Batman Knightcast kicks off the holiday season with two seasonal adventures of the Caped Crusader. Warm up you singing voice as Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin follow Batman's unusual night of Christmas caroling with the cops in "The Silent Night of the Batman" originally from BATMAN #219. Then, when the year is at its darkest, the holiday spirit shines brightest; this it is, with Batman and Robin, and why the light and joy of the Boy Wonder is ever-important to the Dark Knight's endless war on evil. Check out "And in the Depths" from CHRISTMAS WITH THE SUPER-HEROES #2.

Holy Bat-Pod! This month, J. David Weter drops by the Reunion to visit with the Batman Family!  Batman is mistaken for a murderer, Robin solves a mystery, and Batgirl finds herself in the middle of a gang war! But we also get Elongated Man stuffed into a tire at a racetrack, and a Tale of Gotham City (on the subway)!  Hang on to your apple pie!

Batman Family Reunion #486 – Skeletons, Sea Devils, and Stamp Collections!

Happy New Year! Unfortunately, our reunion hits a somber note, as Ward Hill Terry (Stop Calling Him Frank!) joins Shawn and Paul to mourn the loss of Aunt Kathy.   But we do get some crack detective work by Robin, if not by the HUPD.  Witness an amazing balancing act by Jason Bard in the return of Man-Bat to these pages!  After a dessert of leftover Christmas cookies, we also see a foreign national burglarize Barbara’s apartment! And alas, we get the last chapter of the Demon’s Eternity Book saga! Stock up on those snacks – you’ll need them!
