    "Why isn't Harley in it? Because Harley represents happiness." Kev and Marc should have hugged him right then and there; holy cow that hit me hard!

    Dini was brave writing his attack. Not only did I enjoy his book, I felt connected to him as well. Batman has been like a guardian angel to me these years. We need more comics like this one.

    @Cheeks730 Před 8 lety +61

    this is by far the BEST episode this is amazing and heartbreaking. I love Paul he taught me English.. well his work on batman the animated series did lol i would come home from school being made fun of for not knowing English and flip the channel to the amazing Batman animated series helped me, but it kills me to hear that happened to him, Please Kevin bring him back more often.

    "Why isn´t Harley Quinn in the story? Because she represents happiness". What a brave man, admiting like that the hard times of his life. I ll buy the comic book.

    @goddamnzordan Před 8 lety +12

    Kevin taking over like a pro when Paul chokes up to let him relax again! Kevin is the master of talking!!! the King. Interesting that I was listening Smodco Smorning shows recently and one of the last episodes were where Paul tells this story. So emotional. And I'm still amazed how Kev was a Batman in this situation.

    • @JedNadin
      @JedNadin Před 8 lety +1

      Totally, really smooth and empathetic with the cover up. On Kevin's part.

    @BosnianAdventurer Před 8 lety +21

    Paul is so brave, I'm glad he told the story and I'm glad he overcame that terrible experience. He's such a great guy, this made me an even bigger fan.

  • @Machinehead18
    @Machinehead18 Před 8 lety +77

    This show is so great! So proud to be a nerd. This episode and Paul Dini really captures what comics and Batman means to me, thank you guys!

  • @blew2864
    @blew2864 Před 8 lety +8

    Paul Dini is a fucking legend to be able to talk about that incident. This is a superhero backstory in real life.

  • @thegooodmachine
    @thegooodmachine Před 8 lety +11

    This is a really special video to me. I have PTSD from a few different incidents, one similar to the what Paul underwent (a mugger tried to cut my throat, nbd..) as well as relatively worse things since then. I'm here watching your show Kevin, and while it makes me feel more comfortable being 23 and still being obsessed with batman as I see you at an even more advanced age with the same passion, this has brought me even more solace. Paul Dini was a huge part of my childhood and is still (and now even more) an inspiration. I choked up when he talked about why he couldn't go to work. about why he couldn't believe in batman. I'm not oblivious enough to realize that my intense magnetic pull to batman is in part a coping mechanism (every story is about a boy who grows up with PTSD). It's hard to talk about all of this but I just want to say thank you to all involved for this video. I'm sorry anyone ever has to undergo anything like this at the hands of other. It really does fuck up your world view and your mind in general. But you guys make it easier, I love you for it and I HAVE to read this book.
    "she represents happiness" fucking feels man jesus christ

  • @joshualogan84
    @joshualogan84 Před 8 lety +21

    BRO. Lost it when he choked up on Harley being Happiness. God damn. Pre-ordering this now! I'm sorry you went through this, thanks for turning that pain to triumph.

  • @HeathMartinVO
    @HeathMartinVO Před 8 lety +26

    hearing Mr. Dini's story was very moving and touching. its a shame that fear and pain impacts so many great talents, thank God he decided to jump back in! We love your work sir!! keep fighting, and I know alotta guys that would grab ur back.

    Oh man. This story hit home to me. I know what it's like to get mugged on the street that you walk by everyday. I remember feeling like I had no control over my life and took me awhile until I forgive myself since for some reason I always felt that it was my fault as if there was something I could have done better when I replay the incident in my head over and over again

  • @matthewengebritson9777
    @matthewengebritson9777 Před 8 lety +6

    So sorry to hear about this. Paul Dini is a legend in my opinion in the animation industry. The man wrote and made most of the shows I watched when I was a kid. Hats off for sharing this story, and using creativity to get through it.

  • @MadHatter_920
    @MadHatter_920 Před 8 lety +1

    My heart goes out to Paul. Taking a horrible tragedy and turning it in to a force for good by writing that book... That's Batman. Paul, you're a real life hero, sir.

  • @David10011976
    @David10011976 Před 8 lety

    I 'm not sure which is more heartwarming, the courage of Dini, the compassion the boys, or the kind, thoughtful and supportive comments of the fans. It says something of the caliber of comic book fans and kind of people that make comics and enjoy them. Feeling good about being a comic book fan right now.

  • @GroundhogJay

  • @ExquisiteKinkyCoils
    @ExquisiteKinkyCoils Před 6 lety

    Paul Dini's story was deeply moving. He was very courageous recounting such a painful and traumatic period in life. Thank you for giving him a platform to share his story. I've enjoyed his work for years,

  • @MARCSEIDis
    @MARCSEIDis Před 8 lety +3

    While I never experienced the extent to what Mr. Dini did, I can definitely relate to the "You got mugged? You deal with it." attitude. Short and to the point: It's not fun.

    • @jojoface4940
      @jojoface4940 Před 5 lety

      It's fun when you're the one doing the mugging.

  • @kingfaraday2627
    @kingfaraday2627 Před 8 lety +3

    This is why I love Batman. Batman inspires positive change, he did so for Snyder, he did so for Dini. Batman inspires and is positive. It's why I despise the cynical Batman bullshit. This captures why Batman is a great character, Dini gets it. He's a truly tough guy with spirit and strength to have gotten through it all.

    @kingfaraday2627 Před 8 lety

    I just want to say to Paul Dini. His pain gave birth to his Batman. And his Batman helped me through stuff, it made me who I am. He'd wondered if his work mattered, and it very much did- at least to me personally and many others. Your work mattered sir and it inspired and defined people, your Batman defined me. I cannot express my gratitude and respect enough to Dini. In my mount of rushmore of Writers, Dini will always have a place.

    • @cjolwebdesign
      @cjolwebdesign Před 8 lety +1

      +Matt Young Seriously, whenever the camera pans back to a three-shot you see the pain in Kev's face as Paul recounts the story with obvious near-to-tears in his eyes. It was a tough watch, but definitely a good podcast/vidcast. Guess I can count myself as lucky living in Canada, it's something even fewer of us have to deal with/fear.

  • @TheDarkKnight244
    @TheDarkKnight244 Před 8 lety

    What a powerful and sensitive artist. That's why comics should never be put down as "kid stuff". To pour your demons in a story using such iconic characters is not only commendable, it's the true expression of artistry and craftmanship. Kudos, Paul, you're a corageous sweet giant and a great guy. As Kev said: don't ever stop writing! You justify our fandom and make us better.
    Thanks, Fat Man on Batman! One of the best shows on CZcams.

  • @radorado666
    @radorado666 Před 8 lety

    Great show, great episode. You guys went deep with this stuff and it was heartbreaking, yet very compelling to see Paul so emotional and honest about his experiences. I've also had my ass handed to me in the street (not as badly as Paul though) and I know where he's coming from and understand his struggles. Because of that it's even more impressive and... actually heartwarming to see him come on the other end of it, victorious and stronger than ever. AND telling his tale to empower/inspire others. A true legend of the Batman pantheon of writers showing that these are not just 'stupid stories for kiddos'. Thanks for the show, Kevin and Marc and I'm looking forward to seeing more of such excellent content in the future.

    I have a friend that went through pretty much the same thing. Luckily he was able to fight back and he didn't have to have surgery. He sounds just like Paul when he tells the story and he always says that he thought he was going to die. It was chilling to hear Paul tell his story.

    Good stuff. Although Kevin you have no idea how much I wish you would do videos on like camera techniques or just filmmaking in general. It'd be fricking AMAZING honestly. Would be very cool to see an actual director put out content like that. The process of writing a screenplay as well and how you do it yourself personally too. Sort of like a mini film school video type content. I'm sure it'd be quite a hit too.

    Dini's a fucking champ! Seriously can't wait for this. Dude is hands down the best Batman writer. Gets the character like no one else. He made my childhood with BTAS. Back when "kids" shows taught valuable life lessons, unlike the garbage today. Also, I wish Rocksteady brought him back for Arkham Knight. Writing definitely suffered without Paul..

  • @michaelmui9362
    @michaelmui9362 Před 8 lety

    Mr. Dini, Batman animated series was my catalyst on why I became a police officer and enlisted with the Air Force! The feeling that there are just people that would defend the innocence against people that just want to see this world burn. You are never alone in the dark, as the many soldiers of the light with stride to push back the darkness.

  • @Natura1Wyrm
    @Natura1Wyrm Před 8 lety

    Wow. Blimey. Amazing strength of character in Paul, and lovely way of addressing the issues with support, wit and humanity by our dynamic duo. I think I need that comic. I had a similar assault, with no justice resolution. I had to walk the same route soon after (it was on the way to my weekly rpg, geeky eh) and I as never sure if it was healthy or brave to do so, or that it entrenched the nervousness I felt each time. To use it and create something from it, that's amazing. Bloody well done Paul.

    Yep, Heart of Ice is my favourite BTAS episode. By far.

    Thanks Kevin. FMOB fan since the beginning, and the Paul Dini episodes are in my top 10. Seeing the big guy choke up really hits you where you live. Book is a must buy for me. Oh, the Fillion/Tudyk show was awesome! Huge "Firefly" fan! Love those guys.
