New Releases by Paul Dini

Some enemies refuse to stay buried. Grant Morrison (Final Crisis) joins Gotham''s greatest storytellers to resurrect one of Batman''s most dangerous legacies. The shadow of Ra''s al Ghul stretches far beyond his apparent death, leaving behind unanswered questions and unfinished designs. As fragments of his influence resurface, Batman is forced to confront a threat that operates on patience measured in centuries--one shaped by legacy, bloodline, and long memory. The investigation draws in Robin and Nightwing, binding the Bat-family together as the mystery deepens. Each revelation tightens the connection between Ra''s return and Damian Wayne''s destiny, turning a globe-spanning conspiracy into a deeply personal reckoning. Guided by an acclaimed creative team led by Grant Morrison, Paul Dini, and Peter Milligan, and brought to life by a lineup of defining Batman artists including Tony S. Daniel, Ryan Benjamin, and Freddie Williams II, this crossover unfolds across several core Bat-titles, originally released in late 2007. The Resurrection of Ra''s al Ghul stands as a defining modern event, reshaping Batman''s world and the legacy of one of his greatest foes.

When she was only seven years old, Harleen Quinzel witnessed her father being beaten up by thugs, and then arrested by the police. That night she ran away to the safest place she could think of: Coney Island amusement park. But there, pursued into the Funhouse by the men who brutalised her father, she beheld unimaginable horrors. Years later, Harleen has put her past behind her, and used her intelligence and ambition to escape her childhood of poverty with a career in psychiatry.

This is a Batman story like no other-the harrowing and eloquent autobiographical tale of writer Paul Dini’s courageous struggle to overcome a desperate situation. The Caped Crusader has been the all-abiding icon of justice and authority for generations. But in this surprising original graphic novel, we see Batman in a new light-as the savior who helps a discouraged man recover from a brutal attack that left him unable to face the world. In the 1990s, legendary writer Paul Dini had a flourishing career writing the hugely popular BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES and TINY TOON ADVENTURES. Walking home one evening, he was jumped and viciously beaten within an inch of his life. His recovery process was arduous, hampered by the imagined antics of the villains he was writing for television including the Joker, Harley Quinn and the Penguin. But despite how bleak his circumstances were, or perhaps because of it, Dini also always imagined the Batman at his side, chivvying him along during his darkest moments. A gripping graphic memoir of one writer’s traumatic experience and his deep connection with his creative material, DARK NIGHT: A TRUE BATMAN STORY is an original graphic novel that will resonate profoundly with fans. Art by the incredible and talented Eduardo Risso (100 BULLETS, TRANSMETROPOLITAN).
