1970s computers have taken over the Reunion this month – get your apple pie before the AI does! At least we get to welcome back podcasting all-star, Chris Franklin, to the Reunion.  Thank goodness he is here to help us get over the terrible treatment of Batgirl by Robin this issue! We also get 2 Batman stories, an Alfred adventure, and see Commissioner Gordon go up against rioting prisoners! Have a seat by the fire pit – you may not like what happens in this issue, but we will have fun talking about it!

It’s the year 1992 and the JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA, the world’s first superhero team, make a triumphant return after six years trapped in another dimension. Finally home, the JSA find themselves relics in a world that has moved on. It’s the age of pulse-pounding action, where the rules of Fair Play are tossed aside for gritty violence.
