Author: The Pensky File September 18, 2019 Duration: 1:13:31

This week, Clay and Sean discuss “Birds of a Feather” and “What is Reality?”







In “Birds of a Feather“, Veronica Vreeland is looking for a way to create a splash with her next party and arrives at the idea of having a former criminal in attendance — especially if there is one whose manners would create a stir. The Penguin, who has recently reformed, fits the bill perfectly. In the process of convincing the Penguin to come to her party, Veronica finds she likes the corpulent little guy. For his part, the Penguin begins to fall in love with her, until he overhears that he is merely being used…







In “What is Reality?”, The Riddler, seeking to prove once and for all that he has the superior mind, lures Batman into a riddle-solving contest inside the virtual reality of a computer game in order to save Commissioner Gordon’s life. In the course of solving the riddles and escaping the Riddler’s traps, Batman learns that he is able to manipulate the virtual reality landscape much like the Riddler does.







Thanks for listening!
