1970s computers have taken over the Reunion this month – get your apple pie before the AI does! At least we get to welcome back podcasting all-star, Chris Franklin, to the Reunion.  Thank goodness he is here to help us get over the terrible treatment of Batgirl by Robin this issue! We also get 2 Batman stories, an Alfred adventure, and see Commissioner Gordon go up against rioting prisoners! Have a seat by the fire pit – you may not like what happens in this issue, but we will have fun talking about it!

Batman Family Reunion #488 – Spooky Switches and Vanishing Cars!

Bat-Cousin Martin Gray flies over the Atlantic to join Paul and Shawn at this month’s Reunion!

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!
