June 07, 2023

This month, we welcome Bill Bere of The Bat-Pod to the Reunion! He picked a doozy, as the table is set for 5 stories this month! The Huntress begins her solo strip with a barbeque (of Gotham), Lori dumps Dick, Babs slaps a Senator, and Kirk is wistful for his glory days! Oh yeah, and Batman swims through sewer water, earning Shawn’s respect forever! Come join the fun and have some strawberry shortcake!

The tradition after every second issue: We revisit issues 9 and 10 of the Official Handbook and look at what happened to some of those characters after 1985. Especially fashion-wise. Which are still Hot, which are still Not, and which have been redeemed or condemned? But wait! We're also looking back at Who's Who issues 1 and 2! Visit the lemonade stand and join us, won't you?

Featuring permanent panelists Elyse, Isabel, Nathalie, Josée, Shotgun, and Amelie.

Batman Family Reunion #16 - Gallery

April 05, 2023

Batgirl teams up with 10 year old Robin!

Lori gives Dick the cold shoulder! But he gets her burger!

Mannequins on a Train! Like Snakes on a Plane but more plastic!

Ouch! I'll just rub that bullet wound!

Brave CG!

Getting ready for dinner!

Daddy gets teased!

The print version.

The digital version.  Hmmm.

Yeah let's all resign.

Unnamed villain taken out by cardboard cutouts of Batgirl and Robin!

Wow, just wow.

And here is Michael Golden (also getting a burger).

Taking out the bad guy, with "flair"!

Get ready to be a Daddy, Kirk! (but put your shirt on first)

The stars of Shawn's Broadway show are the villains here.

Earth-2 adventures!

AWODCC - love it!

And the non-creepy Calendar Man!

I wish I had a Super-Hero Time Machine!

Batman Family Reunion #15 – Finding the Batcave and The Shotgun Sniper!

March 01, 2023

This month we have two all-star relatives at the reunion!

A big Bat-hello to Bat-Cousin Craig Boldman, a comics professional for many years who actually had a letter printed in Batman Family #12!  Listen to the segment on the Batmail Family Special Delivery from this issue, as we discuss how the other readers of the day dissect his plan to rename Robin as Robin Hood!  You should check out his website and then take a look at all his comics credits!  Thanks to listener Doug Vandiver for pointing us his way!

We also welcome Bat-Cousin Jim Beard to the reunion, published author and Bat-Expert on anything and everything regarding the Dynamic Duo!  Jim recently concluded his 3-volume treatise on the Batman TV show, and you can see those books here!

And make sure to listen to the feedback section for a story about a real-life bat in our real-life family!
