That’s what I had to do - go back to 1 and read to 3! But it’s awesome! You’re going to love it (or I hope you do). :batparrot:

P. S. I’ve added a few new things to the Bat Collection recently! :sunglasses:

Sounds great, u know I like my reading, the longer the better, lol. I will definitely stop by & check out the new Bat-Gear. I watched a documentary I’d been saving forever last night. It’s called -Batman & Bill. I knew it (or had a humongous hunch at least) was gonna be great so I was saving it for a rainy day. It’s a must-watch for Batman or DC fans period. I never use the phrase “must-watch” either lol. I had an idea of what it was gonna encompass, just b/c I’d noticed something recently (within the last 7-8yrs) with Batman titled “anything “. Such a great documentary with the added bonus of uncovering one of the biggest secrets in the industry…I watched it on Hulu, but it’s been in on multiple platforms since I first became aware of it.
