[@robertwild9447]

Man, imagine how much better Arkham Knight would have been if Paul Dini wrote the script for it :(

[@JazGalaxy]

+Robert Wild I don't know if Dini would have done it. I think he would have come up with a better plot instead of just ripping off Hush and The Red Hood.

[@katrinatecxidor4871]

it's a good game..actually regarded as one of the best of all time

[@JazGalaxy]

Katrina Tecxidor Arkham Knight? O_o I think most people have the opinion that it's the worst of the series. Frequent complaints are the underwhelming plot, the poor implementation and control of the Batmobile and the general lack of interest in a fourth game in that particular series.

[@jakemiddleton4373]

+JazGalaxy I wouldn't say it had an underwhelming plot or lack of interest at all, at least in the main story. I think I'd regard it higher than Arkham City if the side missions weren't mostly repetitive and recycled. But the plot and execution as a whole was fucking great, in my opinion anyway. Best of last year for me but that wasn't the hardest thing to do

[@JazGalaxy]

Jake Middleton I'm curious if you had read Hush or The Red Hood's story. Most people who were familiar with the comics seemed to find the story cliche and the mystery obvious before the game and even started.

[@06mustangCE]

Damn. I didn't know who this guy was at first but apparently he's played a fairly major part in my life. And continues to. ...Shit. I'm impressed.

[@kingfaraday2627]

Dini made my childhood alongside Timm. He's a true legend.

[@ABatcaverna]

Paul Dini forever!

[@TheTurbanator123]

THIS MAN MADE MY CHILDHOOD

[@ttandc]

+BrownTownReviews Ditto

[@feralbunnydonut8495]

Holy shit last time I came this early It ended my marriage.

[@spookytuesday17]

nice!

[@feralbunnydonut8495]

+Rodimus Prime ....yea it's a pretty common bad pun sorry you didn't show up early enough to use it

[@leepicciotto]

This comment was lame the first time I read it but at least that person originated it instead of passing it off as their own.

[@mjspresents]

That is so awesome! Can't believe I grew up on an ORIGINAL Bat-villain creation. Harley Quinn -- Paul Dini, praise you, dude! You kick ass! Thank you Kevin Smith for this show! Finally get to see the faces we never see, the people who make this happen. Awesome.

[@claireevergreen6941]

I've unknowingly watched and liked everything Mr. Dini has been involved with. Thanks to whoever made this interview possible

[@sarahbynum97]

This is not the first time he talked with Kevin listen to the podcast

[@Drea1239232]

BAS was the fabric of my childhood. It's one of the sole reasons I LOVE Batman. Kodos to Dini & the rest of the creators of the show.

[@giancarlozolfonoon9510]

every episode with Paul Dini on FMoB is amazing. You guys need to add him as a third guest when you interview other folks. Makes me so happy when i listen to him and Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin talk!!

[@navy0287]

Bernardin is rocking that USS Midway T-shirt. I remember sailing with her multiple times when I served aboard the USS Cochrane while both ships were berthed in Yokosuka, Japan. :)

[@NihilusShadow]

When I was a kid I never actually grew up with comic books, but I did grow up with Batman: The Animated Series. Paul Dini is a god.

[@ttandc]

Holy crap! Paul Dini LIVING LEGEND! I would not be where I am today ( computer animation ) if it was not for his works. Excellent show today guys :D

[@TheTantric1030]

I love how excited and overwhelmingly positive Kevin is.

[@rhynonymous]

Paul Dini is just so damn... incredibly amazing! And I really love Rocksteady and everything they do but I really wish they would have let Paul finish off the Arkham trilogy and write Arkham Knight , even with most of what they wrote he would've added so much more to the story. I think they just tried to do too many new things and lost focus of what we really love those games for...the stories! I actually really liked the story up until about halfway through and then they completely spoiled the rest of the game and plot with ONE 30 second scene.

[@scifigurli]

In your interview with Paul Dini you mentioned how "Mad Love" was a great "entry comicbook" - Could you guys do a show where you list your top DC entry level comics? It will help me spread the love to my friends and family! THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOMENESS. This show is my favorite... everything.

[@BrandonMcBarrettFace]

Man, this dude had such an impact on my childhood. You're a titan of creative entertainment, Mr. Dini. Once my kid is old enough to actually register what a cartoon is we're going to be laughing at Tiny Toons and air punching in front of Batman: The Animated Series as we wear our capes.

[@crizzlevideo]

they need paul dini to write for batflecks solo movies.

[@chrisjackson1244]

genius

[@delfunkster]

What a great get for an interview!!!

[@ChrisShieldsEnt]

As someone born in 1994 this man has worked on almost everything that has shaped my childhood thank you Kevin for this gem and thank you Paul Dini for being apart of and the reason for my timeless animated series, video games and stories. Thank you

[@aperfecte]

Loving all the guest you have been inviting.

[@darkclaw3296]

Thank you so much for having Dini back Kevin!! Funny enough, I had been listening to the early FoB Dini dossiers episodes recently. Batman TAS is my childhood. Thank you again!

[@NathanRyan1234]

Great show. Thanks all involved.

[@kencoleman5007]

The Boba Fett helmet is part of why people geek out of the Mandalorian culture it was inspired by. There was magnificent stuff with Deathwatch, and then this season on Rebels where Sabine crossed paths with Fenn Rau. .............. So awesome.

[@NegroTarantino]

This guy is responsible for me getting my ass kicked all through Harlem in my pre teen and teen years for being a Black Geek. Thank You!

[@NegroTarantino]

pollenontheshoot Bruh I try to tell people they have never played D&D until they played with a Dungeon Master who grew up in the "Hood". HAHA

[@CrookedShoeTales]

Negro Tarantino LOL! I was the pure comic nerd of south side. I got old friends and family to this day that call me up asking me who certain characters are now that all these movies are out. "You should of read the comics!" I say before I give them the entire dossier. I love flexing my nerd muscle!!

[@CrookedShoeTales]

***** FOREVER!!!!

[@tyler20647brad]

Negro Tarantino love the username 😂. And I always heard of it but I guess it’s true growing up a black nerd is harder

[@xxsilentreatmentxx]

Dini is almost 60! He looks like he's about 35

[@richarddufault]

I like the way all guests seem freakishly tall.

[@joshgodawful]

+Richard Dufault I'm starting to think Smith and Bernardin are 5 feet tall, or shorter.

[@lisawintler-cox1641]

My husband and I have seen Kevin Smith a couple of times, but once he went into the audience and held a mike to a person. He was so much shorter than I thought he was. They say how tall you visualize someone is how much you respect them. I evidently think he's jolly and green

[@PlayNiceFolks]

One of the reasons Harley Quinn became so well known and liked, was because that TV show gave SO much time to the story of the villains, Batman TAS 1990s~., Two-Face (parts one and two), Birds of a Feather, Mr. Freeze (in general), and a bunch of others, in which you kind of don't see too much of Batman, but see a more sympathetic kind of gray area for the villain story-line, rather than black and white kind of villain side of the story.

[@GarredHATES]

God I love you have your own youtube Channel. I couldn't get enough of your content when I was a kid. always been a huge fan of yours.

[@irosencrantz882]

I would LOVE to see an either animated or (especially) live action rendition of Bruce Timm's portion of the "Batman Black & White #1". That Two-face story was awesome!!

[@peterskinder4533]

You guys scared me! By just looking at the title I thought we might have lost him! I will read a Dini Batman story before a Miller Batman story every time! Great to see him on one of your shows again!

[@olszewski422ify]

finally they bring Paul Dini back. The episodes of FMOBM that have Dini are by far the best. Thank you for listening.

[@chrisworley23]

PAUL DINI!?!?!? OMG, GEEK OUT MOMENT! This is the best guest star to have on here EVER. An behalf of all the Batman: The Animated Series and Harley Quinn fans out there we salute you.

[@masonmoyer8345]

I want longer episodes, man!! A solid 60 minutes of FoB 3 times a week is exactly what the Doc ordered.

[@FraserSan]

This video has 1 view and 420 likes.... I fucking love it.

[@thelittlepasty8360]

+Frazer Young I know, what the fuck

[@MissLilyputt]

It's up to 477 likes and 1 view. I think KZbin broke again.

[@benokazaki5462]

They're just that awesome 😉

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

+Frazer Young Now dance for us, Carlton. Dance!

[@Randymountaine]

This channel is blowing up, great guests and awesome interviews.

[@TigerlilyWarrior]

Paul Dini changed my childhood! So cool to have him on the show.

[@devinvelazquez8562]

Crawling to 100K subscriptions fellas. This thing should have millions but slowly but surely its climbing and getting around.

[@raymondrodgers281]

Another good show Kev. Paul Dini is good on the Podcasts, but it's so much better when you can see the people who are talking. Please keep up the good work.

[@philipthefool7253]

Hey Kevin and Marc. Loving the show and really enjoyed your interview with Paul Dini. Can't wait for the next episode. Thanks guys!

[@bertiebrown581]

Batman The Animated Series, forever.

[@Morbid0007]

Am I the only one who wants to find out where Paul Dini's house is so I can Trick-or-Treat there on Halloween?

[@robertgrosso3317]

This is like the third time he tells this story, which is awesome! We need more Dini in the end.

[@Scotthasaposse]

I had been wondering when Dini would return and I am not disappointed. I have relistened to the Shadow of the Bat episodes over and over.

[@andrews2280]

I didn't realize Dini had such an extraordinary and long career, from Looney Tunes to Batman to Lost and all those awards. That's amazing.

[@JazGalaxy]

I'm such a Dini fan that I know I'm going to tear up when he talks about his book...

[@PeterZeeke]

this list of credits is insane

[@williamforbus3862]

Totally awesome, I can't wait for part 2 of FOB

[@IH8YH]

just yesterday i found about 30+ Master of the Universe Audiotapeplays in a shoebox in my basement! Such good memories!

[@JamesHaney]

A most excellent interview with the BatMaster, Boy Wonderz!

[@CartoonManWhoo]

The greatest Batman writer behind Denny O'neil!

[@Machinehead18]

Wow this show is amazing! I love you guys! I can't believe it's Paul fucking Dini!

[@Binary79]

Damn that is one solid body of work. Big Fan of the the Arkham Asylum game, excellent base game to launch the series.

[@Quitin30]

I had no idea he was such a huge part of my life, tell him I said thanks =)

[@PaulH7791]

Thank you Paul for Batman...........from a Marvel fan lol........great, epic work.........

[@UlyssesKLAW]

Paul Dini is worth his weight in gold!

[@821lancevance]

best episode ever. I love Paul dinis work so much.

[@SkywalkerG1o]

Holy shit they are so stoned :D

[@ryanbanks3246]

I know you guys don't focus much on action figures, but the new Batman the Animated series line from DC collectables are fantastic, they bring me right back to my childhood, the only full set of toys I've continued to buy since StarWars Power of The Force.

[@terrywebb59]

Kevin and Marc another fantastic episode seen them all now and look everyday for more (there is not enough for me lol) love you both keep it up and I know something special will come of this show all the way from east London a cockney called Terry love use two

[@PolarisCastillo]

I wish we could go back in time and have Paul Dini rewrite Arkham Knight

[@ampecsu]

28:31 LOL Phill Bunny!

[@stephencody6088]

Paul Dini was how I got my wife to read comics. Mad Love was the first comic I bought her. She's a Harley fanatic now.

[@PeterZeeke]

paul dini, two words he-man. legend

[@mendelgreene4369]

thank you Paul for my childhood!

[@Sorutoku]

Such a great interview with an amazingly talented remarkable man! Oh and I lost my shit when he started talking about how he doesn't give a fuck about Rule 34 or lewd versions of his character! Some creators are such prudes about that shit but he just doesn't care I fucking love it!

[@abdalrhmanhussein684]

More episodes and more interviews please!

[@cjolwebdesign]

Wewt, P-Diddy's back in the Fatcave. Always an interesting guy to listen to.

[@abodine130]

As a San Diegan I love to see that USS Midway shirt Marc has on!!

[@MacTavish37]

In one episode this dude talked about working with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and also JJ Abrams on Lost. This was dope!

[@JazGalaxy]

Woah, Dini looks totally different than the last time I saw him. He looks like a wizard now...

[@Kurnelius1252]

Yusss! The great Paul Dini! Just recently listened to the 1st FoB podcast with Paul Dini so good #myjam

[@dangentz]

Looking forward to those NolanVerse commentaries! :-). Hell ya did a couple for 'Gotham'. I'd take the first 21 minutes of 'the Dark Knight'

[@przemysawseredyszyn1405]

38:09 Did Dini just took a dig at Alan Moore?

[@TheGuy735]

Oh I know what Paul is talking about when he was talking about the first thing Bruce did. I've seen it looks great.

[@MadHatter_920]

Paul is back! =D I love that man.

[@theashrook6129]

another great interview. keep'em come'n!

[@jimmynewf]

kevin smiths batman 66, animate the batman classic episodes, and make some new ones while adam west and burt ward are still around. DO EEEETTT FATMAN

[@michaelm1081]

countdown to 100k is on.

[@TOKAGERO1]

27:30 he clearly was saying that Batman was too dark so they changed the design to make him lighter, not that Superman can't be dark, WTF???

[@silverdragon710]

That was such a major fuckup

[@rodriguez9756]

Changing Color Pallette=profit for the toy sales your idea was brilliant & they recognized it.

[@paulcoy9060]

how come no one remembers Harlequin, from Teen Titans, back in the 70's , early 80's ? She was supposed to be the daughter of the Joker, but turned good.

[@lorenvburrell]

Paul Dini should be the Kevin Feige of the DCCU. Just my opinion.

[@RudeandNotGinger1]

nah, it should be Bruce Timm

[@lorenvburrell]

"Nah". Dini is the brilliant writer. Timm is the visionary. Perhaps both?

[@RudeandNotGinger1]

+Loren Burrell it will be great if both were involved in the movie universe

[@BillieEvanHughes]

Paul and Bruce should be added to the Brain Trust but certianly shouldn't be THE ones making all the decisions.

[@danielkinney1845]

i want those water glasses they have with cartoon silent Bob

[@TheSeventhZombie]

Think Diamond is distributing them. Check your LCS.

[@RhunWords]

Fastest Kev Smith intro in history

[@ratpackzero]

why i cant tap a like button a thousand times!?

[@martzs13]

DINI is the official god-father of this show

[@thebatmantm8852]

thank you For My Favorite Writer....

[@QuiJon]

Are those jay and silent bob glasses styled like the empire and jedi ones that you got from burger king back in the 80s?

[@27tmangs]

I just read mad love and I really enjoyed it.

[@zoz0boy]

Dini is productivity master.

[@Dr12Y4N]

DINI ROCKS

[@Merdicano]

Yay!, Duck Dodgers, big part of my childhood, Daffy goes to space!!

[@kirathchander8756]

Kevin Smith you the man 👍

[@themarshrox21]

Who remembers him being on degrassi? Not where I know him from but definitely remember that episode

[@kingofkings3651]

I fucking love this man

[@tropicalcatdetective]

Guess they can't talk about everything but they never brought up Paul Dini's awesome 'Madame Mirage' comic and how the character was based on his magician wife, Misty Lee. Was kind of hoping they'd bring that up at some point, oh well, still a good interview.

[@RealSB]

This guy is awesome. I had no idea how much of his work I absolutely love. Fuckin a!

[@zzgorgonzz]

After Dini there is only a man you can call as a guest... And look, what a coincidence: DKIII is being published just now ;)

[@maverickmegastar]

Man, I love this channel.
