It's election season once again and the fair citizens of Gotham City have the opportunity to vote for mayor. It would appear that Mayor Linseed would easily win as he is a fine, upstanding politician, but then the Penguin throws his top hat into the ring.
As with any political process, something new gets the attention of the public, even that of an arch-criminal running for office. There can only be one man who can stand up to this political machine - Batman.
Joining John to discuss this unusual episode that has many of the tropes of a Batman episode save for any real crime solving is writer/editor Glenn Greenberg.
