MUSICAL MONDAY! BATMAN SINGS?

MUSICAL MONDAY PRESENTS:

 FOR THE LOVE OF BATMAN MUSICAL MONDAY!

Is there any character more romantic than Batman? Well, actually there are probably at least a dozen characters more romantic, but that's not the point. The point I want to make is that Batman has got this sociopathic bad boy charm to him that just lends itself to music so well. I mean, all that angst, all that rage, all that leather! Batman is so cool that, if he were to acknowledge his own coolness, all the world's coolness would cease to have any sort of meaning.

The man is a Rock Star...well, he would be if he didn't hate music.

"PUNK is nothing but DEATH....and CRIME...and THE RAGE OF THE BEAST!"

And today's subject is a healthy dose of batty music ranging from the classics to the would-be classics.
