Batman Family Reunion Paul Kien

This month we have two all-star relatives at the reunion!

A big Bat-hello to Bat-Cousin Craig Boldman, a comics professional for many years who actually had a letter printed in Batman Family #12!  Listen to the segment on the Batmail Family Special Delivery from this issue, as we discuss how the other readers of the day dissect his plan to rename Robin as Robin Hood!  You should check out his website and then take a look at all his comics credits!  Thanks to listener Doug Vandiver for pointing us his way!

We also welcome Bat-Cousin Jim Beard to the reunion, published author and Bat-Expert on anything and everything regarding the Dynamic Duo!  Jim recently concluded his 3-volume treatise on the Batman TV show, and you can see those books here!

And make sure to listen to the feedback section for a story about a real-life bat in our real-life family!

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!

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…

Oh yeah! Bat-Cousin Ward Hill Terry drops by with his 2 kinds of Buttermilk Biscuits to talk about Batman Family #12.   We not only get to see Batgirl hit her head on the dashboard of an airplane, but Man-Bat is menaced by a flashlight!  All while Robin is doing trick Batarang shots!  And listen to the Bat Family History segment for a special surprise guest star from the Network!

Terry's band’s latest release!

Get ready for some Bangers and Mash! Shawn and Paul are thrilled to have Batty Uncle Martin Gray join the Reunion this month!  Not only do we get a wedding, but the first ALL NEW issue of Batman Family also gives us a Team-Up (ish?) between Commissioner Gordon and Alfred, and the start of Man-Bat’s feature!  Join us for the picnic and help us down this onion flavored ice cream!

Don't forget to check out our Gallery Post this month to see both of us at the Baltimore Comic-Con!
