THE FANTASTIC POUR

Brett Young welcomes Paul Kien, host of DC Specialcast and co-host of Batman Family Reunion, shakes up a rum punch and reads Fantastic Four #5. Join us in the Fantasti-Lounge as we discuss The Thing as Blackbeard, vacation drinks, Doctor Doom’s chess set, how many times you should wear a pair of pants before you wash them, and much, much more!

Secret Pour-igins: Caribbean Rum Punch

Cocktail: Blackbeard’s Rum Punch

Ingredients (per drink)

• 3 ounces of pineapple juice
• 2 ounces of orange juice
• ½ lime
• 1 oz dark rum
• 1 oz spiced rum (or white rum if you prefer)
• 1 splash of grenadine

Garnish

• Lime slices
• Orange wheel
• Maraschino Cherry

Instructions

• In a shaker, add the pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, and rums. Give it a shake and strain into rocks-filled glass. (If you don’t have a shaker, pour directly into glass with ice and stir)
• Slowly pour in a splash of grenadine over a spoon that is upside down with the tip against the inside of the glass. The grenadine will sink to the bottom.
• Splash 1/2 ounce of the dark rum on the top (optional).
• Garnish with a slice of lime, an orange wheel and a maraschino cherry.

Comic: Fantastic Four #5, Marvel Comic, 1962

Shawn and Paul shut down Gabriel’s Horn and the Wayne Family Gardens, but come join us for the last hurrah! We talk about our favorites from our 3-year Reunion party and hear about what you Bat-Cousins had to say about yours!

We are also bowing to listener demand, and announce the subject of our next show, coming later in 2025.

Thank you all for your support and for helping clean up after the raucous guests at the Reunion. We love our Bat-Cousins!

Paul and Shawn

• Favorite Reprint Story
• Favorite Writer
• Favorite Artist

You can give us your answer to one or all 7 of those categories, and any other general comments you want to make.  Don’t forget to make comments on #495 as you would normally do as well.

We will incorporate as many of your comments as we can into our big finale next month!  Please leave your answer here on the website or email us at batmanfamilyreunion@gmail.com.  But please send in your answers and comments no later than WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 20.

Noted comic book and movie historian, venerated podcaster, and Mr. Kool himself, Rob Kelly takes a break from his cabin in the Poconos to bring vegetarian hot dogs to the Reunion this month! We get a real super villain, truckers, and our favorite phone booth to go with that noted member of the Batman Family – Red Tornado!  But we have a good time doing it – come get in on the fun!

Sing along with Mitch!

And Shawn’s Dapper Dad!

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!
