Shawn and Paul are sitting alone at the picnic table this month but hoo-boy! What an issue to discuss! We get Robin, Batgirl, Bat-Girl, Commissioner Gordon, Cold-Shoulder Lori, strange video equipment, father-daughter teasing, a color-blind villain, and plenty of hamburgers – all in the first story!  Man-Bat shares billing (and the reward) with Jason Bard (who also eats a burger) in our second story as they save Francine from the Shotgun Sniper! Shed a tear as Shawn shares a tale of heartbreak over Superman vs. Muhammad Ali!  Come on down to the Wayne Family Gardens and join the fun!
