Autobiografía friki de Paul Dini con momentos muy inspirados. Creo que le ha servido más a él, para exorcizar sus demonios, que al resto del mundo.

A dark but hopeful true story. I really related to Paul Dini in a lot of ways.

An incredible collision of Paul Dini's life altering attack and his career of working on Batman. It gave me a whole new respect and view of Paul Dini. Highly recommended for the Batman fans.

I had heard about this from a friend, but lost track of it and then happened upon it at the library. It's a bio of part of Dini's life, him getting mugged and going through a crisis which he thankfully overcomes. It also shows you what would have been an awesome batman animated episode featuring none other than Gaiman's Dream, but was sadly never made. It's more a story for Dini. But it was a cool read and offers some insight into the man who made some great contributions to the widely praised Batman animated series.
Good stuff!
Good stuff!

This book is a lot of fun. Paul Dini tells his story (the story is framed as Paul pitching his story) of his recovery from an assault some twenty years before this book. At the time, he was writing Batman and Tiny Toons for Warner Brothers. The story itself follows how he first became interested in cartoons/comics, his assault, and how he was able to get back into writing.
In his recovery, he struggles with his own self-doubts in the form of famous Batman villains. Nearly every one makes an appearance, each fitting seamlessly into Dini's own narrative. In doing this, he not only challenges his own issues but also the characters themselves outside of his own story.
It's a clever story that reads easily and was a joy watching it progress.

Dark Night tells the story of Paul Dini's experiences while recovering from a violent mugging. At times hard to read--but also hard to put down--Dini's story is truly touching. He uses Batman and many of your favorite villains to work through his own fears and doubts during his slow recovery. Dini’s internal struggles with agoraphobia, drinking, and disillusionment are brought to life as a battle between Batman and Joker which is wonderful in its execution. I can’t imagine I’ll ever stop recommending this book to friends and strangers alike.

I really enjoyed the hell out of this autobiographical comic. I have been told by many people to definitely pick up this book and check it out. It's really great for Paul Dini to allow to open himself up in order to let us into what was going through his mind as he dealt with his injuries and during his recovery period. It's graphic where it needs to be but also has some moments of levity. I really liked how the rogues gallery were a facet of Dini's psyche in this book especially. Very quick read and really nicely done.
