Dustin Fritschel comes on the show to help me usher in a new era! I interrogate Dustin on his history with Babs…and we maaaaay play ‘Would You Rather!’ After discussing the upcoming DC Comics event ‘Convergence’ and reading some listener emails, we get down to business and review the DC event from 1989, Janus Directive! We then review Batgirl #35 and Gotham Academy #1, and Chris gives his Batman ’66 review. We finish up the episode with Babs in the Tube and a dual-literature recommendation!

Time for another Halloween-esque commentary featuring Batman, Deadman, Etrigan…and Sherlock Holmes?! This time I am joined by Michael Bailey on a commentary of “Dawn of the Dead Man!” and “Trials of the Demon!” As always, Michael brings his A-game with all his DC history and knowledge! So listen, enjoy, and learn a thing or two!

An SDCC treat! What happens when you get Joshua Bertone, Donovan Morgan Grant, and me in the same place together? Hilarity! Bette Kane, Barbara Gordon, and…others are the subjects for this year’s Wheel of Batgirls trivia challenge. There may be a few tricks in store…and many signs of Joker gas!

(Rated PG-13 for mature themes discussed) We read the stoy.  We discussed and argued over the story.  Now it is time to hear from others about the story.  Donovan Morgan Grant continues in his role as special-guest as we take callers and read e-mails all about personal experiences and thoughts from ‘The Killing Joke.’
