A few surprises...
First, a couple of new Misty pics from her big photo shoot last weekend:


I like this one. I think it has potential as a good publicity shot. What do you think?


Acting squirrely between shots. I don't think she'll use this one, but it's cute.


"Make a wish..."
Mmmm, got to love those magic sparkles. She took this one for me.

In other news...

It's been rumored here on livejournal and now I can confirm it. I'll be writing a ton of new Batman comics this year, along with a very special graphic novel starring two DCU darlings near and dear to my heart. Check back here as I will be posting more details soon.

Is this the chance for a Rashy/Joker crossover?

...

Seriously - great news dude. Hopefully we'll get a good old run of Batman again.

Oh man! You guessed it!

Seriously back at you, thanks for the nice words. I'm looking forward to hanging with the Bat again.

Damn, that's not a bad idea. Hundreds of years in the future, Kamandi finds the Haunted Tank and lets loose a little righteous hell on all those snotty talking tigers.

Very cute pics, though I'm sure that just comes naturally for Misty. That middle one has a bit of the crazy-eyes thing going on... though I keep changing my mind as to whether that makes it better or worse than the rest.

Also, I had a quick question. After Wondercon in SF (2004) we went to an excellent Italian restaurant. You said it was one of your favorites. I've been trying to remember the name, with no luck. My girlfriend and I are going to the Wondercon again this year, and wanted to take her there for dinner. Could you remind me what the place was called again, and perhaps where it is?

That was Capp's Corner, 1600 Powell St. at Green. Best ravioli and meat sauce in the city. I don't have the number, but San Fran 411 should help you out there. You may want to make a reservation as the place tends to fill up quickly. It's popular with locals as well as visitors and on Saturdays lots of people eat there before seeing Beach Blanket Babylon next door at Club Fugazi.

We'll be at Wondercon, too. Should be around the DC booth or wandering the floor. See you there, we hope.

Because that would just be a thousand worlds of divine!!

If those two characters are Harley and Ivy, I may very well explode in a shower of joyful fangirl then melt into a puddle of squee.

And those pictures are lovely, I totally agree with the above comments that say Misty looks like Zatanna/Zatanna looks like Misty!

I started reading Batman because of your work on TAS during the 90's, so that news totally made my day! It's even better that one of the projects involves Zatanna and Black Canary.

The only thing that would have thrilled me more would have been if the two 'darlings' were Harley and Ivy. One can hope right?

I just finished reading the newsarama article...speaking as one of many who've greatly missed you in JLU, I have to say that the Detective Comics news makes me ecstatic. I rarely buy Batman comics, but if you're onboard, you've got a guarenteed customer for every issue with your byline. It's been a long time since I've been this excited about comics. No doubt you're already plotting away for upcoming issues...I would wish you the best of luck, but good writing is more a matter of inspiration and diligence, so the best of those instead.

WOW! Misty looks UGLY!! LOL.. She's gorgeous!! I like the last one as a publicity shot. Please tell her I say "hello". Wonderful to hear you will be with The Bat Man. I'll go out and buy a few. The Boy would love to read them.

I think the sparkly one would make the best publicity shot. It seems to capture the whole message.

As for your new writing, YAY! One more reason to head into the local comic shop. Copies of Jingle Belle were liberally distributed throughout my Xmas gifts to my friends this year, so all are aware of the Good Dini Writing.

So, about JLU...? (hee! hee!)

the only reason I began picking up DC books was because of your work on B:Tas.
To hear that you will be now writing Detective is astounding and it also means that I will continue to but Detective Comics-which I was honestly planning on dropping before the announcement.

Best of luck on your run.

Mr. Dini, the only thing that would make me happier than your return to Batman would be a return to Harley! I'm another person who got into DC because of B:TAS. The DVD releases are a godsend, and they're even better than I remember them being as a kid.

And the sparkly picture is awesome!

Please convince her to show up at cons in that outfit. Especially with the fishnets, if she wears the complete Zatanna look.

By the way, I thought it was Shirley Walker who wrote the "Batman TAS" theme. Elfman wrote the movie version, a version of which was used in the first season of Batman shows, but the later animated shows used Walker's theme. (Which, if you hear it in "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm," is one of the most impressive themes in American animation.)

I guess I should have given props to both Danny and Shirley (Shirley first, in fact) for the original B:TAS theme. That is in fact, Shirley's redo of Danny's movie version.
