The Spinner Rack - Special Batman Day 2026 Issue

Skye and Jonathan are back with a special anniversary episode! Yep, it has been one year since the Spinner Rack launched, sort of. A year ago Skye and Jonathan published their first podcast for 2025's Batman Day as a one off, which led to the Spinner Rack. This year's episode has some fun blind rankings, and a look at a Batman story that gave Jonathan childhood trauma: Dark Knight, Dark City, and more. So grab your favorite Batman blanket, or fire up your favorite Arkham game, grab a tasty beverage, and relax as we talk about all things Batman!
