This month Paul and Shawn welcome Andrew Leyland, host of the Overlooked Dark Knight and The Amazing Spider-Man from the Beginning, to the Reunion.  We get the return of Man-Bat to the pages of Detective, as well as a “real” super villain as the Penguin takes on Robin! We get a tense bridge stand-off in a Tale of Gotham City, but the big headline for this issue is the 2-part Batman/Batgirl team up – will the Dominoed Daredoll ever be the same again?  Stop by and try the grilled corn on the cob and UK chocolates to find out!

Marvel is publishing Fantastic Four #1: Panel by Panel, so the Fire and Water Podcast Network is taking all the credit. But is such a book viable? Siskoid seeks out the FantastiCast’s Andrew Leyland to see if it is, letting the randomizer pick one panel from FF#1 at random. You’ll need to take your radiation meds for this one.
