I love this new Ventriloquist. The fact that she would bed her doll takes mental sickness to a whole new level. I can't wait for her origin story.

Is this laying ground work for Batman RIP, or is that only in Morrison's Batman?

@Brandon2: I think only Morrison
i've never been a pick bats fan. I like the stories, but never enough to collect on a regular basis. But I have been picking up Detective everytime Dini was on. I was hoping for the story to all come together, but I'm down with the solid one (or two) and dones he's been writing
Batman + Zatanna + Dini = Gold

Um, this is going to be a load of badassery. I can't wait.

It's a shame there's been so much start/stop with Dini's run, but what he has done has been super-enjoyable. I think the consistency of Nguyen on art will help things feel a bit more cohesive, as well - he is absolutely killin' it on those covers, too.

So Dini is on the book for good then? At least for a little while?

Just when I was thinking this book could go, Dini firmly pulls me back in. Probably my favorite issue of his run so far.
Make Z a regular Dini, we know you want to.

I never thought about it much before, but Batman and Zatanna make a nice team. Go Dini!

That whole scene with Zatanna and Batman really got my attention. I love those two together!!

Apart from the scene at the bar with Bruce & Zatanna (which was VERY good) I thought the book was average. Not bad ... just nothing spectacular. I don't understand why everyone loved it so much ...

I was thinking about dropping this book.. but a Dini written Zatanna/Bats teamup I can't pass up.
