Batman Family Reunion #13 - The TNT Trio Takes on The Outsider!

January 04, 2023

This month at the Wayne Family Gardens, Shawn and Paul welcome 2 guests - Tim Price and Dan Greenfield - to discuss Batman Family #13.  It takes this Quirky Quartet to discuss the 4 fabulous chapters of this epic story! Just like Robin, we all bare our souls and declare our love for Batgirl (as well as the art of Don Newton and Marshall Rogers), while enjoying Tim’s Seven-Layer Jello!  Hopefully all our listeners aren’t asleep, like Babs…

Shawn and Paul are thrilled to welcome our Bat-Cousin Dan Greenfield of The 13th Dimension to the Reunion, mostly because of the dishes he brought!
