Batman Family Reunion

Shawn and Paul shut down Gabriel’s Horn and the Wayne Family Gardens, but come join us for the last hurrah! We talk about our favorites from our 3-year Reunion party and hear about what you Bat-Cousins had to say about yours! We are also bowing to listener demand, and announce the subject of our next show, coming later in 2025. Thank you all for your support and for helping clean up after the raucous guests at the Reunion. We love our Bat-Cousins! Paul and Shawn   Have a question or comment?

Noted comic book and movie historian, venerated podcaster, and Mr. Kool himself, Rob Kelly takes a break from his cabin in the Poconos to bring vegetarian hot dogs to the Reunion this month! We get a real super villain, truckers, and our favorite phone booth to go with that noted member of the Batman Family – Red Tornado!  But we have a good time doing it – come get in on the fun!

This month Paul and Shawn welcome Andrew Leyland, host of the Overlooked Dark Knight and The Amazing Spider-Man from the Beginning, to the Reunion.  We get the return of Man-Bat to the pages of Detective, as well as a “real” super villain as the Penguin takes on Robin! We get a tense bridge stand-off in a Tale of Gotham City, but the big headline for this issue is the 2-part Batman/Batgirl team up – will the Dominoed Daredoll ever be the same again?  Stop by and try the grilled corn on the cob and UK chocolates to find out!
