It’s a celebration over here as we hit episode 150! We started out with a theme of anniversary issues, ones that were numbers leading up to 150, so a 50, a 100 and a 150. And we did do that. But somehow, we wound up with a second theme: stories where Batman trips balls. Sometimes you find the theme. Sometimes the theme finds you. We have a Shadow of the Bat arc where a new villain poisons some milk, “The Joker War” (which we both liked more than we thought we would) and a story where a little old lady tries to tempt Dick Grayson to the dark side.
