Product Description:
The Dark Knight detective and Zatanna, one of the world's most powerful magicians, join forces to take on an all-new Ventriloquist (albeit with the same old Scarface); Talia al Ghul, the father of Bruce Wayne's son Damian and daughter of his nemesis Ra's Al Ghul; the 'reformed' villain-turned-investigator the Riddler and more! But is romance bubbling under between Batman and Zatanna?

With this collection, Dini continues his above average run on Detective. Not every issue he puts out is a classic, but his highs far outweigh the lows. He starts us off with an Epilogue to the underwhelming Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul crossover. It makes for a fitting resolution, but feels a little tacked on. Then we have The Wonderland Gang, which is the weakest story in the book. I've never been a big Hatter fan, and he doesn't do much to change my mind here. Other than some great artwork ... Read More

Paul Dini's work on Detective Comics finally comes to life. For his first year as regular writer on Detective Comics, collected as "Batman:Detective" and "Batman:Death and the City", many of Dini's stories were illustrated by Don Kramer, who's weak pencil work really watered down the impact of Dini's straight forward storytelling. In this volume, Dustin Nguyen begins his tenure as regular artist on Detective Comics and the results are impressive. Nguyen easily places himself as the top Batman artist ... Read More

Nothing against Grant Morrison's writing (although a lot of people would say otherwise), because I do like his stories, but this was a nice breather from the mind-beating that you get a lot of the time you read his Batman books (Batman & Son, Black Glove, RIP). Private Casebook is a series of stories that, to me, were pretty enjoyable. It wasn't that they weren't dark, because they were, they just weren't so dark that you have to shine a flashlight over it and read it with a microscope (Again, no offense ... Read More

Paul Dini, the man behind the classic and brilliant Batman: The Animated Series, has had a decent enough run on Detective Comics, of which the Private Casebook here collects. Compiled of pretty much what amounts to be one-shot type issues, the Private Casebook finds tales of Batman's duelings with the Mad Hatter, Catwoman, and a new Ventriloquist among others. Zatanna is also here for the ride briefly, and there's solid artwork from Dustin Nguyen as well. While there's nothing bad about the Private Casebook ... Read More

There's no story arc here, just individual issues that are scarcely entertaining enough to keep you turning the page. Paul Dini is hit and miss, and this ones a strike.
As if trying to tap into something more nostalgic, the stories are on the verge of comedic and silly, similar to the more antique issues in Batman's catalog. But it isn't fun; it's dry, uneventful and for lack of a better word.. stupid. The superheroics and dark crime-noir are out of balance. I just didnt find anything special or ... Read More
