Tag: Batman Family Reunion

This month, Shawn and Paul welcome a real-life relative to the Reunion!  Todd Serenbetz stops by the Wayne Family Gardens to pitch some horseshoes and talk about Batman Family #10.  Yes, Kathy Kane is back, but we also get Uncle George Grayson and Fred Lloyd!  Who? You’ll have to listen to find out, but don’t miss out on Cousin Todd’s pizza!

Batgirl's got herself into a goopy mess here!  But Batwoman is here to help!

Lori is not happy Babs is calling her man...

What am I thinking?!?

Cavalier sure looks sad...

Shades of the World's Finest!  Finding out identities on a boat!

Are they really at a carnival?  Or is it the Island of 1000 Thrills?? And check out that next issue blurb!

Are the Dynamic Duo through?

Great art on this page!

Ah, the Super Friends Car!

Shawn and Paul are thrilled to welcome our Bat-Cousin Dan Greenfield of The 13^th Dimension to the Reunion, mostly because of the dishes he brought! (You will have to listen to find out what they were!) This month we get to discuss the conclusion of the Joker’s Daughter Saga, the return of Blockbuster, and another charming Golden Age Alfred tale.  Join us for the hijinks but whatever you do, be careful that you don’t let your mom give your comics away to Dan!

Great Irv Novick splash page!

Tangled up in the Cat's Cradle!

Robin hitting the streets!

What a cutie!  What surprises could they be??

"Catsup" or "Ketchup"???

Watch out for Selina when she's angry!

The villain of the issue! He may not be much, but he sticks to his theme!

Good thing Batman stopped that fan, or everybody would know what Kathy had for breakfast!

How did Babs get to Congress?  This story will tell you how.

The DC Line of Super-Stars! Yes please!

Next episode, Shawn and Paul will fight over the ruler.

Some great early Batgirl covers.  Which is your favorite?
