Batman Family Reunion #14 - Plastic Suits and Crazy Neighbors!

February 01, 2023

This month, Bat-Cousin Paul Wildenberger brings his spicy salsa to the reunion to talk about Batman Family #14!  A crazy virus melts Batwoman and threatens Batgirl & Robin, but that doesn’t stop the Boy Wonder from another great Batarang trick! Meanwhile Man-Bat gets a shock from his neighbor, and we learn a little more about who is knocking on Francine’s door.  All this and more great food and company at this month’s BFR!

Batman Family Reunion #14 - Gallery

February 01, 2023

Another great Aparo Cover!

Melting away!

Great Kathy Action!

Bad timing!! I wish all of us had someone who looks at us the way Lori looks at Dick...

Break out the PPE Plastic Suits!

Check out this Batarang trick!

Again with the suit - it even has a pouch for Babs's cape!

Shawn is still gushing over this image of Wally!

And of course 12-year old Robin enjoys Kathy "filling up" the suit! 

Has Kirk gone bad?? Nope, just TV!

More of the cute expecting couple!

Best art in the issue, claims Paul!

If Zodiac Master is missing, what about Symbol-Guy?

The Best of DC!

Steve waited since the 1940s to ask this question, but Paul Z wins best letter award this month!

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…
