part mystery stories of batman confronting his classic foes. Paul Dini delivered the stories, but after a great first issue drawn by J. H. Williams III, the quality of the artwork drops with the switch to Don Kramer as regular artist on the series.

All in all a great ... Read More

this is the best dini could do? i'm a big fan of his television work, so i had high expectations for this collection. i found it to be a near-complete disappointment. these stories didn't do a thing for me. i like the idea of self-contained stories in each issue, and some of the things dini's doing with the villains is somewhat interesting, but this book isn't doing it for me. the opening chapter is by far the strongest, but it has the benefit of being drawn by jh williams, who is an a-list artist. the rest ...
