It would be a travesty if he didn't. Anyone hear anything?

Dini and Morrison will be off from the Bat books for a time, during which the fallout of "R.I.P." takes place. Sometime in 09, they'll return to their respective titles.

I hope he'll be back after the RIP arc as well. If not as the main writer/plotter then as a contributing writer (one to two issue story arcs) rotating in and out with others.

I guess that's better than nothing. :)

I certainly hope he comes back. His is the only Bat related book I'm enjoying right now.

I enjoy Morrison's and Dini's respective takes on Batman, obviously for completely different reasons. :tongue:

Has it ever been mentioned or reported that he will definitely be back?

Dan Didio recently said at the Baltimore Comicon that Dini will be on a "Batman book" next year but did not specify Detective. This makes me think that Dini may be leaving Tec to launch the rumored Bad Girls of Gotham series.

I hope he gets both. The More of Dini's Gotham the better.

Dini's Detective is amazing! I can't imagine him away from Batman.

Ooh that would be a treat. After not hearing anything about it in awhile I've begun to worry that the Bad Girls comic idea has been abandoned by DC.

If Dini leaves the book then so do I. His amazing done in one and pehnominal two part stories really help rekindle my love for the character. If he isn't comming back I may just stick with Batman for a bit, and see how I like the fallout from RIP. Even if I drop Detective, I'd pick up a Zatanna(or pretty much any other) series written by him in a heart beat.

Sorry to be a downer but the only Dini Detective stories I have really enjoyed were the Facade and Globe stories. The rest has just been so so in my opinion. And I do not care for the female Ventriloquist.

Sometime in 09, they'll return to their respective titles.Hopefully if Batman sells well without him he won't be coming back.


Dini .. will be off from the Bat books for a time, during which the fallout of "R.I.P." takes place.That's terrible news! Yet another reason to hate RIP :(


Sometime in 09, they'll return to their respective titles.Hopefully he will actually come back.

Another reason to love R.I.P

Dini's had good stuff here and there, but it hasnt been as good as I know he can be. It doesnt help either when it's obvious no current Bat Family writer is in Morrison's leauge presently and can't match his cerebral nature. Batman is HIS right now, modern, fresh, new, everything else just feels so....1990s.

And Morrison coming back with him too... Darn so that means he'll still be the head honcho for the bat-universe. I don't know why Dini isn't given the lead for the Bat-books you would think they would be all over him masterminding the Bat-universe considering his reputation from the DCAU.

That won't stop his coming back. The story doesn't end with "R.I.P." and "Final Crisis". That's why Morrison is coming back in 09. He has to finish the story that he started.

Same here.


I dont care about GM or Batman main series at all.

Who needs some lame event or Bat-men stuff,ninjas when you have the crime side of Batman in Tec.

Really? I've enjoyed the hell out of Dini's done in one Batman stories. And he has toldsome downright fantastic tales, his Christmas story with Robin and the Joker last year was a perfect comic, and the 2 parter with Bats and Zatanna that followed a couple months later was great too. I don't know anyone who read that who saw the end of Part one coming.
